Lyrics
0:17When I was 17 I ran away from home
0:22And from everything I had ever known
0:26I was sick and tired living in a town
0:31Filled with narrow minds and hate
0:37They used to laugh at me and children called me names
0:41I would run and hide feeling so ashamed
0:46Just for being born I was just a boy
0:50Punished for a crime that was not mine
0:57Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
1:04Oh baby life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
1:14No one tried to understand
1:18Papa did the best a man could do
1:30A child's reality is paid for by his folks
1:35Fancy fairy tales are bought and sold by those
1:39Who can well afford time to make believe
1:43Childhood dreams can still come true ahaah
1:49So I've been wandering traveling all around
1:54Guess it aint my style to live in just one town
1:58Still I'll never know why a child is blamed
2:03Ridiculed and shamed we're all the same
2:09Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
2:16I'm gonna win this battle
2:17Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child yeah
2:43Ooh yeah
2:52Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
2:59Oh baby life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
3:08Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
3:16Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
3:24Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
3:32Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child
3:40Life aint so easy when you're
When I was 17 I ran away from home And from everything I had ever known I was sick and tired living in a town Filled with narrow minds and hate They used to laugh at me and children called me names I would run and hide feeling so ashamed Just for being born I was just a boy Punished for a crime that was not mine Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child Oh baby life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child No one tried to understand Papa did the best a man could do A child's reality is paid for by his folks Fancy fairy tales are bought and sold by those Who can well afford time to make believe Childhood dreams can still come true ahaah So I've been wandering traveling all around Guess it aint my style to live in just one town Still I'll never know why a child is blamed Ridiculed and shamed we're all the same Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child I'm gonna win this battle Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child yeah Ooh yeah Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child Oh baby life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child Life aint so easy when you're a ghetto child Life aint so easy when you're
