Ghetto love

Ghetto love 
All we need is love 
All we need to share is peace 
All we live for is for happiness 
We don’t want no killers in our community 
Africa youth please be wise 
Tell the gun man to go home 
Drop all the colours of wars 
Burn down the flags of division 
There is no gain in wars 
Killing each other won’t get us no where 
So tell the gunmen to change their ways 
Our children needs their fathers alive 
Our girls needs their mother healthy and sound 
So stop the fires 
Safe the bullets of hatred and give love a chance in the ghetto 




Ghetto love 
There is no dignity 
When you slaughter your own brother 
There is no gain when you kill your own 
We can’t keep fighting for what exactly 
One man up another man down 
One man alive another man dead 
Is this all we can offer to our selves 
I ask you ghetto youth 
Are we this ignorant to the call of nature 
so again tell the gunmen to change their ways 
The time for change is now or never 
We need a safe world 
A world with out fears of dangers 
A world were we can call our own 
Please be good to one another 
I plead to you African ghetto youth 
Love yourselves leave the killings 
Safe your life’s from the dangers of losing your love ones 
We are the solution to our healing 
So let love flow from great to small 
Let love fellow from parent to their kids 
Let love flow from the strong to the weak 
Let love flow all over the ghetto streets
Let love flow from the leaders to it citizens 
All we need is love 
oh ghetto youth 
there is no other way
This is a call of peace
