Intro]

This a survival story, true ghetto story

Hey

[verse 1]

I remember those days when hell was my home

When me and mama bed was a big piece a foam

An mi 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 bredda dem kick up jerome

I remember when we visit dem wid pure big stone

An the boy danny pop out something weh full chrome

I remember when we run, fatta get him knee blown

An mi best friend richie get, two inna him dome

I remember so the avenue tun inna warzone

An ,mickey madda fly him out, cau 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 mi phone

[chorus]

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 rumour have it sey the chiney man have a sword

But we did have a one pop wey make outta board

So you know the next day mama pot overlooaad

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 inna 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 wi mash di works

And now the whole community a live greatly
