Lyrics
0:13Hush little shorty don't you cry
0:15I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
0:17When things get rough let me dry your eyes
0:20Give you the strength hold your head up high
0:22When this cold world never do you right
0:25I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
0:27So ease your head let me ease your mind
0:30I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
0:33Where shall I begin
0:35To teach you what could take a lifetime to learn
0:38No lies will be told
0:40With each day the truth will unfold
0:42Picture if you can
0:44A mountain so high that you can't see the top
0:48An ocean so wide
0:50You can see where it meets the sky
0:52Well that's how far you're gonna have to go
0:55Hold on tight shorty don't let go
0:57Those rain will fall and those winds will blow
1:00Out in those streets it can be so cold
1:03Hush little shorty don't you cry
1:05I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
1:07When things get rough let me dry your eyes
1:10Give you the strength hold your head up high
1:12When this cold world never do you right
1:15I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
1:17So ease your head let me ease your mind
1:20I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
1:22I'm looking at you
1:25A picture of innocence framed within trust
1:28Each river you cross
1:30Filled with the unknown not so treasureous
1:32All envy and greed
1:35Will rip you apart and leave you to bleed
1:38An incessantly cut you up with no trace of mercy
1:43No backstabbers and informers
1:45Hate's a disease so let me warn ya
1:47Sharks in the ocean will raise their teeth
1:50Lets all run fast when you see
1:53Hush little shorty don't you cry
1:55I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
1:57When things get rough let me dry your eyes
2:00Give you the strength hold your head up high
2:02When this cold world never do you right
2:05I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
2:07So ease your head let me ease your mind
2:10I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
2:23Ooooohhh
2:24Dry your eyes don't you cry
2:28Not tonight
2:33If you just try you will find your sunrise
2:45Hush little shorty don't you cry
2:47I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
2:50When things get rough let me dry your eyes
2:52Give you the strength hold your head up high
2:55When this cold world never do you right
2:57I'll hold you down through the darkest nights
3:00So ease your head let me ease your mind
3:02I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
Hush little shorty don't you cry I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby When things get rough let me dry your eyes Give you the strength hold your head up high When this cold world never do you right I'll hold you down through the darkest nights So ease your head let me ease your mind I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby Where shall I begin To teach you what could take a lifetime to learn No lies will be told With each day the truth will unfold Picture if you can A mountain so high that you can't see the top An ocean so wide You can see where it meets the sky Well that's how far you're gonna have to go Hold on tight shorty don't let go Those rain will fall and those winds will blow Out in those streets it can be so cold Hush little shorty don't you cry I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby When things get rough let me dry your eyes Give you the strength hold your head up high When this cold world never do you right I'll hold you down through the darkest nights So ease your head let me ease your mind I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby I'm looking at you A picture of innocence framed within trust Each river you cross Filled with the unknown not so treasureous All envy and greed Will rip you apart and leave you to bleed An incessantly cut you up with no trace of mercy No backstabbers and informers Hate's a disease so let me warn ya Sharks in the ocean will raise their teeth Lets all run fast when you see Hush little shorty don't you cry I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby When things get rough let me dry your eyes Give you the strength hold your head up high When this cold world never do you right I'll hold you down through the darkest nights So ease your head let me ease your mind I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby Ooooohhh Dry your eyes don't you cry Not tonight If you just try you will find your sunrise Hush little shorty don't you cry I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby When things get rough let me dry your eyes Give you the strength hold your head up high When this cold world never do you right I'll hold you down through the darkest nights So ease your head let me ease your mind I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
