When I was 17 I ran away from home[00:00:17]
And from everything I had ever known[00:00:22]
I was sick and tired living in a town[00:00:26]
Filled with narrow minds and hate[00:00:31]
They used to laugh at me and children called me names[00:00:37]
I would run and hide feeling so ashamed[00:00:42]
Just for being born I was just a boy[00:00:46]
Punished for a crime that was not mine[00:00:50]
Life ain’t so easy[00:00:57]
When you’re a ghetto child[00:00:59]
Life ain’t so easy[00:01:04]
When you’re a ghetto child[00:01:07]
No one tried to understand[00:01:14]
Papa did the best a man could do[00:01:18]
A child's reality is paid for by his folks[00:01:30]
Fancy fairy tales are bought and sold by those[00:01:35]
Who can well afford time to make believe[00:01:39]
Childhood dreams can still come true[00:01:43]
So I've been wandering traveling all around[00:01:49]
Guess it ain’t my style to live in just one town[00:01:54]
Still I'll never know why a child is blamed[00:01:58]
Ridiculed and shamed we're all the same[00:02:03]
Life ain’t so easy[00:02:09]
When you’re a ghetto child[00:02:12]
Life ain’t so easy[00:02:17]
When you’re a ghetto child yeah[00:02:20]
Ooh yeah life ain’t so easy[00:02:43]
When you’re a ghetto child[00:02:54]
Oh baby life ain’t so easy[00:03:00]
When you’re a ghetto child[00:03:02]
Life ain’t so easy[00:03:08]
When you’re a ghetto child[00:03:10]
Life ain’t so easy[00:03:16]
When you’re a ghetto child[00:03:19]
Life ain’t so easy[00:03:24]
When you’re a ghetto child[00:03:26]
Life ain’t so easy[00:03:32]
When you’re a ghetto child[00:03:35]
Life ain’t so easy[00:03:40]
