Ghetto Day Songtext
von Crystal Waters

Sweatin′ on a summer day,
A scarf wrapped tight around my head
In the fire hydrant children play,
Sister frying chicken in the kitchen
No I'm not doin′, I'm not doin' nothin′ today
& brother say somethin′ bout a "40" on a summer afternoon
& grandma say the Lord, He gonna make everything,
He gonna make it alright

And it's a bright sunny ghetto day,
It′s a bright sunny ghetto day
Sometimes the sun washes all the troubles away
On a bright sunny ghetto day


And I can hear the old men sing
Tra la la, la la la, tra la la, la la la
Tra la la means I luv you
In the back room baby starts to scream,
I'm makin′ kool-aid in the sink
Girl don't you put pork in my greens,
Rent′s late again so it seems
Somethin' good, somethin' good′s gonna come my way
& brother say somethin′ bout a "40" on a summer afternoon
& grandma say the Lord, gonna make everything,
He gonna make it alright

And it's a bright sunny ghetto day,
It′s a bright sunny ghetto day
Sometimes the sun washes all the troubles away
On a bright sunny ghetto day
