Ghetto Child [Feat. Shaggy] Lyrics by Joe

Ghetto Child [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 beaten

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]

{Hey, yo', look at me inna different light
{Spare me all about those stereotypes
Ain't no madness that'll bring me down
Gonna take this life and turn it around

{Now see, the sky's the limit, I won't be denied
{Ain't no stoppin' me, I'm a ghetto child
And at the end when it's said and done
We will all be singin' this ghetto song

I believe that it can be done [Yeah, oh]
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 [Oh...oh...oh...]
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I'm a ghetto child [Let's go to church now]

Just because I'm a ghetto child [Uh]
I won't live down to your expectations [Take me to
church now]
Just believe that a ghetto child [Ooh]
Can rise in the highest celebration [Hey, hey]
Know that I am a ghetto child [Ooh, yeah]
But I can see the best in me, can you
I'm a ghetto child [Hey, ghetto child,
whoa...oh...ooh...]

Just because I'm a ghetto child
I won't live down to your expectations [Sing a song
for me]
Just believe that a ghetto child [Sing a song for me]
Can rise in the highest celebration [Everybody sing it
now, yeah]
Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see [Ooh, yeah] the best in me, can you [Oh]
I'm a ghetto child [So I can see the best in me, can
you]

It's not where you're from, it's where you're gonna be
[Hey]
It's not where you're from, it's where you're gonna be
