[intro]
ah jah jah, open their eyes, society, teacha fi di ghetto youths dem, alrite

wi hol’ di faith alone from sun up till sun rise
ah we dem prosecute and terrorise
but no matter wah dem say
ghetto youth haffi still survive. (well alrite)
[verse 1]
mi born and mi raise inna di ghetto yeah

evеryday inna di ghetto ah di same ting
survival, survival of di fittest

suh bredda against bredda inna rat race
[hook]
