Ghetto, Ghetto Lyrics - #willpower [deluxe] - Will I Am

Ghetto, ghetto, 

Oh, I've been, I've been praying for you 

Hallelujah. 

(Lord save this church) It is easy as 1, 2, 3, 

I wanna be what's on TV, 

And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, 

'Cause where I live we have nothing 

In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto. 

In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.

Listen To Sam Smith's Triumphant Return With "Too Good At Goodbyes" 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

Little kids growing up without no education, 

Mom's on drugs, 'cause that's her only medication. 

Nobody's home, but they ain't on a vacation, 

But they left the kids alone watching the TV station. 

What's wrong with the picture, please, someone give me the answers 

They be wondering why the girls grow up to be dancers 

Then we wonder why the boys grow up to be dealers 

And they be angry at the whole world ready to kill us. 

Aye, after we start to resolve the whole problems 

How we let our little children just turn into goblins 

Why we got them all killing and stealing and robbing 

We need to plan a little seed to prevent the mobbing 

Why don't we teach them that science to reach for the stars? 

'Cause they can be defiant with a future worse than ours 

Don't want them looking in the past and covering scars 

They need a path out the ghetto, ghetto, hello.

It is easy as 1, 2, 3, 

I wanna be what's on TV, 

And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, 

'Cause where I live we have nothing 

In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto. 

In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto. 

Little boy had a dream of being a ball player 

'His little homie wanna grow to be a rhyme slayer, 

Little missy wanna grow to be a model 

While the momma at home just drinking on the bottle. 

Aye, how come little one to grow and be a councilman? 

Senator or governor, a mayor politician 

Probably 'cause the politicians keep tricking 'em 

Promise that they fixing it but they ain't really fixing it. 

Aye, that's why they want to be like me 

Like Jigga like B and Nicky and Ri 

Every day in the ghettos is an emergency 

But the powers that be don't emerge and seek 

That's why you see killing, that's why you see crimes, 

That's why you see the homies in the prison doing time 

That's why you see crack, that's why you see blacks trap 

With no access out the ghetto, ghetto. 

It is easy as 1, 2, 3, 

I wanna be what's on TV, 

And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, 

'Cause where I live we have nothing 

In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto. 

In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto. 

It is easy as 1, 2, 3, 

I wanna be what's on TV, 

And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, 

'Cause where I live we have nothing 

In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto. 

In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto. 

Ghetto, ghetto, 

Oh Lord, I've been, I've been praying for you 

Hallelujah, Lord save these children
