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 |
|
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 |
