All The Ghetto's around the world
All the children sing

I'm a Ghetto Child, I'm a Ghetto Child

There's a world out there that I wanna see
There's a man that I'm destined to be
I won't be stopped by the Ghetto streets
I believe inside that I can't be beat
This life could be a ball and chain
If you let yourself get caught in the game
I had some friends who sold drugs for dough
But I don't intend to go down that road
Just because

I'm a ghetto child
I won't live down to your expectations
(No, no)
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you?
I'm a ghetto child

All the ghettos around the world,
One day I'm gonna change the world
Make a better place for every boy and girl
Everyone in need, homeless families
Have a place to sleep
and food to eat
I'll take every gun off the streets
So another tear won't be shed in grief
And every thug in every hood
I will make 'em change from bad to good
I believe that it can be done
Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)

Just because I'm a ghetto child
I won't live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you?
I'm a ghetto child
Hey, yo',look at me in a different light
Spare me all about those stereotypes

Ain't no madness that'll bring me down
Gonna take this life and turn it around
Now see, the sky's the limit, I won't be denied
Ain't no stoppin' me, I'm a ghetto child

And at the end when it's said and done
We will all be singin' this ghetto song
I believe that it can be done
Gotta start somewhere and I'm that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)

Just because I'm a ghetto child
I won't live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you?
I'm a ghetto child

It's not where you're from,
It's where you're gonna be
