My momma and daddy weep because Can't find no food to eat The children you know they just can't sleep Because so many hungry mouths to feed You get up every day And you hear the poor people cries Some cries for hunger and, some cries for thirst Some cries because, well, things are getting worse Things are getting worse It's really getting worse
Living in the ghetto, is really hard to do But I'm trying my best, yes, to push on through Push on through
I don't wanna be the black sheep, in my family
