Ghetto Child
Little girl, standin' on the corner
Somebody, please, won't you lend a hand?
I'm just the ghetto child
In this so-called, in this so-called free land
Somebody, somebody somewhere
Somebody, please, won't you give a dime?
My mother, she's sick, in the bed almost dying
And I ain't seen, I ain't seen my daddy in a long time
Now this is the part that move me so much right here
She said, I know, I know I oughta be in school
But I went to school one mornin'
And the teacher, she told me
"When you come back child, have on some shoes"
I'm just the ghetto child
Somebody, please, please help the ghetto child
I'm just the ghetto child
In this so-called, in this so-called free land
Somebody, please, won't you lend a hand?
I'm just the ghetto child
In this so-called, in this so-called free land
Somebody, somebody somewhere
Somebody, please, won't you give a dime?
My mother, she's sick, in the bed almost dying
And I ain't seen, I ain't seen my daddy in a long time
Now this is the part that move me so much right here
She said, I know, I know I oughta be in school
But I went to school one mornin'
And the teacher, she told me
"When you come back child, have on some shoes"
I'm just the ghetto child
Somebody, please, please help the ghetto child
I'm just the ghetto child
In this so-called, in this so-called free land
