Ghetto Day
Sweatin' on a summer day,
A scarf wrapped tight around my head
In the fire hydrant children play,
Sister frying chicken in the kitchen
No I'm not doin', I'm not doin' nothin' today
& brother say somethin' bout a "40" on a summer afternoon
& grandma say the Lord, He gonna make everything,
He gonna make it alright
chorus
And it's a bright sunny ghetto day,
It's a bright sunny ghetto day
Sometimes the sun washes all the troubles away
On a bright sunny ghetto day
And I can hear the old men sing
Tra la la, la la la, tra la la, la la la
Tra la la means I luv you
In the back room baby starts to scream,
I'm makin' kool-aid in the sink
Girl don't you put pork in my greens,
Rent's late again so it seems
Somethin' good, somethin' good's gonna come my way
& brother say somethin' bout a "40" on a summer afternoon
& grandma say the Lord, gonna make everything, He gonna
Make it alright
