Ghetto Children (feat. Marc Dorsey & N.E.R.D.)

Wake up wake up

Ghetto children

Wake up wake up

Ghetto childrenGhetto boy

You're my life

And there's so much for you to protect and to say

And baby boy

Don't hit your wife

'Cause your kids may grow up someday to be this way

You don't know

What you may be

To some boy

In society

There's a secret to why

You must survive

So listen to what we say

'Cause this type of shit happens everydayGo for yours cause dreams come true

And this is the message we bring to you

Hey now hey now now

Hey now hey now now

No matter what teachers say to you

Ghetto children are beautiful

Say hey now hey now now

Hey now hey now nowBaby girl

You're my life

It's important that you smile

And never cry

Study math and your sciences

Maybe you'll figure why we subtract and multiply

You don't know

What you may be

To some girl

In society

There's a secret to why we must survive

So listen to what we say

'Cause this type of shit happens everydayGo for yours cause dreams come true

And this is the message we bring to you

Hey now hey now now

Hey now hey now now

No matter what teachers say to you

Ghetto children are beautiful

Say hey now hey now now

Hey now hey now nowCrack town

Ghetto in the city

Buildings are abandoned

The girls are still pretty

A child looks in the mirror

Here to see my life clearer

All I see is ghetto keys to this jet black carrera

Of course 911 don't mean help

The only ones that need help is them sons without wealth

It's apparent that this nation

They don't know what they facin

Young natural born killers

And these street corner masons

You want that type of money

That you see in a mob flick

Would you stash it your wallet?

Yes with the lumps under my carpet

Listen to your heart

Why should I listen to you?

I was here from the start

But you don't bring no money through

Look I only fill capes

And to get it I kill jakes

By the time I'm 21

I'll be the ghetto bill gates

You were born to be an angel

That it was in my brain too

Now the only star spangled

Is coming outta my bangle

Now that I'm out (ghetto ghetto boy)

It's like the whole world blames you

Although the ghetto's nothing like the conclusion I came to

Your friends ill you claimin' both sides (ghetto ghetto girl)

Now they don't claim you

Ghetto children change the world

Don't let it change youGo for yours cause dreams come true

And this is the message we bring to you

Hey now hey now now

Hey now hey now now

No matter what teachers say to you

Ghetto children are beautiful

Say hey now hey now now

Hey now hey now nowGo for yours cause dreams come true

And this is the message we bring to you

Hey now hey now now

Hey now hey now now

No matter what teachers say to you

Ghetto children are beautiful

Say hey now hey now now

Hey now hey now nowLittle children the ones that caught up

The whole world wants to be a part of

A little ghetto thang

A little ghetto thang (to fade)
