In The Ghetto - Top of the Poppers[00:00:00]
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]
In the ghetto[00:00:20]
And his mama cries[00:00:23]
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need[00:00:29]
It's another hungry mouth to feed[00:00:32]
In the ghetto[00:00:35]
In the ghetto[00:00:38]
People don't you understand[00:00:40]
The child a needs helping hand[00:00:43]
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day[00:00:46]
I take a look at you and me[00:00:51]
Are we too blind to see[00:00:54]
Do we simply turn our heads[00:00:58]
Look the other way[00:01:01]
Well the world turns[00:01:06]
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose[00:01:12]
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows[00:01:15]
In the ghetto[00:01:18]
In the ghetto[00:01:21]
And his hunger burns[00:01:24]
So he starts to roam the streets at night[00:01:29]
And he learns how to steal[00:01:32]
And he to learns how the fight[00:01:34]
In the ghetto[00:01:35]
In the ghetto[00:01:38]
Then one night in desperation[00:01:41]
The young man breaks away[00:01:44]
He buys a gun steals a car[00:01:47]
Tries to run but he don't get far[00:01:50]
And his mama cries[00:01:54]
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man[00:02:00]
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand[00:02:03]
In the ghetto[00:02:06]
In the ghetto[00:02:09]
And as her young man dies[00:02:12]
In the ghetto[00:02:15]
One a cold and gray chicago morning[00:02:18]
Another little baby child is born[00:02:21]
In the ghetto[00:02:24]
In the ghetto[00:02:28]
And his mama cries[00:02:31]
In the ghetto[00:02:34]
In the ghetto[00:02:40]
Oh[00:02:46]
