This morning mi hear gunshot squeeze
Man marrow blow away with the breeze
Mi cyaa tek the violence it fi seized
Lord help wi lord, help wi lord, help wi
Mama bwaling shi cyaa find the school fees
Papa get bite with a couple keys
Some think it pretty when yo go over seas
Lord help wi lord, help wi lord, help wi
All when a shout, wi still haffi step out
Food in abundance no hand to mouth
Mi no waan get use to JPS block out
Things ship in from foreign fi pack out
Ghetto youth a no time fi go jail now
Stand up a peep behind rail now
No bother pree fi turn a dan nor no boss
Hustle fi yo likkle mask and move fast
Mi no in a flossing and mi no join show off
No small thinking mi mind a no dwarf
Fi the simplest thing a man wi get throw off
Better know wa yuh a seh before yo mouth go off
Wa yo think? No bwoy cyaa tell mi bout no strap link
Life gone as fast as yuh wink
Seet deh now mama nam fish a bread and have white rum a drink
