Guns In The Ghetto
Daddy don't go out tonight
Just stay home 'til morning light
Me and mama don't feel right
Please hold us tight
Daddy, why did you go to work?
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow
They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they'll set you free
One day I'll have children of my own
But I'm afraid they won't have me
Mama, is daddy home?
Why are you crying all alone?
Grandma's tears have turned to stone
And I'm all alone
Mama, isn't daddy back?
I'm getting scared and that's a fact
Why are we all dressed like that
All in black?
They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they'll set you free
One day I'll have children of my own
But I'm afraid they won't have me
Daddy, don't go out tonight
Please stay home 'til morning light
Me and mama don't feel right
Please hold us tight
Daddy, why did you go to work?
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow
They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they'll set you free
One day I'll have children of my own
But I'm afraid they won't have me
Mama, is daddy home?
Why are you crying all alone?
Grandma's tears have turned to stone
And I'm chilled to the bone
Mama, isn't daddy back?
I'm getting scared and that's a fact
Why are we all dressed like that
All, all in black?
They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they'll set you free
One day I'll have children of my own
But I'm afraid they won't have me
They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they'll set you free
One day I'll have children of my own
But I'm afraid they won't have me
They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they'll set you free
One day I'll have children of my own
But I'm afraid they won't have me
They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they'll set you free
Just stay home 'til morning light
Me and mama don't feel right
Please hold us tight
Daddy, why did you go to work?
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow
They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they'll set you free
One day I'll have children of my own
But I'm afraid they won't have me
Mama, is daddy home?
Why are you crying all alone?
