Did You Ever |
| Who, Mi nuh like how dem a treat di ghetto youth dem inno |
| Chuh !, Woi woi, woi woi woi woi woi |
| Chuh ! |
| (Ghetto youths dem a bawl, long eyewater a fall) |
| Tell mi if yuh ever walk di streets of the ghetto dem before |
| Fi see who is unsafe from secure |
| The lifestyle of my people they fail to recognise |
| Do you know what it takes for ghetto people to survive |
| Did you ever walk through August Town at all |
| Fi hear the comments of the people whey a bawl |
| Wonder what it takes for you to realise |
| How Riverton city ghetto youths dem survive |
| Dats why we a king from wi dey home inna Africa |
| Once wi a trod through Rome wi a warrior |
| Whey wi fi get all now it nuh deliver |
| Our share unno tek an a dis wi after |
| When yuh money start rise yuh keep yuh secret secure |
| When it start fall yuh mek it known to the poor |
| Soon you’ll be coming back for more |
| All when yuh cup full a wi yuh ignore |
| Then yuh commenting all the while about the places we live |
| Degrade wi lifestyle when yuh make it what it is |
| Have reaping violence in many cities |
| Now I dream to stronghold in many village |
| Now who will protect those who truly want peace |
| How can we keep the peace when there is no peace to keep |
| This time I take no defeat |
| Oh Lord, Im inclined to stand on my feet |
| Well then Mr. Rich, come offa di poor man’s feet |
| How is it the strong want to downpress the weak |
| Without those who clean the sanitary and sweep the street |
| Yuh cities would be mucky, yuh nuh see it |
| Who you, promise the city flation below |
| Yet it increase everywhere dat we go |
| Is this the way that yuh love a show |
| Hurting others and yuh hold on so |
