Ghetto Story Chapter 2 |
When me and mama bed was a big piece of foam |
And me never like bathe and my hair never comb |
When mama gone a work me go street go roam |
I remember when danny dem take me snow cone |
And make him little brudda dem kick up jerome |
I remember when we visit them with pure big stone |
And the boy danny pop out something wit full chrome |
I remember when we run, fatta get him knee blown |
And me best friend richie got two in him dome |
I remember seventh avenue turn in a warzone |
And mikey modda a fly him out 'cause she got a loan |
But, mikey go to foreign and go turn al capone |
Make whole heap a money and say me now ah own |
Now a we a lock the city and, that is well known |
Yesterday mikey call me up on mi phone |
(chorus)-mi say mikey |
We get de ting-dem |
Dem outta lock now |
Me squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now (cham) — this is my story |
We have whole heap a extra clip 'cause we nuh bruk now greatly (cham)-true |
ghetto story |
Rah rah rah rah |
(alicia keys) — we got the kingdom so we have to make way |
We take it from the bottom to the top baby (cham) — this is my story |
And now the whole community can live greatly (cham)-true ghetto story |
Rah rah rah rah |
(alicia keys) — i remember those days when we was dead broke |
And i could baraly find a, dollar for a token |
Hop in the train just to get where im goin |
Popos after me and runnin like im smokin |
Remember those days when i went to bed hungry |
All i ever ate was white rice and honey |
Big dreams in my head |
Empty in my tummy |
Might crack a smile but |
Aint nothin funny |
I remember playin over needles in the street |
Everywhere i go a man wants some part of me Dirty dirty hookers and hoes on eleventh avenue |
Selling bodies for dope |
I remember crying saying that will never be me Gonna make it someday gotta be somebody |
Mommy don’t worry |
Its just you and me But one day we will get out of this misery |
(chorus)-we get de ting-dem |
Dem outta luck now |
Me squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now cham) — this is my story |
We have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now (cham) — true ghetto story |
Rah rah rah rah |
(alicia keys) — we got the kingdom so we have to make way |
We take it from the bottom to the top baby (cham) — this is my story |
And now the whole community can live greatly (cham) — true ghetto story |
Rah rah rah rah |
(alicia keys) — heres my ghetto story, story |
Been in hell through the fire |
Gonna take it higher |
Heres my survival story, story |
So many reasons to sing them, 'cause |
Now we got the keys to the kingdom |
(cham) — jamaica get screwed through greed an glutton |
Politics manipulate and press youths button |
But we rich now, so dem can tell man nuttin |
'cause a we a make mama a nyam fish an mutton. |

Ova dere so make me tell dem un sumtim |
Tru mi dey a foreign now a guy kill me cousin |
And me here say till today but him say he wasn’t |
Anytime me fly down him a get bout dozen… cause… |

Dem outta luck now |
Me squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now |
We have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now |
Rah rah rah rah |
(alicia keys) — we got the kingdom so we have to make way |
We take it from the bottom to the top baby |
And now the whole community can live greatly |
(cham)-rah rah rah rah |
(cham) — i remember those days when hell was my home |
When me and mama bed was a big piece of foam |
And me never like bathe and my hair never comb |
When mama gone a work me go street go roam |
