[00:00.58] India Arie - ghetto
[00:02.27]
[00:04.30]
[00:05.61]
[00:07.10] There are places in Havannah,
[00:09.65] That remind me of Savannah.
[00:12.38] Parts of West Virgina,
[00:15.39] That might as well be Kenya.
[00:18.20] Parts of New York City,
[00:20.91] Parts of Mississippi.
[00:23.82] Parts of Tennessee,
[00:25.61] Look like another world to me.
[00:28.56] Oh, oh oh, Ghetto-o-o-o,
[00:31.54] Might as well be another country.
[00:35.09] Barrio-o-o-o,
[00:37.04] Might as well be another country.
[00:40.39] When you look around,
[00:43.16] You live in another country too (too).
[00:49.01]
[00:51.48] To be hungry in L.A.
[00:54.13] Is just like starving in Bombay.
[00:57.11] Homeless in Moracco,
[00:59.62] Is a shelter in Chicago.
[01:02.44] Right around the corner,
[01:05.48] Just down the road.
[01:08.18] Right before your eyes,
[01:10.96] Right under your nose.
[01:13.05] Hey, the ghetto-o-o-o
[01:15.83] Might as well be another country.
[01:19.42] Barrio-o-o-o,
[01:21.21] Might as well be another country.
[01:24.79] When you look around,
[01:27.61] You live in another country too (too).
[01:33.29]
[01:47.10] Now the dictionary says,
[01:49.66] That the ghetto is a place
[01:52.41] Of minority, and poverty, and over population.
[01:58.13] We live on this earth together,
[02:01.05] Ain't no separation.
[02:03.65] When you're looking down,
[02:05.31] From outer space.
[02:06.47] We're just a human race and the world is a
[02:09.52] Ghetto-o-o-o,
[02:11.33] Listen every place and every country.
[02:14.87] Barrio-o-o-o,
[02:16.96] It's in every place and every country.
[02:20.35] When you look around,
[02:23.24] Do you see your brother when you
[02:26.12] Look around?
[02:28.39] It's a small world after all.
[02:31.62] Look around,
[02:34.23] You live in another country too.
[02:39.13]
[02:42.57] (Ghetto) Jamaica is a ghetto
