Could've been born in the ghetto
ย
Could've been born in the ghetto
ย
Well, life is uncertain, ain't got all I need
But I can walk the streets, feel unafraid of greed
Tell the pusher man to just pass me by
Ain't got nothing to gain, always high, why?
Could've been born in the ghetto
Could've laid dead in the gutter
Could've been born in the ghetto
Could've laid dead like my brother
ย
God bless the rich, God bless the poor
No mention for the man who ain't no more
No bullet for my head 'cause I don't have to steal
No bullet for my head 'cause I don't have to deal, why?
Could've been born in the ghetto
Could've laid dead in the gutter
Could've been born in the ghetto
Could've laid dead like my brother
ย
Could've been born in the ghetto
ย
Could've been born in the ghetto
ย
Could've had nothing to live for
But the bullet from my brother's gun
Could've been another born for destruction
Could've been born in the ghetto
Could've laid dead like my brother
Could've been born in the ghetto
I could've laid dead like my brother
ย
Could've been born in the ghetto
Could've been born in the ghetto
Could've been born in the ghetto
Could've been born in the ghetto
