In the Ghetto
I was born in the ghetto
Raised in the ghetto
Thru toil fi survive
All when di dutty tuff yuh can't soft lacka play dough
I am a ghetto yute suh mi can tell yuh stories
From now til a mawnin bout di likkle place weh mi grow
Bout di place weh mi grow round a Elim, big up St.E
Ghetto rubbish heap have di most mackerel tins
Where most households carry one bread winner
When yuh come from school yuh nuh sure bout dinner
And dat a if yuh gaa school caa school nuh sure neither
Haffi get homeschooled granny tun mi teacher
Yea shi teach mi, don't follow, be a leader
Ghetto yutes face nuff hard times, nuff hungry nights
Nuff fight from the system
How di man fi guh make a living
How di man fi guh feed im children
How di man fi guh mek ends meet when yuh burn im ganja field
Can yuh hear when the ghetto crying
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Mi a beg yuh feel mi pain
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Mi a beg yuh feel mi pain
Yea i was born in the ghetto
Raised in the ghetto
Upper class get di job, a neva ghetto yutes
Step inna a ghetto yute shoes and yuh will si
Every pain weh wi feel round here
It nuh fear fi a ghetto yute gaa school
Get 12 subjects, Can't get a work
Cause the people in power rather give it to dem friends
Dem alone waa rich, dem alone fi drive benz
Dats why wi chop e line dawg and seh fuck M.O.C.A
Caa wi naa form fool, rather farm ganja
And wi naa tek di suffering nuh longer
How yuh blame ghetto yute fi rise di crime rate when
You're di one fi blame, how di fire aguh tame
Yuh put gas to di flame, caa yuh promise to protect
And serve di ghetto people
Buh yuh same one tun round a kill dem fi fuckry, tell mi dis
Can yuh hear when the ghetto crying
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Mi a beg yuh feel mi pain
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Mi a beg yuh feel mi pain
How yuh feel seh di vendors dem feel
When yuh tek dem goods dung a market Mr.Police
Yuh just tek dem last and beat dem to sickness
Now yuh end up pon another yute's hitlist
Cause yuh beat him daddy and him witness
And him daddy was di house bread winner
Now yuh leff him family hungry, him a tek up di spinner
Can yuh hear when the ghetto crying
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Mi a beg yuh feel mi pain
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
Can yuh hear when the ghetto cry
