Ghetto State of Mind

Politician unuh think this is a secret
From morning how much youth nuh eat yet
Unuh treat the people dem like reject
Yo plant people seed, yo must left wi fi reap it
It's obvious, ghetto lifestyle is fabulous
Suh why politician keep robbing us
And they know that we don't have enough
Wi don't have enough
They don't wanna see wi get extra pay
Even though we work hard extra day
Suh dem try tie wi down
Whod em try fi dumb? Nuh Mrs Ivy son
Well in this life
All Rodney do a live fi survive
Check the days of the years
The youth deh 365
Dem nuh waan ghetto pickney rise
Yo si Rodney Price shoes, none cyaa fit the size
Yo nuh si weh mi si wid mi eyes
Si the youth getting victimize
It funny as yo si the ghetto youths
How police gun quick fi rise
That's why dem gi yo the extra clip pon site
Come a grip mi sight
Fi put bullet between yo eyes
Suh watch how yo zip mi sight
Nough waan be a snitch fi slide
But yo don't have to slip fi slide
Caw mi know me and yo btch reside
Yow the street is wrapped up wid these leds
Will beat especially anytime when yo meet the feds
Yo nuh sleepy head
Dem shot yo left yo in a the jeep fi dead
Just believe mi dread
Well wi hang wid the youth dem pon the corner
Si the system stay a way meck the pastor sing
Grab the offering and gone foreign
That's why white rum the youth dem get cough a drink
Nuff house nuh have a sink
Some cyaa buy soap suh dem arm a stink
Caw the hustling weh did a gwaan pon the corner shrink
From ever since police cut the marijuana link
Yo si the crime rate? Don't talk a thing
Yo nuh waan find dike informer chimp
Dem find half a him, the next half weh the shark swim
Meck the woman and her daughter sprint
The crime scene shi cut like author wind
No shi nuh walk deh suh after since
Not even likkle pickney in a the park a sing
My God, this is not a saga thing
