Children of the ghetto
Running wild and free
In a concrete jungle
Filled with misery
There's no inspiration
To brighten up their day
So out of desperation
I would like to say

Children of the ghetto
Keep your head, to the sky
Look up, to the sky

Children of the ghetto
Always in the news
Toughness is their motto
And bitter are their views
Deep inside the ghetto
There's a unity
That cancels out the sorrow
And the misery

Children of the ghetto
Keep your head, to the sky
Look up, to the sky

The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto
The ghetto, talkin' 'bout the ghetto

There's no inspiration
To brighten up their day
So out of desperation
I would like to say

Children of the ghetto
Keep your head, to the sky.
