Shontelle - Ghetto Lullabye

LRC by lzh ,from jiangxi pingxiang

Hush little shorty don’t you cry

I’ll sing you a ghetto lullaby

When things get rough, let me dry your eyes

Give you the strength, hold your head up high

When this cold world never do you right

I’ll hold you down through the darkest nights

So ease your head, let me ease your mind

I’ll sing you a ghetto lullaby

Where shall I begin

To teach you what could take a lifetime to learn

No lies will be told,

with each day the truth will unfold

Picture if you can,

a mountain so high that you can’t see the top

An ocean so wide,

you can see where it meets the sky

Well that’s how far you’re gonna have to go

Hold on tight shorty don’t let go

Those rain will fall and those winds will blow

Out in those streets it can be so cold

Hush little shorty don’t you cry

I’ll sing you a ghetto lullaby

When things get rough, let me dry your eyes

Give you the strength, hold your head up high

When this cold world never do you right

I’ll hold you down through the darkest nights

So ease your head, let me ease your mind

I’ll sing you a ghetto lullaby

I’m looking at you,

A picture of innocence framed within trust

Each river you cross,

filled with the unknown not so treasureous

All envy and greed,

Will rip you apart and leave you to bleed

An incessantly cut you up with no trace of mercy

No backstabbers and informers

Hate’s a disease so let me warn ya

Sharks in the ocean will raise their teeth

Lets all run fast when you see

Hush little shorty don’t you cry

I’ll sing you a ghetto lullaby

When things get rough, let me dry your eyes

Give you the strength, hold your head up high

When this cold world never do you right

I’ll hold you down through the darkest nights

So ease your head, let me ease your mind

I’ll sing you a ghetto lullaby

Ooooohhh

Dry your eyes don’t you cry

Not tonight

If you just try you will find your sunrise

Hush little shorty don’t you cry

I’ll sing you a ghetto lullaby

When things get rough, let me dry your eyes

Give you the strength, hold your head up high

When this cold world never do you right

I’ll hold you down through the darkest nights

So ease your head, let me ease your mind

I’ll sing you a ghetto lullab
