Ghetto

[Verse 1]

There are places in Havana

That remind me of Savannah

Parts of West Virginia

That might as well be Kenya

Parts of New York City

Parts of Mississippi

Parts of Tennessee

Look like another world to me

[Chorus]

Oh, oh oh, Ghetto-o-o-o

Might as well be another country

Barrio-o-o-o

Might as well be another country

When you look around

You live in another country too (too)

[Verse 2]

To be hungry in L.A

Is just like starving in Bombay

Homeless in Morocco

Is a shelter in Chicago

Right around the corner

Just down the road

Right before your eyes

Right under your nose

[Chorus]

Hey, the ghetto-o-o-o

Might as well be another country

Barrio-o-o-o

Might as well be another country

When you look around

You live in another country too (too)

[Verse 3]

Now the dictionary says

That the ghetto is a place

Of minority, and poverty, and over population

We live on this earth together

Ain't no separation

When you're looking down

From outer space

We're just a human race and the world is a

[Chorus]

Ghetto-o-o-o

Listen every place and every country

Barrio-o-o-o

It's in every place and every country

When you look around

Do you see your brother when you

Look around?

It's a small world after all

Look around

You live in another country too
