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 beat

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 beJoe
