Lyrics

[00:02.34] {All the ghettos around the world}
[00:02.43] Artist: Joe
[00:05.38] {Dig this}
[00:07.76] {Ghetto Fabulous Joe}
[00:10.17] {Shaggy}
[00:11.20] All the children sing {Uh}
[00:12.05]
[00:12.48] I'm a ghetto child
[00:17.71] I'm a ghetto child (Check it, out)
[00:21.86]
[00:22.49] There's a world out there that I wanna see
[00:26.09] There's a man that I'm destined to be
[00:28.98] I won't be stopped by the ghetto streets
[00:31.80] I believe inside that I can't be beat
[00:34.51]
[00:35.11] This life could be a ball and chain
[00:37.58] If you let yourself get caught in the game
[00:40.51] I had some friends who sold drugs for dough
[00:43.45] But I don't intend to go down that road
[00:45.62]
[00:46.32] Just because I'm a ghetto child
[00:48.83] I won't live down to your expectations (No, no)
[00:52.30] Just believe that a ghetto child
[00:54.63] Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh)
[00:58.13] Know that I am a ghetto child
[01:00.62] But I can see the best in me, can you
[01:04.02] I'm a ghetto child
[01:05.57]
[01:07.07] All the ghettos around the world, dig this
[01:08.34]
[01:09.77] One day I'm gonna change the world
[01:11.92] Make a better place for every boy and girl
[01:14.89] Everyone in need, homeless families
[01:16.35] Have a place to sleep and food to eat
[01:19.89]
[01:21.03] I'll take every gun off the streets
[01:23.67] So another tear won't be shed in grief
[01:26.76] And every thug in every hood
[01:29.18] I will make 'em change from bad to good
[01:31.00]
[01:32.24] I believe that it can be done
[01:34.88] Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one
[01:37.87] All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
[01:40.34] All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
[01:42.67]
[01:44.17] Just because I'm a ghetto child
[01:46.49] I won't live down to your expectations
[01:49.58] Just believe that a ghetto child
[01:51.80] Can rise in the highest celebration
[01:55.39] Know that I am a ghetto child
[01:57.85] But I can see the best in me, can you
[02:01.51] I'm a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh)
[02:03.66]
[02:06.18] {Hey, yo', look at me inna different light}
[02:09.36] {Spare me all about those stereotypes}
[02:12.08] Ain't no madness that'll bring me down
[02:15.14] Gonna take this life and turn it around
[02:17.43]
[02:17.94] {Now see, the sky's the limit, I won't be denied}
[02:21.03] {Ain't no stoppin' me, I'm a ghetto child}
[02:23.77] And at the end when it's said and done
[02:26.70] We will all be singin' this ghetto song
[02:28.95]
[02:30.01] I believe that it can be done (Yeah, oh)
[02:32.13] Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one
[02:35.59] All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
[02:37.82] All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
[02:39.52]

[03:24.65] whoa...oh...ooh...)
[03:26.64]
[03:27.40] Just because I'm a ghetto child
[03:29.29] I won't live down to your expectations (Sing a song
[03:32.49] for me)
[03:33.16] Just believe that a ghetto child (Sing a song for me)
[03:35.58] Can rise in the highest celebration (Everybody sing it
