{all the ghettos around the world}
{dig this}
{ghetto fabulous joe}
{s___gy}
All the children sing {uh}

Im a ghetto child
Im a ghetto child (check it, out)

Theres a world out there that I wanna see
Theres a man that Im destined to be
I wont be stopped by the ghetto streets
I believe inside that I cant 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 dont intend to go down that road

Just because Im a ghetto child
I wont live down to your expectations (no, no)
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration (oh)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
Im a ghetto child

All the ghettos around the world, dig this

One day Im 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

Ill take every gun off the streets
So another tear wont 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 Im that one
All the children sing (yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (yeah, yeah)

Just because Im a ghetto child
I wont 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
Im a ghetto child (ooh, yeah, ooh)

{hey, yo, look at me inna different light}
{spare me all about those stereotypes}
Aint no madness thatll bring me down
Gonna take this life and turn it around

{now see, the skys the limit, I wont be denied}
{aint no stoppin me, Im a ghetto child}
And at the end when its said and done
We will all be singin this ghetto song

I believe that it can be done (yeah, oh)
Gotta start somewhere and Im that one
All the children sing (yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (yeah, yeah)

Just because Im a ghetto child
I wont live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration (oh...oh...oh...)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
Im a ghetto child (lets go to church now)

Just because Im a ghetto child (uh)
I wont live down to your expectations (take me to
Church now)
Just believe that a ghetto child (ooh)
Can rise in the highest celebration (hey, hey)
Know that I am a ghetto child (ooh, yeah)
But I can see the best in me, can you
Im a ghetto child (hey, ghetto child,
Whoa...oh...ooh...)

Just because Im a ghetto child
I wont live down to your expectations (sing a song
For me)
Just believe that a ghetto child (sing a song for me)
Can rise in the highest celebration (everybody sing it
Now, yeah)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see (ooh, yeah) the best in me, can you (oh)
Im a ghetto child (so I can see the best in me, can
You)

Its not where youre from, its where youre gonna be
(hey)
Its not where youre from, its where youre gonna be
