When I was seventeen I ran away from home
And from everything I had ever known I was sick and tired Living in a town Filled with narrow minds
And hate.
They used to laugh at me The children called me names I would ran and hide Feelin' so ashamed Just for being born I was just a boy Punished for a crime That was not mine
Life ain't so easy When you're a ghetto child Oh baby, life ain't so easy When you're a ghetto child
No one tried to understand Papa did the best a man could do
A child reality Is paid for by his faults Fancy fairy tales Are born and sold by those Who can well afford
Time to make believe Childhood dreams can still come true Uh, huh- huh- huh
So I've been wandering Traveling all around Guess it ain't my style To live in just one town Still I'll never know Why a child is blamed Ridiculed and shamed We're all the same
Life ain't so easy When you're a ghetto child I'm a witness that life ain't so easy
When you're a ghetto child
Yeah Ooooh, ooooh, yeh
Life ain't so easy When you're a ghetto child child
Life ain't so easy Yeh...hey, hey!
When you're a ghetto child
Life can be rough Life ain't so easy The going gets tough When you're a ghetto child Yeh, but remember
Oh baby, life ain't so easy Things gotta change
When you're a ghetto child Things gotta change, gotta Change, yeh, yeh!Life ain't so easy When you're a ghetto child
Whoa oh oh whoa...I'm a ghetto boy
And from everything I had ever known I was sick and tired Living in a town Filled with narrow minds
And hate.
