spinners - ghetto child lyrics
when i was seventeen
i ran away from home
and from everything
i had ever known
i was sick and tired
living in a town
filled with narrow minds
and hate
they used to laugh at me
the children called me names
i would ran and hide
feelin’ so ashamed
just for being born
i was just a boy
punished for a crime
that was not mine
life ain’t so easy
when you’re a ghetto child
oh baby, life ain’t so easy
when you’re a ghetto child
no one tried to understand
papa did the best a man could do
a child reality
is paid for by his faults
fancy fairy tales
are born and sold by those
who can well afford
time to make believe
childhood dreams can still come true
uh, huh- huh- huh
so i’ve been wandering
traveling all around
guess it ain’t my style
to live in just one town
still i’ll never know
why a child is blamed
ridiculed and shamed
we’re all the same
life ain’t so easy
when you’re a ghetto child
i’m a witness that life ain’t so easy
when you’re a ghetto child
yeah
ooooh, ooooh, yeh
life ain’t so easy
when you’re a ghetto child child
life ain’t so easy
yeh… hey, hey!
when you’re a ghetto child
life can be rough
life ain’t so easy
the going gets tough
when you’re a ghetto child
yeh, but remember
oh baby, life ain’t so easy
things gotta change
when you’re a ghetto child
things gotta change, gotta change, yeh, yeh!
life ain’t so easy
when you’re a ghetto child
whoa oh oh whoa… i’m a ghetto boy
