Will.I.Am - Ghetto, Ghetto lyrics

[Intro:] Ghetto, ghetto Oh lord! I've been praying for you Hallelujah [Hook:] It is easy as 1, 2, 3 I wanna be what's on TV And if that's wrong, please don't blame me Cause where I live we have nothing In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto [Verse 1:] Little kids growing up without no education Mom's on d**, cause that's her only medication Nobody's home, but they ain't on a vacation But they left the kids alone watching the TV station What's wrong with the picture, please, someone give me the answers They be wondering why the girls grow up to be dancers Then we wonder why the boys grow up to be dealers And they be angry at the whole world ready to k** us How do we start to resolve the whole problem How we let our little children just turn into goblins Why we got them all k**ing and stealing and robbing We need to plan a little seed to prevent the mobbing Why don't we teach them that science to reach for the stars? Cause they can beat the fire with the future worst than odds Don't want them looking in the past and covering scars They need a path out the ghetto, ghetto, hello! [Hook:] It is easy as 1, 2, 3 I wanna be what's on TV And if that's wrong, please don't blame me Cause where I live we have nothing In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto [Verse 2:] Little boy had a dream of being a ball player Cause little homie wanna grow to be a rhyme slayer Little missy wanna grow to be a model While the momma at home just drinking out the bottle How come they don't want to grow to be a councilman? Senator, a governor, a major politician man Probably cause the politicians nearly keep on tricking 'em Promise that they fixing it but they ain't really fixing it That's why they want to be like me Like Jigga, like B and Nicky and Ree Every day in the ghetto is an emergency But the power that be don't emerge in see That's why you see k**ing, that's why you see crimes That's why you see homies in the prison doing time That's why you see crack, that's why you see blackstrap But no access out the ghetto, ghetto [Hook:] It is easy as 1, 2, 3 I wanna be what's on TV And if that's wrong, please don't blame me Cause where I live we have nothing In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto [Outro:] Ghetto, ghetto Oh lord! I've been praying for you Hallelujah
