Well have you ever been down in the ghetto
Have you ever felt that cold wind blow
Well 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

Too many lives they spend across the ocean
Too much money they spend on the moon
Well until they make it right
I hope they never sleep at night
They better make some changes and do it soon

They're gonna ruin the air that we breathe Lord have mercy
They're gonna ruin us all by and by
I'm tellin' all you beware
I don't think they really care
Think they just sit up there and just get high

Well have you ever been down in the ghetto
Have you ever felt that cold wind blow
Well 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

Well 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
ah huh?..
