Ghetto Youth |
A jah jah |
society… teacha. |
fi di ghetto youth dem |
Allrigh. |
Tired fe see another mother cry |
we alone face the sacrifice |
but no matter what dem say |
ghetto youth haffi still survive |
hold di faith and do it from sun up till sunrise |
a we dem persecute and terrorize |
but no matter what dem say |
Mi born a mi raise ina di gehtto ye |
hungry days hungry night, well mi haffi face |
me leff school without no subjects |
society nah show no interest |
every day ina di ghetto wah di same ting |
survival, survival of the fittest |
babylon now gi we access |
so bredder against bredder ina rat race |
me watch me gwaan and bring di money to the church door |
she say the past a tell us where fi ought more |

All me see a ghetto youth tired fi see another mother cry |
we alone face the sacrifice |

All me see a ghetto youth tired fi see another mother cry |
