True ghetto story
This is my story
Real ghetto story
Hey
I remember those days when hell was my home
When me and mama bed was a big piece a foam
An me never like bathe and my hair never comb
When mama gone a work me go street go roam
I remember when Danny Dem tek me snow cone
An mek him likkle Brenda Dem kick up Jerome
I remember when we visit Dem wid pure big stone
And the boy Danny pop out
Something weh full chromei remember when
We run fatta get him knee blown
And my best friend Richie get two inna him dome
I remember so the avenue turn in a war zone
An' mickey madda fly him out cause she get a loan
But mickey go to foreign and go tun AL Capone
Mek whole heap a money and sen in our own
Now a we a lock the city and that is well known
Yesterday mickey call me pan me phone
Me say mickey
We get DI ting Dem Dem outta luck now
Mi squeeze seven and the whole a Dem a duck now
We have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now
Rah rah rah rah
We get DI ting Dem so Dem haffi rate we
Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah rah rah rah
I remember bout '80 Jamaica explode
When a trinity and tony Hewitt Dem a run road
That a long before laing Dem and even bigga ford
When Adams Dem a corporal nuh know the road code
I remember when we rob the chiney shop down the road
An rumor have it say the chiney man have a sword
But we did have a one pop way make outta board
So you know the next day mama pot overload
I remember when we skip the poll clerks
An dump the ballot box pan tivoli outskirts
An hold a plane ticket and go chill over Turks
When me come back a still inna the hole me a lurk
I remember those days when informer dirks
Get one in him face and me nuh get nuh perks
And the bigger heads Dem are a couple of jerks
'Cause a Dem a mek DI money when a we mash DI works
We get DI ting Dem Dem outta luck now
Me squeeze seven and the whole a Dem a duck now
We have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now
Rah rah rah rah
We get DI ting Dem so Dem haffi rate we
Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah rah rah rah

Rah rah rah rah
We get DI ting Dem so Dem haffi rate we
Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah rah rah rah
