Ghetto Child - The Spinners/Dinah Washington

Filled with narrow minds and hate
They used to laugh at me and children called me names

Oh baby life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child

Fancy fairy tales are bought and sold by those
Who can well afford time to make believe
Childhood dreams can still come true ahaah
So I've been wandering traveling all around
Guess it aint my style to live in just one town
Still I'll never know why a child is blamed
Ridiculed and shamed we're all the same
Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
I'm gonna win this battle
Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child yeah
Ooh yeah
Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
Oh baby life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
Life aint so easy when you're
