《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In the Ghetto - Meja

[00:00:49] As the snow flies

[00:00:55] On a cold and gray chicago morning

[00:00:59] A poor little baby child is born

[00:01:02] In the ghetto

[00:01:08] And his mama cries

[00:01:14] Cause if there's one thing

[00:01:16] She don't need

[00:01:17] It's another hungry mouth to feed

[00:01:20] In the ghetto

[00:01:26] People don't you understand

[00:01:29] The child needs a helping hand

[00:01:33] Cause he'll grow to be an

[00:01:35] Angry young man some day

[00:01:39] Take a look at you and me

[00:01:42] Are we too blind to see

[00:01:46] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:01:49] And look the other way

[00:01:56] Well the world turns

[00:02:03] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:02:06] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:02:10] In the ghetto

[00:02:16] And his hunger burns

[00:02:22] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:02:25] And he learns how to steal

[00:02:27] And he learns how to fight

[00:02:29] In the ghetto

[00:02:35] Then one night in desperation

[00:02:38] A young man breaks away

[00:02:41] He buys a gun steals a car

[00:02:44] Fast to say but he won't get far

[00:02:51] And his mama cries

[00:02:58] As a crowd gathers around

[00:03:00] An angry young man

[00:03:01] Face down on the street with

[00:03:03] A gun in his hand

[00:03:05] In the ghetto

[00:03:11] As her young man dies

[00:03:17] On a cold and gray chicago morning

[00:03:21] Another little baby child is born

[00:03:24] In the ghetto

[00:03:30] And his mama cries
