In The Ghetto

In The Ghetto - Fawijo/Jelena/Larissa

Lyrics by：Mac Davis

Composed by：Mac Davis

As the snow flies

On a cold

And gray Chicago mornin'

A poor little baby

Child is born

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

And his mama cries

And his mama cries

'Cause if there's one thing

That she don't need

It is another

Hungry mouth to feed

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

People don't you understand

The child needs

A helping hand

Or he'll grow to be

An angry young man

Some day

Take a look

At you and me

Are we too blind to see

Do we simply

Turn our heads

And look the other way

Well the world turns

And a hungry little boy

With a runny nose

Plays in the street

As the cold wind blows

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

And his hunger burns

So he starts to roam

The streets at night

And he learns

How to steal

And he learns

How to fight

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

Then one night

In desperation

The young man

Breaks away

He buys a gun

Steals a car

Tries to run

But he doesn't get far

And his mama cries

And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round

An angry young man

Face down on the street

With a gun in his hand

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

And as her young man dies

In the ghetto

On a cold

And gray Chicago mornin'

Another little baby

Child is born

In the ghetto

In the ghetto

Hmm ha

And his mama cries

And his mama cries

Ohh in the ghetto

In the ghetto

Ohh

And his mama cries

And his mama cries

In the ghetto
