[00:11.62]I've been praying for you
[00:15.92]Hallelujah.

[00:25.69]I wanna be what's on TV,
[00:28.44]And if that's wrong,
[00:29.75]Please don't blame me,
[00:31.23]Cause where I live we have nothing
[00:34.09]In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.
[00:39.58]In the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.
[00:45.89]Little kids growing up
[00:47.20]Without no education,
[00:48.81]Mom's on ***,
[00:49.88]Cause that's her only medication.
[00:51.56]Nobody's home,
[00:52.50]But they ain't on a vacation,
[00:54.37]But they left the kids alone
[00:55.45]Watching the TV station.
[00:57.14]What's wrong with the picture,
[00:58.07]Please, someone give me the answers
[01:00.01]They be wondering why
[01:00.89]The girls grow up to be dancers
[01:02.83]Then we wonder why
[01:03.64]The boys grow up to be dealers
[01:05.63]And they be angry
[01:06.44]At the whole world ready to kill us.
[01:08.96]After we start to resolve
[01:09.83]The whole problems
[01:11.27]How we let our little children
[01:12.51]Destroying the goblin
[01:14.06]Why we got them all killing
[01:15.43]And stealing and robbing
[01:16.87]We need to plan a little
[01:17.87]Seed to prevent the mobbing
[01:19.70]Why don't we teach them that
[01:20.89]Science to reach for the stars?
[01:22.50]Cause they can beat the fire
[01:23.69]With the future worst than odds
[01:25.32]Don't want them looking
[01:26.05]In the past and covering scars
[01:28.32]They need a path out the ghetto, ghetto, hello.
[01:30.69]It is easy as 1, 2, 3,
[01:33.37]I wanna be what's on TV,
[01:36.22]And if that's wrong,

[01:53.62]Little boy got a dream of being a ball player
[01:56.34]Cause little homie wanna

[01:59.20]Little missy wanna grow to be a model
[02:01.45]While the momma at home
[02:02.89]Just drinking out the bottle.
[02:04.97]How come little one to grow
[02:06.22]And be a councilman?
[02:07.53]Sitting in a governer,
[02:08.59]A mayor politicianman.

[02:11.89]Keep tricking 'em
[02:13.14]Promise that they fixing it
[02:14.33]But they ain't really fixing it.
[02:16.29]That's why they want to be like me
[02:18.27]Like giga like B and Nicky and Ree
[02:21.25]Every day in the ghetto is an emergency
[02:23.91]But the power that be don't emerge in see.
[02:26.90]That's why you see killing,
[02:28.15]That's why you see crimes,
[02:29.64]That's why you see homies
[02:30.95]In the prison doing time
[02:32.58]That's why you see crack,
[02:33.75]That's why you see blackstrap
[02:35.69]But no access out the ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.
