The Voice of a Shanty Town lyrics

I’ve been to places I’m sure you wouldn’t wanna see I’ve been through things and business, that you’ll never believe I was born in a shanty town, rules and laws written upside down At the age of 10, I was on my own, living in the streets The Government don’t give a damn Denying this no man’s land I was born in the crossfire, Kids were running, women crying Cops were shooting, sirens loud People yelling, doors knocked down Shooting first, warning last It’s a true story, sure it’s sad The Voice of a Shanty Town, do it cause you can! Gotta stick with your dreams Like the choice I made Gotta stick with your dreams Make a real change The chords I play on this 6-string I learned from an old man That was my chance to reach my soul Shooting solos over guns Writing songs, spreading love Even trying to have some fun I met these brothers, drums and bass The power comes distorted but intense The Voice of a Shanty Town, do it cause you can ! Gotta stick with your dreams Like the choice I made Gotta stick to with your dreams Make a real change
