In the Ghetto (Rerecorded) - Candi Staton[00:00:00]

Written by：Davis/Mac[00:00:02]

As the snow flies[00:00:11]

On a cold and gray Chicago morn[00:00:17]

A poor little baby child is born[00:00:20]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:00:23]

And his mama cries[00:00:28]

'Cause if there's one thing[00:00:33]

That she don't need[00:00:35]

It's another little[00:00:36]

Hungry mouth to feed[00:00:37]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:00:40]

People don't you understand[00:00:44]

The child needs a helping hand[00:00:46]

Or he'll grow to be an[00:00:50]

Angry young man some day[00:00:51]

Take a look at you and me[00:00:55]

Are we too blind to see[00:00:58]

Or do we simply turn our heads[00:01:01]

And look the other way[00:01:04]

Well the world turns[00:01:09]

And a hungry little boy[00:01:13]

With a runny nose[00:01:15]

Plays in the street[00:01:16]

As the cold wind blows[00:01:17]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:01:20]

And his hunger burns[00:01:24]

So he starts to[00:01:30]

Roam the street at night[00:01:31]

He learns how to steal[00:01:33]

And he learns how to fight[00:01:34]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:01:37]

And then one night in desperation[00:01:41]

A 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[00:01:49]

And his mama cries[00:01:55]

As a crowd gathers round[00:01:59]

An angry young man[00:02:00]

Face down in the street[00:02:02]

With a gun in his hand[00:02:03]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:02:06]

And as her young man dies[00:02:10]

On a cold and grey Chicago morn[00:02:15]

Another little baby child is born[00:02:18]

In the ghetto in the ghetto[00:02:25]

And his mama cries in the ghetto[00:02:38]
