Ghetto Child [feat Shaggy] lyrics

{All the ghettos around the world
{Dig this
{Ghetto Fabulous Joe
{Shaggy
All the children sing {Uh
I`m a ghetto child
I`m a ghetto child (Check it out)
There`s a world out there that I wanna see
There`s a man that I`m destined to be
I won`t be stopped by the ghetto streets
I believe inside that I can`t be beaten
This life could be a ball and chain
If you let yourself get caught in the game
I had some friends who sold drugs for dough
But I don`t intend to go down that road
Just because I`m a ghetto child
I won`t live down to your expectations (No, no)
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I`m a ghetto child
All the ghettos around the world, dig this
One day I`m gonna change the world
Make a better place for every boy and girl
Everyone in need, homeless families
Have a place to sleep and food to eat
I`ll take every gun off the streets
So another tear won`t be shed in grief
And every thug in every hood
I will make `em change from bad to good
I believe that it can be done
Gotta start somewhere and I`m that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
Just because I`m a ghetto child
I won`t live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I`m a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah, ooh)
{Hey, yo`, look at me inna different light
{Spare me all about those stereotypes
Ain`t no madness that`ll bring me down
Gonna take this life and turn it around
{Now see, the sky`s the limit, I won`t be denied
{Ain`t no stoppin` me, I`m a ghetto child
And at the end when it`s said and done
We will all be singin` this ghetto song
I believe that it can be done (Yeah, oh)
Gotta start somewhere and I`m that one
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing (Yeah, yeah)
Just because I`m a ghetto child
I won`t live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration (Oh...oh...oh...)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I`m a ghetto child (Let`s go to church now)
Just because I`m a ghetto child (Uh)
I won`t live down to your expectations (Take me to
church now)
Just believe that a ghetto child (Ooh)
Can rise in the highest celebration (Hey, hey)
Know that I am a ghetto child (Ooh, yeah)
But I can see the best in me, can you
I`m a ghetto child (Hey, ghetto child,
whoa...oh...ooh...)
Just because I`m a ghetto child
I won`t live down to your expectations (Sing a song
for me)
Just believe that a ghetto child (Sing a song for me)
Can rise in the highest celebration (Everybody sing it
now, yeah)
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see (Ooh, yeah) the best in me, can you (Oh)
I`m a ghetto child (So I can see the best in me, can
you)
It`s not where you`re from, it`s where you`re gonna be
(Hey)
It`s not where you`re from, it`s where you`re gonna be
