Little Child Runnin' Wild

Little child
Runnin' wild
Watch a while
You see he never smilesBroken home
Father gone
Mama tired
So he's all aloneKind of sad
Kind of mad
Ghetto child
Thinkin' he's been hadIn the back of his mind he's sayin'
Didn't have to be here
You didn't have to love for me
While I was just a nothin' child
Why couldn't they just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me beOne room shack
On the alley-back
Control, I'm told
From across the trackWhere is the mayor
Who'll make all things fair
He lives outside
Our polluted airAnd I didn't have to be here
You didn't have to love for me
While I was just a nothin' child
Why couldn't they just let me be
Let me be, let me be, let me beI got a Jones
Runnin' through ma' bones
I'm sorry son
All your money's gonePainful rip
In my upper hip
I guess it's time
To take another tripDon't care what nobody say
I got to take the pain away
It's getting worser day by day
And all my life has been this wayCan't reason with the pusher man
Finance is all that he understands
You junkie, mama cries, you know
Would rip her, but I love her so
Love her so, now
