Ghetto - India.Arie

There are places in Havana

That remind me of Savanna

Parts of West Virginia

That might as well be Kenya

Parts of New York City

Parts of Mississippi, parts of Miami

Parts of Tennessee

Look like another world to me Ghetto, might as well be another country

Hurry oh oh oh, might as well be another country

When you look around

You live in another country too, too, too

To be hungry in LA

Is just like starving in Bombay

Homeless in Morocco

Is a shelter in Chicago

Right around the corner

Just down the road

Right before your eyes

Right under your nose, hey

Ghetto, might as well be another country

Hurry oh oh oh, might as well be another country

Look around

You live in another country too, too

Now the dictionary says

That the ghetto is a place

Of minority and poverty

And over population

We live on this earth together

Ain’t no separation

When you’re looking down from outer space

We’re just a human race and the world is a Ghetto, it’s in every place and every country

Hurry oh oh oh, it’s in every place and every country

Look around

Do you see your brother when you

Look around?

It’s a small world after all

Look around

You live in another country too
