rate me

[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.
