Here the story bout a ghetto girl | |
Livin?in a ghetto world | |
Against the world alone | |
Problems in her ordinary life | |
Make you wanna run and hide | |
She can never get it right | |
Like the seasons when they change | |
Nothing ever stays the same | |
Surrounded by pain and empty dreams | |
So I pray (I praying for a better day) | |
There gotta be a better day | |
New day | |
Gotta be a better way | |
I tryna find a better way | |
See many times she didn have a dime | |
When the bills would multiply | |
Contemplated suicide | |
And momma never had that special touch | |
Her daddy touched her way too much | |
Finally she had enough | |
Like the seasons when they change | |
Nothing ever stays the same | |
Surrounded by pain and empty dreams | |
And she so alone | |
Living in the ghetto | |
I praying for a better day - oooooohhhhh | |
I tryna find a better place | |
Baby don you cry | |
Hush little baby | |
Please don you cry | |
Baby there no need to cry | |
Just reach for the sky | |
Don worry baby | |
Youl be alright | |
So learn to smile | |
Kiss your tears goodbye | |
She was a little ghetto child (I praying for a better day) | |
And then she turned her life around | |
Another day (I tryna find a better way) | |
And I gotta find another way | |
Baby don you cry | |
Dry your eyes | |
You can spread your wings and learn to fly - high, high?. | |
(For a better day) | |
Baby dry your eyes (Oh a better day) | |
You can spread your wing and learn to fly - high, so high?. | |
Baby don you cry (I praying for a better day) | |
You can spread your wings and learn to fly - high, high?. | |
(Her mother didn have that touch, no, and daddy touch her way too much) | |
Baby dry your eyes | |
You can spread your wings and learn to fly - high, so high? | |
Said she gotta get outta the ghetto, oh yes? |
