(She is, she's my ghetto queen, for real)
She speaks without saying a word
Let the children go, let the children go
(For real, for real)
With some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage
She screams without being heard
(She's my ghetto queen)
Living in nightmare city
Let the children go, let the children go
With some kind of crazy hope in these days of rage
She screams without being heard
Here come the crawling politicians on their ghetto safari
In this urban battle field, she knows no barricade
Let the children go, let the children go
Let the children go, let the children go
(Nobody knows the trouble she's seen)
(She's my ghetto queen, for real)
Let the children go, let the children go
Living in nightmare city
In this urban battle field she lives in smoke and haze
Let the children go, let the children go
Let the children go, let the children go
Living in nightmare city, living in nightmare city
Let the children go, let the children go
(Nobody knows the trouble she's seen)
(She's my ghetto queen, for real)
(Nobody knows the trouble I see)
She speaks without saying a word
Let the children go, let the children go
(She is, she's my ghetto queen)
Living in nightmare city
Living in nightmare city
(Nobody knows the trouble she's seen)
Let the children go, let the children go
Living in nightmare city, living in nightmare city
Let the children go, let the children go
Let the children go, let the children go
(She is, she's my ghetto queen, for real)
Let the children go, let the children go
In this brutal system that knows no pity
Let the children go, let the children go
Let the children go, let the children go
(She is, she's my ghetto queen, for real)
