Little Ghetto Boy (Live Version) Donny Hathaway

[Intro]
Here's a little tune that will probably be my next record, I hope
It's entitled "Little Ghetto Boy"
I hope you like it
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Little ghetto boy
Playing in the ghetto street
What you gonna do when you grow up
And have to face responsibility?
Will you spend your days and nights in a pool room?
Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood?
Little ghetto boy

[Bridge]
You already know how rough life can be
'Cause you've seen so much pain and misery

[Verse 2]
Little ghetto boy
Your daddy was blown away
He robbed that grocery store
Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day?
All of your young life
You've seen such misery and pain
The world is a cruel place
And it ain't gonna change
You're so young
And you've got so far to go
But I don't think you'll reach your goal, young man
Hanging by the pool room door
Look out, y'all
