Ghetto Lullabye
Hush little shorty dont you cry
Ill sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough, let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
Ill hold you down through the darkest nights
So ease your head, let me ease your mind
Ill sing you a ghetto lullaby
Where shall I begin
To teach you what could take a lifetime to learn
No lies will be told,
with each day the truth will unfold
Picture if you can,
a mountain so high that you cant see the top
An ocean so wide,
you can see where it meets the sky
Well thats how far youre gonna have to go
Hold on tight shorty dont let go
Those rain will fall and those winds will blow
Out in those streets it can be so cold
Hush little shorty dont you cry
Ill sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough, let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
Ill hold you down through the darkest nights
So ease your head, let me ease your mind
Ill sing you a ghetto lullaby
Im looking at you,
A picture of innocence framed within trust
Each river you cross,
filled with the unknown not so treasureous
All envy and greed,
Will rip you apart and leave you to bleed
An incessantly cut you up with no trace of mercy
No backstabbers and informers
Hates a disease so let me warn ya
Sharks inthe ocean will raise their teeth
Lets all run fast when you see
Hush little shorty dont you cry
Ill sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough, let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
Ill hold you down through the darkest nights
So ease your head, let me ease your mind
Ill sing you a ghetto lullaby
Ooooohhh
Dry your eyes dont you cry
Not tonight
If you just try you will find your sunrise
Hush little shorty dont you cry
Ill sing you a ghetto lullaby
When things get rough, let me dry your eyes
Give you the strength, hold your head up high
When this cold world never do you right
Ill hold you down through the darkest nights
So ease your head, let me ease your mind
Ill sing you a ghetto lullaby
