Ghetto Child

Ghetto child 
We dont need alot to be happy 
We are not who you think we are
We are not poor 
We are the happiness people in the world
Come to Africa and dance to the sun 
If you are lonely
Despite the ignorance
We are not perfect 
We dont want to be either 
We just want to live and
let the world Breath 


Ghetto child 
We can make it 
Despite the failed leadership
In Africa
Am happy the world 
Knows we exist 
Am glad am a child of the  universe 
Growth is limitless for the willing mind
Our mind is invisible 
Despite our visible ghetto
Am happy the world knows 
We exist 
Am glad am a child of the universe
