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
