[Verse 1]
Walking down the street
Smoggy-eyed
Looking at the sky
Starry-eyed
Search for the place
Weary-eyed
Crying in the night
Teary-eyed
[Chorus]
Don't you know
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Chorus]
Don't you know
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Verse 2]
Wonder when I'll find
Paradise
Somewhere there's a home
Sweet and nice
Wonder if I'll find
Happiness
Never give it up
Now I guess
[Chorus]
Don't you know
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Chorus]
Don't you know, yeah
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Chorus]
Don't you know
That it's true
That for me
And for you
The world is a ghetto
[Chorus]
Don't you know (don't you know)
That it's true (that it's true)
That for me (that for me)
And for you (and for you)
The world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto
[Ad Lib]
(Alright I see you, talk to me)
The world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto, yeah
I said the world is a ghetto, baby
I'm walking down the street
Smoggy-eyed, starry-eyed, weary-eyed, teary-eyed
But the world is a ghetto
But the world is a ghetto
The world is a ghetto
[Fade]

The World Is A Ghetto was produced by Larry Klein.
Kandace Springs released The World Is A Ghetto on Fri Jun 24 2016.
That’s Larry Klein. I heard the song once or twice before. War has the best version all day. I have respect for that. Prince got on my case about this and said, “Why would you cover their song?” My version is more like Erykah Badu meets Nina Simone.
