"Ghetto" lyrics

There are places in Havana
That remind me of Savannah
Parts of West Virginia
That might as well be Kenya
Parts of New York City
Parts of Mississippi
Parts of Tennessee
Look like another world to me

Oh, oh oh. Ghetto-o-o-o
Might as well be another country
Barrio-o-o-o
Might as well be another country
When you look around
You live in another country too (too)

To be hungry in LA
Is just like starving in Bombay
Homeless in Morocco
Is a shelter in Chicago
Right around the corner
Just down the road
Right before your eyes
Right under your nose

Hey, the ghetto-o-o-o
Might as well be another country
Barrio-o-o-o
Might as well be another country
When you look around
You live in another country too (too)

Now the dictionary says
That the ghetto is a place
Of minority, and poverty, and over population
We live on this earth together
Ain't no separation
When you're looking down
From outer space
We're just a human race and the world is a

Ghetto-o-o-o
Listen every place and every country
Barrio-o-o-o
It's in every place and every country
When you look around
Do you see your brother when you
Look around?
It's a small world after all
Look around
You live in another country too

(Ghetto) Jamaica is a ghetto
(Ghetto) Japan is a ghetto
(Ghetto) America's a ghetto
(Ghetto) Slovakia's a ghetto
(Ghetto) South Africa's a ghetto
(Ghetto) Brazil is a ghetto
(Ghetto) Israel is a ghetto
