Karaoké Little Ghetto Boy (live) Donny Hathaway

Little ghetto boy playing in the ghetto street

What'cha gonna do when you grow up

And have to face responsibility

Will you spend your days and nights in a pool room

Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood

Little ghetto boy you already know how rough life can be

'Cos you've seen so much pain and misery

Little ghetto boy your daddy was blown away

He robbed that grocery store

Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day

All of your young life you've seen such misery and pain

The world is a cruel place to live and it ain't gonna change

You're so young and you've got so far to go

But I don't think you'll reach your goal young man

Hanging by the pool room door

Look out son

Little ghetto boy

When, when, when you become a man

You can make things change yeah hey, hey if you just take a stand

You gotta believe in yourself and all you do

You've gotta fight to make it better

Then you'll see how other people will start believing too

And my son things will start to get better

Hey yeah

I bet that everything

Everything has got to get better

Yeah

I just hey

I believe that the day

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

I say hey everything just got to get better

Is what depending on you little brother

Yeah

Yeah, yeah
