In The Ghetto (Album Version) - Chris Clark[00:00:00]

As the snow flies[00:00:17]

On a cold and grey chicago morn[00:00:20]

A poor little baby boy is born[00:00:23]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:00:26]

And his mama cries[00:00:31]

'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need[00:00:37]

It's another hungry mouth to feed[00:00:40]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:00:43]

People don't you understand[00:00:48]

The child needs a helping hand[00:00:50]

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day[00:00:53]

Take a look at you and me[00:00:58]

Are we too blind to see[00:01:01]

Do we simply turn our heads[00:01:04]

And look the other way[00:01:07]

While the world turns[00:01:14]

And the hungry little boy with the runny nose[00:01:20]

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows[00:01:23]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:01:26]

And his hunger burns[00:01:31]

So he starts to roam the streets at night[00:01:37]

He learns how to steal[00:01:40]

And he learns how to fight[00:01:41]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:01:42]

Then one night in desperation[00:01:48]

The young man breaks away[00:01:51]

He buys a gun he steals a car[00:01:53]

He tries to run but he don't get far[00:01:56]

And his mama cries[00:02:01]

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man[00:02:06]

Face down in the street with a gun in his hand[00:02:09]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:02:12]

And as her young man dies[00:02:18]

On a cold and grey chicago morn[00:02:23]

Another little baby child is born[00:02:26]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:02:31]

And his mama cries[00:02:41]
