ghetto life lyrics

intro
hhmmm hmm hmm hmm
yeah yeah

verse

i nuh born to suffa
weh nuh k!ll mi
buil’ mi
make mi tuffa

militant in mindset
firm enough in structure
as youth
i was raised
in the ghetto known as common
reminisced on them days
never regret one moment

growing up
lived in a board house
with two bed that slept
the eight of us
when time
food scarce
mama go trus’

pound a cornmeal
an’ sugar, coconut
boil some porridge
pan coal stove

kitchen is a shed
like bathroom
use to be outdoors

few sheet a zinc and a hose
night timеs the shower cold

mi nuh know bout
gold spoon in a mouth

mi know survival mode
daddy load up his van
to go sеll crates of bottles

just to have money for us to
go to school tomorrow

chorus

every day try
though it’s so hard
to survive
we’ll never give up the fight
living this ghetto life
living in this ghetto life

repeat chorus

verse

due to circumstances

youths grow
with a cold heart
and a thick skin

in the get rich quick scheme
any means necessary
haffi mek it a foreign

mi a tell yuh
life in di ghetto
it nuh pretty, shot a echo
all wi know a hand to mouth
and that’s the poor man
living .. it hard

when food get short
dogs loud bark
jungle jesus rise
like christ nailed to the cross

man a pree fi tek life
naw hesitate pan di thought

poverty breed criminals
fatherless babies are born

to moms whose own
mothers don’t reach 31

raped by pedophile dons

corruption ripe amongst
politicians

for forty years stronghold
the garrisons nuh
change a d+mn

sustained impoverishment
inner cities
remain a slum

chorus

every day try
though it’s so hard
to survive
we’ll never give up the fight
living this ghetto life
living in this ghetto life

every day try
though it’s so hard
to survive
we’ll never give up the fight
living this ghetto life
living in this ghetto life

verse

i nuh born to suffa
weh nuh k!ll mi

food scarce
mama go trus’

pound a cornmeal
an’ sugar, coconut
boil some porridge
pan coal stove

kitchen is a shed
like bathroom
use to be outdoors

few sheet a zinc and a hose
night times the shower cold

mi nuh know bout
gold spoon in a mouth

mi know survival mode
daddy load up his van
to go sell crates of bottles

just to have money for us to
go to school

chorus
every day try
though it’s so hard
to survive
we’ll never give up the fight
living this ghetto life
living in this ghetto life

every day try
though it’s so hard
to survive
we’ll never give up the fight
living this ghetto life
living in this ghetto life
