little
[A] [F#m] child
[Bm] [F#m] Running wild,
[A] [Bm] watch him while, you'll see [F#m] he never smiles.
Broken home,
[Bm] [F#m] father gone,
[A] [Bm] mama tired, so is [F#m] all alone.
Kinda sad, kinda mad, [Bm] ghetto child, thinking [F#m] he's been had.
In the back of his mind he said, didn't have to be, you didn't have to love for me, while I was just a nothing child.
Why couldn't they just let me be, let me be, let me be, let me be.
[Bm] [F#m]
[Bm]
[F#m] One room shack, [Bm] on the [F#m] alley back,
[A] [Bm] control I'm told,
[F#m] from across the track.
Where is the mayor, [Bm] who'll [F#m] make all things fair, he [Bm] lives outside, and I [F#m] polluted air.
And I didn't have to be here, you didn't have to love for me, while I was just a nothing child.
Why couldn't they just let me be, let me be, let me be, let me be.
[C#m] [F#m]
[Bm] [E]
[F#m]
I got a Jones, running through my bones, I'm [Bm] sorry son, [F#m] but all your money's gone.
Painful rip, in [Bm] my [F#m] upper hip, I guess [Bm] it's time, to take [F#m] another trip.
Don't care now what nobody say, I gotta take the pain away.
It's getting worse day by day, and all my life has been this way.
Can't reason with the pressure man, finances all that he understand.
You junkie mama cries, you know, would rip or burn, I love her so, love her so.
