Have you ever lived down in the ghetto

Have you ever felt the cold wind blow

If you don't know what I mean

Won't you stand up and scream

'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know



Ask them why they spend lives across the ocean

Ask them why they spend millions on the moon

Well, untill they make things right

Lots of people gonna be uptight

They better make some changes pretty soon



They gonna ruin the air that we breathe y'all

They gonna ruin us all bye and bye

Telling all you beware

I don't think they really care

Think they just sit up there and just get high



Have you ever lived down in the ghetto

Have you ever felt the cold wind blow

If you don't know what I mean

Won't you stand up and scream

'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know



If you don't know what I mean

Won't you stand up and scream

'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know
