In The Ghetto
In the style of
Lyrics
as the snow flies
on a cold and gray
chicago mornin'
a poor little
baby child is born
in the ghetto
and his mama cries
'cause if
there's one thing
that she don't need
is another hungry
mouth to feed
in the ghetto
people
don't you understand
a child needs
a helping hand
or he'll grow to be
an angry young man
someday
a-take a look at
you and me
are we too blind
to see
or do we simply
turn our heads and
look the other way
while the world turns
and a hungry
little boy
with the runny nose
plays in the street
as a cold wind blows
in the ghetto
and his hunger burns
so he starts to roam
the streets at night
and he learns
how to steal
and he learns
how to fight
in the ghetto
then one night
in desperation
the young man
breaks away
he buys a gun
steals a car
and tries to run
but he don't get far
and his mama cries
as a crowd
gathers 'round
an angry young man
face down
in the street
with a gun in his hand
in the ghetto
and as her
young man dies
on a cold and gray
chicago mornin'
another little
baby child is born
in the ghetto
and his mama cries
