[Intro:]

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) 



[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 

How Riverton city ghetto youths dem survive 



[1:]

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 



[2:]

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. 



[3:]

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.
