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
|
Rest 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
|
Nuff 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 rains 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 in the darkest nights
|
So rest 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
|
Nuff backstabbers and informers
|
Hate and 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 in the darkest nights
|
Rest you 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 in the darkest nights
|
Rest your head let me ease your mind
|
I'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
|
