Woman Of The Ghetto-群星

I want you to get together Put your hands together one time And help me pray for one sinner from the Ghetto Oh Lord we call him Harold Jones and he plays drums Would you do it for me one time Yeah they appreciate you Harold Jones And playin' bass Lord You know that he's a sinner I saw his stash, oh Lord, Lord, Lord would you please Put a blessin' on brother Ed Boyer We appreciate ya too (Hit that note again let me see if it's still right) And oh Lord from the Ghetto From a one hundred thousand dollar house damned Ghetto! Lord you don't need to bless him no more Please get together for Mr. George Gaftcy I was born, raised in a Ghetto I was born and raised in a Ghetto I'm a woman of the Ghetto Won't ya listen, won't ya listen, won't ya listen to me Babe, just later How do ya raise your kids in a Ghetto How do ya raise your kids in a Ghetto Do you feed one child and starve another Won't you tell me legislator I'm short, true I know that my eyes ain't blue But you see I'm a woman from the Ghetto I'm brown, green, black that is me Yeah I'm a woman of the Ghetto How does your heart feel late at night How does your heart feel late at night Does it beat with shame And does it beat with pride And won't ya tell me, tell me leg is lator Puts me in the mind of Commin' cross the water In a boar Chained and tied, together Except no, no they're really not men and women Just chain 'em up, tie 'em up Chain 'em up, tie 'em up Chain 'em up, tie 'em up Work! Work! Work! That's where the movement came from Said Lord, Lord My children learn just the same as yours As long as nobody tries to close the door They cry with pain When the night cuts in They even close their eyes When they wanna sleep Got peace you say in all that you ask But self respect is our temporary task Your baby's standing up there in your Ivory Tower 16 stories stories tall I know that you've checked out at least one Ghetto, but I wonder have you lived there at all Think you'll find no answer Harlem tells me Chicago tells me Washington got some too I have have been upon the mountain top
