The children of the ghetto Runnin' wild and free Children of the ghetto Runnin' wild and free In the concrete jungle Filled with misery There's no inspiration To brighten up our day Out of desperation I would like to say Children of the ghetto Keep your head To the sky Children of the ghetto Always in the news Toughness is their moto And bitter are their blues But deep inside of the ghetto There's a unity Their councils are for sorrows And no misery Children of the ghetto Keep your head To the sky Children of the ghetto Keep your head To the sky
