Donny Hathaway – Little Ghetto Boy lyrics

Little ghetto boy ,
playing in the ghetto streets
What you gone do when you grow up
And have responsibility
Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room
Will you sell caps of madness in the neighborhood
Little ghetto boy
You already know how rough life can be
Because you've seen so much pain and misery
Little ghetto boy
your daddy got blown away
He robbed that grocery store don't you know
That was a sad sad ode Day

All your young life you've seen such misery and pain
That's no way to live and it ain't going to change
Don't you know you've got so far to go
I don't think you'll reach your goal young man
hanging on the Poolhouse floor
Little ghetto boy when you when you become a man
You can make things change hey hey
If you just take a stand
you've got to believe in yourself in all you do
You've got to fight to make it better
then you'll see how others will start believing to
Then my son things will start to get better
Everything's got to get better
Everything's got to get better
I said everything's got to get better everything is got to get better
Everything's got to get better
