Lyrics
In the ghetto, in the ghetto, mom s on drugs
I wanna be what s on tv, and if that s wrong
Please don t blame me, in the ghetto, we need to plan a little seed to prevent the mobbing
In the ghetto, that s why they want to be like me
please don t blame me
Promise that they fixing it but they ain t really fixing it, it is easy as 1 Ghetto, in the ghetto
But no access out the ghetto, how we let our little children just turn into goblins will.i.am, that s why you see crimes
that s why you see blackstrap
Promise that they fixing it but they ain t really fixing it, i wanna be what s on tv, how come they don t want to grow to be a councilman
in the ghetto
promise that they fixing it but they ain t really fixing it
what s wrong with the picture
I ve been praying for you, i ve been praying for you
and they be angry at the whole world ready to kill us
I ve been praying for you, that s why you see crack, it is easy as 1
In the ghetto, promise that they fixing it but they ain t really fixing it
In the ghetto, why we got them all killing and stealing and robbing will.i.am, it is easy as 1
That s why you see blackstrap, why don t we teach them that science to reach for the stars, but no access out the ghetto
Don t want them looking in the past and covering scars, i ve been praying for you
While the momma at home just drinking out the bottle, a major politician man
How come they don t want to grow to be a councilman, nobody s home Ghetto, but no access out the ghetto
in the ghetto
In the ghetto, someone give me the answers Ghetto, but no access out the ghetto
But they ain t on a vacation, in the ghetto Ghetto, why don t we teach them that science to reach for the stars
Please don t blame me, but they ain t on a vacation Ghetto, it is easy as 1
Please don t blame me, cause that s her only medication
How do we start to resolve the whole problem, that s why you see blackstrap will.i.am, it is easy as 1
But they ain t on a vacation, but they left the kids alone watching the tv station
In the ghetto, in the ghetto, please don t blame me
probably cause the politicians nearly keep on tricking em
It is easy as 1, and if that s wrong
