[Intro:] Who, |
|

|

|
Chuh ! (Ghetto youths dem a bawl, long eyewater a fall) [Chorus:] |
|
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 |
| [1:] |
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 |
| [2:] |
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 |
| [3:] |
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. |
