As the snow flies in the cold morning breeze
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
But he earns his room for a price
Cause there's one thing that you don't need
Another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
But if you all don't understand
A child needs a helping hand
Maybe a hero, you'll be a man someday
Take a look at you and me
Let it go, let it go
Till we see it in our heads and look the other way
Let it go, let it go
While the world turns
Let it go, let it go maybe
Get a hungry leg up with a runny nose
Let it go, let it go
The eyes are on the street as the cold wind blows
Let it go, let it go
He needs a leg up with a runny nose
Let it go, let it go
Eyes in the street as the cold wind blows
Let it go, the hunger burns
Night terror on the streets at night
Let it burn, he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
He gets a gun, and steals a car
He runs but he don't get far
He hurts, his mama cries
As a crowd gather round this young man
Been stomped on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
