Lyrics
Get The Ghetto Off Your Mind
Music and Words by Rosie Gaines, Dana
Bailey, Frances Jules.
little
sister learn how to stay true
grow
your eyes bigger than the streets around you
you got
to read between the lines
get the
ghetto off your mind
little
brother climb the highest building
so you
know so many places you can go
don't
want you running out of time
get the
ghetto off your mind
not one
day goes by when the bullets don't fly
who
declared war what the hell are we fighting for
life is
leaving you behind
get the
ghetto off your mind
your
friends wanna live by the gun
when
they fall dead, tell me, who has won
I'm
gonna tell ya jus one time
get the
ghetto off your mind
the
streets are always calling your name
inside
something's beggin for a change
listen
only to conscious voices
we are
the sum of all our choices
strength and hope you've got to find
I'm
gonna tell ya jus this one time
get the
ghetto off your mind
find
other worlds of the soul and mind
where
you can belong you can be strong
behind
windows with bars and doors double locked
they're
bakin their brains with burning rocks
kids
learning songs about rights and wrongs
I wish
you could just be a child for a while
it's a
state of mind
