Day 26 Ghetto Child-Spinners 1973

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

Chorus: Life ain’t so easy

When you’re a ghetto child

Life ain’t 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

So I’ve been wandering

Traveling all around

Guess it ain’t 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
