If you ever lived in a ghetto

It may be at the close of your day

On your front porch you hear the sound of a jukebox

From a neighborhood café

At noon you may hear neighbors cussing

When a kid breaks a window pane yeah

At night at night at night ooh

you may be wakened

By the sound of an outbound train

Outsiders they refuse to help us yes they do

And they down us for living the way we do mmh

But when you're born the child

the child of a poor man ooh

They say the ghetto is the only place for you

But if there's such thing as hereafter

And I'm satisfied satisfied ooh

that there will be ooh

When they build when they build

when they build New Jerusalem

There won't be no more ghetto ghetto

for me no there won't

There won't be no more ghetto ghetto

for me no there won't

There won't be no more ghetto ghetto

for me no there won't
