LYRIC

[Verse 1] We need a contribution
To help us find a solution
Barely staying alive
In all this confusion
I never took a cent
That wasn't mine to keep
Worked my fingers to the bone
Dug myself in way too deep, yeah

[Pre-Chorus] Don't define yourself by what you are
Define yourself by what you love

[Chorus] I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Fighting for a few home truths
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
There's war in my neighborhood
Hey, I shoulda known better
Than to trust in the wisdom of fools
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Won't somebody please call a truce?

[Verse 2] Now everything's different
And nothing's really changed
People trying to move on up
But they just get rearranged, yeah
They'll give you what you want
Repossess all you own
I don't know where I live
But I wanna go home, yeah

[Pre-Chorus] Don't define yourself by what you are
Define yourself by what you love

[Chorus] I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Fighting for a few home truths
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
There's war in my neighborhood
Hey, I shoulda known better
Than to trust in the wisdom of fools
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
Won't somebody please call a truce?

[Bridge] What it all comes down to
Is you don't really care
I bet you sleep like a baby
While we lie awake saying our prayers (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus] Don't define yourself by what you are
Define yourself by what you love

[Chorus] I'm a soldier in the ghetto (Soldier in the ghetto)
Fighting for a few home truths
I'm a soldier in the ghetto (Soldier in the ghetto)
There's war in my neighborhood
Hey, I shoulda known better (Shoulda known better)
Than to trust in the wisdom of fools
I'm a soldier in the ghetto (Soldier in the ghetto)
Won't somebody please call a truce?

[Outro] I'm a soldier in the ghetto
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
I'm a soldier in the ghetto
