In the Ghetto - ADAMO[00:00:00]

Written by：Mac Davis[00:00:01]

As the snow flies[00:00:06]

On a cold and gray Chicago morning[00:00:11]

A poor little baby child is born[00:00:14]

In the ghetto[00:00:17]

And his mama cries[00:00:23]

Cause if there's one thing that she don't need[00:00:28]

It's another little hungry mouth to feed[00:00:31]

In the ghetto[00:00:34]

People don't you understand[00:00:39]

A child needs a helping hand[00:00:42]

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day[00:00:45]

Take a look at you and me[00:00:51]

Are we too blind to see[00:00:53]

Do we simply turn our heads[00:00:57]

And look the other way[00:00:59]

Well the world turns[00:01:04]

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose[00:01:09]

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows[00:01:12]

In the ghetto[00:01:15]

And his hunger burns[00:01:20]

So he starts to roam the streets at night[00:01:26]

And he learns how to steal[00:01:29]

And he learns how to fight[00:01:30]

In the ghetto[00:01:32]

Then one night in desperation[00:01:38]

A young man breaks away[00:01:40]

He buys a gun he steals a car[00:01:43]

Tries to run but he don't get far[00:01:46]

And his mama cries[00:01:50]

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man[00:01:55]

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand[00:01:57]

In the ghetto[00:02:00]

And as her young man dies[00:02:06]

On a cold and gray Chicago morning[00:02:11]

Another little baby child is born[00:02:14]

In the ghetto[00:02:17]

And his mama cries[00:02:23]
