Its hard out there fe the youths them
Despite it all they stand tall
So big up all the ghetto youths them
Its hard out there fe the youths them
Despite it all they stand tall
So big up all the ghetto youths them
This one I feel it deep
Hurts my heart and I cant even sleep
Wondering, if the kids going eat
Thinking, if Im gonna make the ends meet
You gotta be tough when you there outer street
Be grateful fe the ones them you greet
You never know, who going meet
Your next hand shake might be your big break
Its hard out there fe the youths them
Despite it all they stand tall
So big up all the ghetto youths them
Its hard out there fe the youths them
Despite it all they stand tall
So big up all the ghetto youths them
This one is no laughing
So much ah-dey youths them starving
And then the ones that aint is the ones that there
Lay down inner the coffin
Bang, bang guns them barking
Because the guidance system misleading
The youths them grieving
Because they dont have anything to believe in
Its hard out there fe the youths them
Despite it all they stand tall
So big up all the ghetto youths them
Its hard out there fe the youths them
Despite it all they stand tall
So big up all the ghetto youths them
The youths them have to hustle
Work hard any day regardless of pull muscle
Still Babylon want give them a tussle
Hold one today just to bring in a couple
I tell them just cool, we ah tell them just settle
Because one of these days, well be able
Babylon, we put them back in them stable
And were surely gonna win this illusion battle
Its hard out there fe the youths them
Despite it all they stand tall
So big up all the ghetto youths them
Its hard out there fe the youths them
Despite it all they stand tall
So big up all the ghetto youths them
This one I feel it deep
Hurts my heart and I cant even sleep
Wondering, if the kids going eat
Thinking if Im gonna make the ends meet
You gotta be tough when you there outer street
Be grateful fe the ones them you greet
You never know, who going meet
Your next hand shake might be your big break
Its hard out there fe the youths them
Despite it all they stand tall
So big up all the ghetto youths them
Its hard out there fe the youths them
