Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh Lord, whoa, na, na, na, hey!
Whoa, na, na, na, hey
Anyway, we rise, we pray (True)
Give thanks for yesterday
But now we're here today (Ah)
Same shit, just another day
The government invest inna more guns and bulletproof vests
Every ghetto youth a person of interest
Bruk curfew, you gone a jail regardless
Yeah, the bank manager up a NCD
A leave a Ambrook Lane 'round a halfway three-six
A still half dozen, but a three plus three
Dem still nah recognize we as nobody (Hey!)
Work very hard and we make it
Still the government a try come take it
Man a real badman and a fake this
Tell dem nuh try mistake it (Hey!)
The strong have to help the weak (Hey!)
Too much youth a sleep a street (Hey!)
Gunshot a buss whole heap
And the youth nuh got no shoes pon feet (Hey!)
I could say it's a warning (Hey!)
But the government keep yawning (Hey!)
Wake tomorrow morning, gunshot will be barking
The government don't bother you, dem bother pam
But dem still nah bother suit from that day
You find out the bill due, government nuh care
If you close your mill due, dem want money, dem a look for it from you
Sometimes you have to cuss a bad word, damn you!
You just graduate and a go a prom too
Limousine and the prom suit is on you, what you gonna do?
Light and water bill due, you a try put one to one to make two
Same time you a tell your son stay out a crew
'Cause badness a catch like a common flu
The MP a pass like no respect, no due
When a voting time, dem a depend pon you
No food, nothing inna your house and you can't go out
Election day, tell me what you gonna do? (Hey!)
The strong have to help the weak (Hey!)
Too much youth a sleep a street (Hey!)
Gunshot a buss whole heap
And the youth nuh got no shoes pon feet (Hey!)
I could say it's a warning (Hey!)
But the government keep yawning (Hey!)
Wake tomorrow morning, gunshot will be barking
Oh, na, na, na, na
Sticky doo, na, na, na, na
Brrr, ring-ba-dang-ba-dang-dang-ba-dang-ba-dang-dang-ba-ba-da-ba-da-da
I was born in the ghetto
So me just want you know
So me know what you know and you don't want show now
