Ghetto Boy 
You're my life 
And there's so much for you to protect and to say 
And baby boy 
Don't hit your wife 
Cause your kids may grow up someday to be this way 
You don't know 
What you may be 
To some boy 
In society 
There's a secret to why 
You must survive 
So listen to what we say 
Cause this type of shit happens everyday 

Go for yours cause dreams come true 
And this is the message we bring to you 
Hey now hey now now 
Hey now hey now now 
No matter what teachers say to you 
Ghetto Children are beautiful 
Say hey now hey now now 
Hey now hey now now 

Baby Girl 
You're my life 
It's important that you smile 
And never cry 
Study math and your sciences 
Maybe you'll figure why we subtract and multiply 
You don't know 
What you may be 
To some girl 
In society 
There's a secret to why we must survive 
So listen to what we say 
Cause this type of shit happens everyday 

Go for yours cause dreams come true 
And this is the message we bring to you 
Hey now hey now now 
Hey now hey now now 
No matter what teachers say to you 
Ghetto Children are beautiful 
Say hey now hey now now 
Hey now hey now now 

Crack Town 
Ghetto in the city 
Buildings are abandoned 
The girls are still pretty 
A child looks in the mirror 
Here to see my life clearer 
All I see is ghetto keys to this jet black carrera 
Of course 911 don't mean help
