Little Ghetto Boy - John Legend & The Roots[00:00:00]

My grandmother suits was tailor made [00:00:02]

Sundays Mahalia played[00:00:04]

Simple familiar ways [00:00:05]

Like how she kneeled and prayed[00:00:06]

Willin master forgive us [00:00:08]

Our trust pastors had us real afraid[00:00:10]

I never listened yet I still obeyed[00:00:12]

I got to see how Philly played at such an early age[00:00:14]

What my father was into sent him to his early grave[00:00:16]

Then moms started chasin that base like Willie Mays[00:00:19]

My childhood was all of 40 nights and 40 days[00:00:22]

Trouble was my ball and chain [00:00:25]

Shorties would call me names[00:00:26]

Humble beginnings but a star is what it all became[00:00:28]

My journey from a dirty hallway to the Hall of Fame[00:00:30]

Music my therapeutic way to cope with all this pain[00:00:33]

Was headed for the drain [00:00:36]

Soakin before the rainwater came[00:00:37]

And chaos into the order came[00:00:39]

I started doin what I'm 'sposed to do in life[00:00:41]

Tryin to move out of the dark [00:00:44]

And closer to the light[00:00:45]

They say if you get a chance to do it [00:00:47]

Overdo it right[00:00:48]

Tomorrow isn't promised every time [00:00:50]

You say goodnight[00:00:52]

What'chu gonna do when you grow up[00:01:09]

And have to face responsibility [00:01:13]

Yeah yeahhh[00:01:17]

Will you spend your days and nights in a pool room [00:01:20]

Will you sell caps of madness [00:01:26]

To the neighborhood[00:01:29]
