| Ghetto, ghetto, oh now I've been I've been praying for you | |
| Hallelujah | |
| It is easy as 1, 2, 3, I wanna be what's on TV, | |
| And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, | |
| Cause where I live we have nothing | |
| In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto | |

| Little kids growing up without no education, | |
| Mom's on drugs, cause that's her only medication | |
| Nobody's home, but they ain't on a vacation, | |
| But they left the kids alone watching the TV station | |
| What's wrong with the picture please someone give me the answers | |
| They be wondering why the girls grow up to be dancers | |
| Then we wonder why the boys grow up to be dealers | |
| And they be angry at the whole world ready to kill us | |
| After we start to resolve the whole problems | |
| How we let our little children destroying the goblin | |
| Why we got them all killing and stealing and robbing | |
| We need to plan a little seed to prevent the mobbing | |
| Why don't we teach them that science to reach for the stars? | |
| Cause they can beat the fire with the future worst than odds | |
| Don't want them looking in the past and covering scars | |
| They need a path out the ghetto, hello | |
| It is easy as 1, 2, 3, I wanna be what's on TV, | |
| And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, | |
| Cause where I live we have nothing | |
| In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto | |
| In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto | |
| Little boy had a dream of being a ball player | |
| Cause little homie wanna grow to be a rhyme slayer, | |
| Little missy wanna grow to be a model | |
| While the momma at home just drinking out the bottle | |
| How come little one to grow and be a councilman? | |
| Sitting in a governer, a mayor politicianman. | |
| Probably cause the politicians keep tricking 'em | |
| Promise that they fixing it but they ain't really fixing it | |
| That's why they want to be like me | |
| Like giga like B and Nicky and Ree | |
| Every day in the ghetto is an emergency | |
| But the power that be don't emerge in see | |
| That's why you see killing, that's why you see crimes, | |
| That's why you see homies in the prison doing time | |
| That's why you see crack, that's why you see blackstrap | |
| But no access out the ghetto, ghetto ghetto | |
| It is easy as 1, 2, 3, I wanna be what's on TV, | |
| And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, | |
| Cause where I live we have nothing | |
| In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto | |
| In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto | |
| It is easy as 1, 2, 3, I wanna be what's on TV, | |
| And if that's wrong, please don't blame me, | |
| Cause where I live we have nothing | |
| In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto | |
| In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto | |
