Ghetto Child - The Spinners (纺纱工)[00:00:00]
Written by:Thom Bell/Linda Creed[00:00:01]
When I was seventeen I ran away from home[00:00:17]
And from everything I had ever known[00:00:22]
I was sick and tired living in a town[00:00:26]
Filled with narrow minds and hate[00:00:31]
They used to laugh at me and children called me names[00:00:37]
I would run and hide feeling so ashamed[00:00:41]
Just for being born I was just a boy[00:00:46]
Punished for a crime that was not mine[00:00:50]
Life ain't so easy[00:00:57]
When you're a ghetto child[00:00:59]
Oh babe life ain't so easy[00:01:04]
When you're a ghetto child[00:01:07]
No one tried to understand[00:01:14]
Papa did the best a man could do[00:01:18]
A child's reality is paid for by his folks[00:01:30]
Fancy fairy tales are bought and sold by those[00:01:35]
Who can well afford time to make believe[00:01:39]
Childhood dreams can still come true[00:01:43]
So I've been wondering traveling all around[00:01:49]
Guess it ain't my style to live in just one town[00:01:54]
Still I'll never know why a child is blamed[00:01:58]
Ridiculed and shamed we're all the same[00:02:03]
Life ain't so easy[00:02:09]
When you're a ghetto child[00:02:12]
I'm witness that life ain't so easy[00:02:16]
When you're a ghetto child yeah[00:02:20]
Life ain't so easy[00:02:52]
When you're a ghetto child[00:02:54]
Oh baby life ain't so easy[00:02:59]
When you're a ghetto child[00:03:02]
Life ain't so easy[00:03:08]
When you're a ghetto child[00:03:11]
Life can be rough life ain't so easy[00:03:15]
With going gets tough when you're a ghetto child[00:03:19]
Yeah but remember life ain't so easy[00:03:23]
When you're a this gotta change ghetto child[00:03:26]
They gotta change gotta change yeah yeah[00:03:30]
Life ain't so easy[00:03:33]
When you're a ghetto child I'm a ghetto oh[00:03:35]
