Little Ghetto Boy
Donny Hathaway

Little ghetto boy, playing in the ghetto street

Whatcha' gonna do when you grow up

And have to face responsiblity?

Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room?

Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood?

Little ghetto boy

You already know how proud life can be

'cause 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 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

You've got so far to go on

And don't think you'll reach your goal

Young man, little ghetto boy, look at you

Little ghetto boy

When, when, when you become a men

You can make things change if you just take the stand

You gotta believe it yourself in all you do

You've gotta fight to make it better

Then you will see how others will start believing to

Then, my son, things will start to get better

Everything has got to get better,

Everything has got to get better
