Hathaway Donny Little Ghetto Boy Lyrics

Little Ghetto Boy 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 ...
