Ghetto Child Lyrics - Shemekia Copeland

Little girl standin' on the corner 

Somebody please won't you lend a hand 

I'm just the ghetto child 

In this so-called, in this so-called free land 

Somebody, somebody somewhere 

Somebody please won't you give a dime 

My mother she's sick, in the bed almost dying 

And I ain't seen, I ain't seen my daddy in a long time 

Now that this is the part that move me so much right here 

She said I know, I knoooooow I oughta be in school 

But I went to school one mornin' 

and the teacher she told me 

When you come back child, have on some shoes
