(feat. Shaggy)
{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 beat
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)
