Children Of The Ghetto

Mary J. Blige · Other Songs - Mary J. Blige

Children, children, yeah, yeah....

I'm talkin' bout the babies yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We gotta fight the battles

Yeah, yeah, yeah



Children of the Ghetto

Runnin' wild and free

In the concrete jungle

Filled with misery

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Theres no inspiration

To brighten up our day

None at all, not at all, none at all

So out of desperation

I would like to say



Children of the Ghetto

Keep your head

To the sky



Keep it up, keep it up



Children of the ghetto

We're always in the news

See toughness is our moto

And bitter blues

See there's no inspiration

To brighten up our day

None at all

So out of desperation

I would like to say



Children of the Ghetto

Keep your head

To the sky



Keep it up, keep it up

Oh keep it up



Cornell seranade the people



[Musical Interlude]

There's no inspiration

Ooh ah

To brighten up our day

No, no, no, no

So out of desperation

I would like to say



Children of the Ghetto

Keep your head to the sky



Keep your head up, keep your head up

See to me, see to me

We are all God's Children



Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la

Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la

Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la

Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la

(repeat x2)



Hold on tight

Everything will be alright



Children of the Ghetto

Keep your head
