Could Have Been Born In The Ghetto - Hot Chocolate

Life is uncertain, ain’t got all I need

But I can walk the streets, feel unafraid of greed

Tell the pusha man to just pass me by

Ain’t got nothin' to gain, always high

I could have been born in the ghetto

Could’ve laid dead the ghetto

Could have been born in the ghetto

Could’ve laid dead like my brother

God bless the rich, God bless the poor

No mention for the man that ain’t no more

No bullet for my head, 'cause I ain’t got to steal

No bullet for my head, 'cause I ain’t got to deal

I could have been born in the ghetto

Could’ve laid dead the ghetto

Could have been born in the ghetto

Could’ve laid dead like my brother

Could have been born in the ghetto

Could have been born in the ghetto

Could have had nothing to live for

But the bullet from my brother’s gun

Could have been another born for destruction

Could have been born in the ghetto

Could’ve laid dead like my brother

Could have been born in the ghetto

Could’ve laid dead like my brother

Could have been born in the ghetto

Could have been born in the ghetto

Could have been born in the ghetto

Could have been born in the ghetto
