On the ghetto side of town
Ask me and I'll tell you that
Cause I'm just a little ghetto
But I refuse to be a loser
Refuse to be just another man
Got dreams and aspirations
And a burning desire to work and do it
Hey, hey, I'm gonna shine
Ain't nobody gonna break my stride
Don't tell me what I cannot do
Cause that is not up to you, no, no
Ain't gonna cry, gonna reach for the sky
gonna rise and I'll shine
There ain't gonna stop this little get -up boy
I can't hold back this little get -up boy
So make some way for the get -up boy
Maybe you don't understand, so
You're trying to figure out who I am
I'm just a little kid, a boy from nowhere
and my greatest teacher is my past
From a child to a man, I grew up in fast
I'm just a little kid, a boy from nowhere
And I was born and raised in the butter
And I've been through the roughest
Through the pain and sorrow,
So don't try to stop me now, no, no
I'm the one thing I know that
Ain't gonna cry, gonna reach for the sky
You ain't gonna stop until you get a part
You can't go back until you get a part
So make some room for the ghetto boy
And if I had to do it over again
I wouldn't change a thing
Cause the hot or the bottle
I've got a reason to sing
Cause life is just whatever you make it
If you see what you want,
Gotta know where you're coming from
To see where you're going
So get up, stand up, rise and shine
One thing I know that I've
Not gonna fail, gonna rise and shine
The rain gonna stop, it's gonna get a part
You can't go back, it's gonna get a part
So make some way, gonna get a part
Not gonna fail, gonna rise and shine
You ain't gonna stop us till we get a part
You can't hold back us till we get a part
So make some way, make some way,
Ain't gonna cry, gonna reach for the sky
Not gonna fail, gonna rise and shine
We ain't gonna stop this little ghetto boy
We can't hold back this little ghetto boy
So make some way for the ghetto boy,
