Chorus:
E
Have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
B
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
E
If you don't know what I mean,
A
Won't you stand up and scream?
E B E
'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know.
E
Too many lives they've spent across the ocean.
B
Too much money been spent upon the moon.
E
Well, until they make it right
A
I hope they never sleep at night
E B
They better make some changes
E
And do it soon.
Well they're going ruin the air that we breathe
Lord have mercy
They're gonna ruin us all, by and by
I'm telling all you beware
I don't think they really care
I think they just sit up there
And just get high
Chorus:
Have you ever lived down in that ghetto
And 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 going 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 going on that you don't know
Tell it
Tell it, tell it
Things going on
