True That (feat. KRSA)

who dem want fi teach di youth dem
how to cheat and lie
you don’t have to steal and loot oh to stay alive
who dem want fi teach di youth dem
how to cheat and lie
we know it’s nah easy bwoy to struggle and strive hard
and if say this me seh tru dat
alla di gangsta bwoy dem a know dat
stop di killing me seh screw dat
all di war crime and sufferation screw dat
the way how you livin is so flat
you have never seen the place where you work at
each and everyday generate spat
but then tell my why you keep off the combat
yuteman pull yourself togetha be wiser
wise up that’s di only way fi rise up
stay strong if you try you can climb up
true dat take my advice and firm up
who dem want fi teach di youth dem
how to cheat and lie
you don’t have to steal and loot oh to stay alive
who dem want fi teach di youth dem
how to cheat and lie
we know it’s nah easy bwoy to struggle and strive hard
and if yuh sick yuh haffi cure dat
clean your dutty spoiled bad mind yuh haffi cure dat
and if you’re a wise man yuh haffi show dat
only say and do di things dem when yuh mean dat
in the school you can learn how to screw other
even if he’s your friend from you born it doesn’t matter
words of dem teaching is to leave behind your fellow
the meaning of the life is to get higher on the ledder
nuff a di gangsta dem a waan di yute fi commit crime
fi rob and shoot and loot and carry nuff armorition
fi kill any brotha man fi a rusty nickel or a dime
nah care bout dat di yute ago spend some jail time
yuteman pull yourself togetha be wiser
wise up that’s di only way fi rise up
stay strong if you try you can climb up
true dat take my advice and firm up
who dem want fi teach di youth dem
how to cheat and lie
you don’t have to steal and loot oh to stay alive
who dem want fi teach di youth dem
how to cheat and lie
we know it’s nah easy bwoy to struggle and strive hard
