In the Ghetto (World Turns Remix) [feat. Nardo Wick]

As the snow flies On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto (in the ghetto) And his mama cries 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need It's another hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto (in the ghetto) Now people, don't you understand A child needs a helping hand Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day Now take a look at you and me Are we too blind to see? Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way? Well, the world turns You never stood in that man's shoes Or saw things through his eyes Or stood and watched, with helpless hands While the heart inside you dies So help your brother along the way No matter where he starts For the same God that made you, made him too These men with broken hearts And his mama cries And a hungry little boy with a runny nose Plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto And his hunger burns So he starts to roam the streets at night And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight In the ghetto Then one night in desperation The young man breaks away He buys a gun, he steals a car Tries to run, but he don't get far And his mama cries Seen my mama cry, hard to believe Her baby sellin' drugs, can't believe it Said my first ten thousand, thought I was dreamin' Said they was solid, it got hard, they was leavin' You won't believe what I done did, you won't believe what I done seen Police DA behind, I run, they chase me, took one for the team I was born in the ghetto, raised in the ghetto I learned from the ghetto, all I know is the ghetto On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' Another little baby child is born In the ghetto Born in the ghetto Yes, I was born in the ghetto And his mama cries
