Ghetto Lullabye

[Chorus] 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 Enough 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 [Chorus] 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 Enough 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 [Chorus] Oh Dry your eyes don't you cry Not tonight If you just try you will find your sunrise [Chorus] --- Ghetto Lullabye - Shontelle
