Ghetto Child Lyrics - Better Days - Joe

Feat. Shaggy 

{All the ghettos around the world} 

{Dig this} 

{Ghetto Fabulous Joe} 

{Shaggy} 

All the children sing {Uh} 

I'm a ghetto child 

I'm a ghetto child (Check it, out) 

There's a world out there that I wanna see 

There's a man that I'm destined to be 

I won't be stopped by the ghetto streets 

I believe inside that I can't be beat 

This life could be a ball and chain 

If you let yourself get caught in the game 

I had some friends who sold drugs for dough 

But I don't intend to go down that road

Just because I'm a ghetto child 

I won't live down to your expectations (No, no) 

Just believe that a ghetto child 

Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh) 

Know that I am a ghetto child 

But I can see the best in me, can you 

I'm a ghetto child 

All the ghettos around the world, dig this 

One day I'm gonna change the world 

Make a better place for every boy and girl 

Everyone in need, homeless families 

Have a place to sleep and food to eat 

I'll take every gun off the streets 

So another tear won't be shed in grief 

And every thug in every hood 

I will make 'em change from bad to good

I believe that it can be done 

Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one

I'm a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh) 

{Hey, yo', look at me inna different light} 

{Spare me all about those stereotypes} 

Ain't no madness that'll bring me down 

Gonna take this life and turn it around 

{Now see, the sky's the limit, I won't be denied} 

{Ain't no stoppin' me, I'm a ghetto child} 

And at the end when it's said and done 

We will all be singin' this ghetto song 

I believe that it can be done (Yeah, oh) 

Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one
