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