Little Ghetto Boy

My grandmother suits was tailor made,

Sundays Mahalia played

Simple familiar ways,

Like how she kneeled and prayed

Willin', master forgive us,

Our trust pastors had us real afraid

I never listened yet I still obeyed

I got to see how Philly played at such an early age

What my father was into sent him to his early grave

Then moms started chasin' that base, like Willie Mays

My childhood was all of forty nights and forty days

Trouble was my ball and chain, shorties would call me names

Humble beginnings

But a star is what it all became

My journey from a dirty hallway,

To the Hall of Fame

Music my therapeutic way to cope with all this pain

Was headed for the drain,

Soakin' before the rainwater came

And chaos, into the order came

I started doin' what I'm 'sposed to do in life

Tryin' to move out of the dark,

And closer to the light

They say if you get a chance to do it over do it right

Tomorrow isn't promised every time, you say goodnight

Knahmtalkin'bout? Uh, yo

Story of a little ghetto boy, check it outYeah yeah

Little ghetto boy, oh

Playin' in the ghetto street, ay-ay!

What'chu gonna do when you grow up

And have to face responsibility?

Yeah yeahWill you spend your days and nights in a pool room?

Will you sell caps of madness, to the neighborhood

Little ghetto boy

You already know, how rough life could be

Cause we see, so much pain and misery

Yeah, yeahLittle ghetto boy, yeah

Your daddy was blown away

Hey yeah

He robbed that grocery store yeah

Do you know that was a sad sad day?

Ey-yeahAll your young life you've seen such misery and pain

The world's a cruel place to live in, it ain't gonna change yeah

You're so young, and you've got so far to go

Don't think you'll reach your goal young man

You can make things change

Oh if you just take a stand, yeah yeahYou've got to believe in yourself, in all that you do
