Ghetto Clown

I'm a Ghetto clown, a fool for the cash/ Juggling dreams while the world does a dash/ If laughter's a crime, then call me a crook/ I'll steal your frown with a single look/ They call me a lamb, said, Take the fall/ But I laughed so hard, I shook the hall/ Crucify me? Sure, but here's the thing/ I'll go out laughing, like a jester king/ Got kicked out of Hell, the Devil's in tears/ He said, Man, your jokes are my worst fears/ Now I roam the streets, a clown on the run/ Turning gloom to giggles, one by one/ In the Ghetto, I'm the eternal jest/ A clown with a flair, I'm the very best/ Life's a circus, and I'm the main act/ a fool for eternity, that's a fact/ My punchlines hit harder than life's cruel blows/ I'm the comic relief when the tension grows/ So laugh with me, or laugh at me/ Either way, I'm your comedy spree/ So here I stand, a clown in the fray/ Turning dark nights into brighter days/ If life's a joke, then I'm the punchline/ A Ghetto clown, forever divine/
