Ghetto Children(feat Marc Dorsey And Nerd Lyrics

[N.E.R.D.]

 Yo, wake up, wake up

 Ghetto children

 Wake up, wake up

 Ghetto children

 Wake up, wake up

 Ghetto children

 Wake up, wake up

 Ghetto children

 Wake up, wake up

 Hey, hey

 

 [Marc Dorsey (Kelis)]

 You're a ghetto boy

 You're my life

 And there's so much for you to protect and to save

 And baby boy don't hit your wife

 Cause your kids may grow up someday to be this way, yeah

 

 You don't know what you may be

 To some boy in society

 There's a secret to why

 (There's a secret)

 You must survive

 So listen to what we say

 Cause this type of shit happens every day

 

 [1] - [Kelis & Marc Dorsey]

 Come for yours cause dreams come true

 And this is the message that we bring through

 Say hey now, hey now, now

 Hey now, hey now

 No matter what teachers say to you

 Ghetto children are beautiful

 Say hey now, hey now, now

 Hey now, hey now

 

 [Kelis & Marc]

 Baby girl you're my life

 It's important that you smile

 And never cry

 (Don't never cry)

 Study math and your sciences

 Maybe you'll figure why we subtract and not multiply

 

 You don't know what you may be

 To some girl in society

 There's a secret to why

 We must survive

 So listen to what we say

 Cause this type of shit happens every day

 

 [Repeat 1]

 

 [N.E.R.D.]

 Crack town ghetto in the city

 Buildings are abandoned but the girls are still pretty

 A child looks in the mirror

 Yeah to see my life clearer

 All I see is ghetto keys to this jet black coke gram

 Nine eleven course

 Of course 911 don't mean help

 The only ones that need help is them sons without wealth

 It's apparent that this nation they don't know what they facing

 Young natural born killers and these street corner masons

 You want that type of money that you see in the mob cliques

 With your stashes in the drawers

 Yes with the lumps under my carpet

 Listen to your heart

 Why should I listen to you?

 I was here from the start

 But you don't bring no money through

 Look I only feel capes

 And to get it I kill Jakes

 By the time I'm 20 wanna be the ghetto Bill Gates

 You a wannabe an angel

 That was in my brain too

 Now the only Star Spangle's coming out my Cango

 Now that I'm out it's like the whole world flames you

 Although the ghetto's nothing like the conclusion I came to

 Your friends see you playing both sides

 Now they don't claim you

 Ghetto children change the world

 Don't let the world change you, come on word

 

 [Repeat 1]

 

 [Repeat 1]

 

 [N.E.R.D.]

 Little children wanna seem part of

 The whole world wants to be apart of

 A little ghetto things, a little ghetto things

 Ay yo, ay yo

 Little children wanna seem part of

 The whole world wants to be apart of

 My little ghetto kings, my little ghetto queens
