《Little Ghetto Boy》歌词

[00:00:00] Little Ghetto Boy - John Legend & The Roots

[00:00:02] My grandmother suits was tailor made

[00:00:04] Sundays Mahalia played

[00:00:05] Simple familiar ways

[00:00:06] Like how she kneeled and prayed

[00:00:08] Willin master forgive us

[00:00:10] Our trust pastors had us real afraid

[00:00:12] I never listened yet I still obeyed

[00:00:14] I got to see how Philly played at such an early age

[00:00:16] What my father was into sent him to his early grave

[00:00:19] Then moms started chasin that base like Willie Mays

[00:00:22] My childhood was all of 40 nights and 40 days

[00:00:25] Trouble was my ball and chain

[00:00:26] Shorties would call me names

[00:00:28] Humble beginnings but a star is what it all became

[00:00:30] My journey from a dirty hallway to the Hall of Fame

[00:00:33] Music my therapeutic way to cope with all this pain

[00:00:36] Was headed for the drain

[00:00:37] Soakin before the rainwater came

[00:00:39] And chaos into the order came

[00:00:41] I started doin what I'm 'sposed to do in life

[00:00:44] Tryin to move out of the dark

[00:00:45] And closer to the light

[00:00:47] They say if you get a chance to do it

[00:00:48] Overdo it right
