[00:00.56]In The Ghetto
[00:01.43]
[00:06.23]As the snow flies
[00:07.73]
[00:11.45]On a cold and gray Chicago morning
[00:14.38]A poor little baby child is born
[00:16.50]
[00:17.12]In the ghetto
[00:18.00]
[00:19.87]And his mama cries
[00:23.49]
[00:27.92]Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
[00:31.01]It's another hungry mouth to feed
[00:33.69]In the ghetto
[00:35.38]
[00:38.50]People don't you understand
[00:40.43]The child needs a helping hand
[00:43.42]
[00:44.36]Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
[00:48.23]
[00:49.29]Take a look at you and me
[00:51.04]
[00:51.85]Are we too blind to see
[00:54.41]
[00:55.22]Do we simply turn our heads
[00:58.29]
[00:59.42]And look the other way
[01:01.91]
[01:02.54]Well the world turns
[01:04.53]
[01:08.40]And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
[01:10.66]
[01:11.35]Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
[01:14.03]In the ghetto
[01:15.66]
[01:19.03]And his hunger burns
[01:20.34]
[01:22.27]So he starts to roam the streets at night
[01:27.32]And he learns how to steal
[01:29.31]And he learns how to fight
[01:31.18]In the ghetto
[01:32.18]
[01:35.74]Then one night in desperation
[01:37.23]
[01:38.03]The young man breaks away
[01:40.09]
[01:40.96]He buys a gun steals a car
[01:42.96]
[01:43.83]Tries to run but he don't get far
[01:47.50]And his mama cries
[01:49.68]
[01:53.31]As a crowd gathers around an angry young man
[01:55.92]Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
[01:58.91]In the ghetto
[01:59.66]
[02:03.79]And as her young man dies
[02:05.67]
[02:07.11]On a cold and gray Chicago morning
[02:12.35]Another little baby child is born
[02:14.78]
[02:16.40]In the ghetto
[02:18.15]
[02:22.09]And his mama cries
