Lullaby

Hush little shorty don't you cryI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyWhen things get rough, let me dry your eyesGive you the strength, hold your head up highWhen this cold world never do you rightI'll hold you down in the darkest nightsLet me ease your mindI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyWhere shall I begin to teach youWhat could take a lifetime to learnNo lies will be told, with each dayThe truth will unfoldPicture if you can, a mountain so highThat you can't see the topAn ocean so wide, you can see where it meets the skyWell that's how far you're gonna have to goHold on tight shorty don't let goThose rain will fall and those winds will blowOut in those streets it can be so coldHush little shorty don't you cryI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyWhen things get rough, let me dry your eyesGive you the strength, hold your head up highWhen this cold world never do you rightI'll hold you down in the darkest nightsLet me ease your mindI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyI'm looking at youA picture of innocence framed within trustEach river you crossFilled with the unknown not so treasureousAll envy and greedWill rip you apart and leave you to bleedAn incessantly cut you up with no trace of mercyNo backstabbers and informersHate's a disease so let me warn yaSharks in the ocean will raise their teethLets all run fast when you seeHush little shorty don't you cryI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyWhen things get rough, let me dry your eyesGive you the strength, hold your head up highWhen this cold world never do you rightI'll hold you down in the darkest nightsLet me ease your mindI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyOohDry your eyes don't you cryNot tonightIf you just try you will find your sunriseHush little shorty don't you cryI'll sing you a ghetto lullabyWhen things get rough, let me dry your eyesGive you the strength, hold your head up highWhen this cold world never do you rightI'll hold you down in the darkest nightsLet me ease your mindI'll sing you a ghetto lullaby
