Ghetto Child (demo Version) lyrics
Songwriters: Mayfield, Curtis;

Little child, runnin wild
Watch a while
You see he never smiles

Broken home, father gone
Mama tired, so he s all alone
Kind of sad, kind of mad
Ghetto child, thinkin he s been had

But I can just hear him
In the back of his mind sayin
Didn t have to be here

You didn t have to love for me
While I was just a nothin child
Why couldn t y all just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me be?

Little child, runnin wild
Watch a while
You see he never smiles

Broken home, daddy gone
Mama tired and he s all alone
Kind of sad, oh baby, kind of mad
Ghetto child, thinkin he s been had

And I can just hear him sayin
I didn t have to be here
You didn t have to love for me

While I was just a nothin child
Why couldn t they just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me be?

Ain t got no money
I got to play in the alleys, ain t got no pride
Just took everything out of me, I got it sad

Got to make it alone
Got to get away from home
There s ain t no fun, my life I just run

Run on, run on, run on ghetto child
Run on ghetto child
Run on ghetto child
Run on ghetto child

You re runnin wild
Watch a while
You see he never smiles
Father gone, alright
