Little Ghetto Boy(Live) - Donny Hathaway

作词：Donny Hathaway/Earl Derouen/Edward Howard

Little ghetto boy

playing in the ghetto street

What cha' gonna do

when you grow up

And have to face responsiblity

Will you spend your days and nights

in the pool room

Will you sell

caps of madness to the neighborhood

Little ghetto boy

You already know how rough

life can be

'Cause you've seen

so much pain and misery

Little ghetto boy

Your daddy was blown away

He robbed that grocery store

Don't you know that was a sad

sad old day

All your young life

You've seen such misery and pain

The world is a cruel place to live

And it ain't gonna change

You're so young

You've got so far to go on

But I don't think you'll reach your goal

Young man

hanging by the pool room door

Little ghetto boy

When when when you become a man

You can make things change

if you just take a stand

You gotta believe in yourself

in all you do

You've gotta fight to make it better

Then you will see

how others will start believing too

Then my son

things will start to get better

Everything has got to get better

Everything has got to get better

Everything has got to get better

Everything has got to get better

Everything has got to get better

Everything has got to get better

Everything has got to get better

Everything has got to get better

Everything has got to get better
