Donny Hathaway For All We Know lyrics

Little ghetto boy , playing in the ghetto street
Whatcha` gonna do when you grow up
and have to face responsiblity ?
Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room ?
Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood ?
Little ghetto boy
You already know how proud life can be
`cause you`ve seen so much pain and misery

Little ghetto boy
Your daddy was blown away
He robbed that grocery store
Don`t you know that was a sad , sad old day ?
All your young life
You`ve seen such misery and pain
The world is a cruel place to live
and it ain`t gonna change
You`re so young
You`ve got so far to go on
and don`t think you`ll reach your goal
Young man , little ghetto boy , look at you

Little ghetto boy
When , when , when you become a men
you can make things change if you just take the stand
You gotta believe it yourself in all you do
You`ve gotta fight to make it better
then you will see how others will start believing to
Then , my son , things will start to get better

Everything has got to get better ,
Everything has got to get better ...
