The Spinners - Ghetto Child lyrics

[The Spinners - Ghetto Child lyrics]

When I was seventeen i ran away from home
And from everything i had ever known

I was sick and tired living in a town
Filled with narrow minds and hate

They used to laugh at me
The children called me names
I would ran and hide feelin' so ashamed
Just for being born i was just a boy
Punished for a crime that was not mine

Life ain't so easy
When you're a ghetto child
Oh, baby, life ain't so easy
When you're a ghetto child
No one tried to understand
Papa did the best a man could do

A child reality is paid for by his folks
Fancy fairy tales are born and sold by those



Who can well afford time to make believe
Childhood dreams can still come true
Uh, huh- huh- huh

So I've been wandering traveling all around
Guess it ain't my style
To live in just one town
Still I'll never know why a child is blamed
Ridiculed and shamed we're all the same

Life ain't so easy
When you're a ghetto child
I'm a witness that life ain't so easy
When you're a ghetto child, yeah

Ooh, ooh, yeah life ain't so easy
When you're a ghetto child child

Oh, baby life ain't so easy
Yeah, hey hey when you're a ghetto child
Life can be rough life ain't so easy
The going gets tough
When you're a ghetto child
Yeah, but remember

Oh, baby, life ain't so easy
Things gotta change
When you're a ghetto child
Things gotta change, gotta change, yeah
Yeah! Life ain't so easy
When you're a ghetto child
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, I'm a ghetto boy
