Nuff of the yoots in the ghetto firing shots now everyday 

Fighting against the ways of Jah, Jah know dem feel no way 

If you carry on so then there is a price to pay 

Life inside a cell is not a place you wanner stay 



Nuff youth dem come from good families, families 

Too much ah dem dem just ah end up in a cemetery, they're history 

Influenced by the badness that them see, Wha dem ah see 

Coz there's a lesson to be learn and you just don't have to be, a memory 



What you're dealing with you know that that ain't right 

The way you carry on the way you love to fight 



(repeat twice)

If you are a rude boy for life, always running into worries and strife 

Rude boy for life always walking on the edge of a knife 



Top shotter outer road dem, jusa gwoen like dem ah don 

War fe territory wan fe own all the land 

Gangstarfari Babylon dem pon the pay roll 

You can have it all, but end up losing your soul 



Infamous roughneck of society 

Yes I'm talking to you 

Don't wanner hear a word I say 

Are you listening to me? 

Coz I'm talking to you 



What you're dealing with you know that that ain't right 

The way you carry on the way you love to fight 



(repeat twice)

If you are a rude boy for life, always running into worries and strife 

Rude boy for life always walking on the edge of a knife 



What you're dealing with you know that that ain't right 

The way you carry on the way you love to fight 



Because you're running out of school and you're breaking the rule 

You dress up in a suit and you think say you cool 

You's a rude boy running round and you're not a clown 

Any boy stepping up you ah go push dem down 

Rude boy for life you want the trouble and strife 

Re check your steps turn from death unto life 

Another message to you rudie
