Guns In The Ghetto Lyrics

    Daddy don't go out tonight
    Just stay home till morning light
    Me and mamma don't feel right
    Please hold us tight

    Daddy why did you go to work
    When you know just how much we love you so
    Please come back tomorrow

    Chorus

    They're giving out guns in the ghetto
    They're saying they will set you free
    One day I'll have children of my own
    But I'm afraid they won't have me

    Mamma, is Daddy home
    Why are you crying all alone
    Grandma's tears have turned to stone
    And I'm all alone

    Mamma isn't daddy back
    I'm getting scared and that's a fact
    Why are we all dressed like that
    All in black

    Repeat Chorus

    Daddy don't go out tonight
    Please stay home till morning light
    Me and mamma don't feel right
    Please hold us tight

    Daddy why did you go to work
    When you know just how much we love you so
    Please come back tomorrow

    Repeat Chorus

    Mamma, is Daddy home
    Why are you crying all alone
    Grandma's tears have turned to stone
    And I'm chilled to the bone

    Mamma isn't daddy back
    I'm getting scared and that's a fact
    Why are we all dressed like that
    All in black

    Repeat chorus four times
