    Well I presume you know who wrote the song since it is the same song for all the other seasons,but as for who sings it,I heard they got a bunch of Baltimore street kids to sing it.

    According to David Simon it's sung by some Baltimore schoolkids. See here.
    The HBO site also lists the music from each of the episodes of season 4 - example.

    I thought there was different theme music for each season. I had a big gap watching each season so I must go back and double check

    It's the same song but sung in different styles by different artists each season. My least favourite was the Season 4 version.
