intro
Mi nuh come out to nuttin'
We nuh waan ghetto youth fi have nuttin'
Ooh, in de war wi nuh get in nuh line, no
In de war, seh de ghetto youth survive
verse
Ghetto youth a suffer in de streets and we leave, fi leave
Too much juvenile missy bleed
In our world, innocent killed by police in da freedom world
Society nuh believe all dem ting cah we do
A boss run an' smoke weed, give mi youth a chance
Society a harvest a crime dem nuh need
Farmin' on de seventies, politican plant de seed
verse
Selassie ay, your philosophy I lead
Christianity a tell mi sumtin' when mi nuh believe
What them seh fi rich, if a dey hurt mi haffi leave
Mi never writ against dem, ere fi escape us
Dem cyaan trick di ghetto youth
verse
Politican fi gwaan, win election, dunno when dem run gaan
But ooh ghetto youth, ah but Sisi stretch our palm
Gaza, Syria, yuh not elite, it's a sham
Our artists giddie people wer dem gwaan?
But dey sed society a fight wid but dem cyaan
I sey wi buy ammunition an' fire raw
Ghetto youth if ya smart don't stray from di norm
College or for college you better stay pon de dam
verse
Cos I wonder wha fi help us
Ghetto youth, wi need mi one doctor, wi lion
Wi waan money in a wi pocket
Ghetto youth dem cyaan stop it
Seh wi all gon' rise above de sky
bridge
Mi nuh come out to nuttin'
We nuh waan ghetto youth fi have nuttin'
Ooh, in de war wi nuh get in nuh line, no
In de war, seh de ghetto youth survive
