Ghetto life story,
All work but no glory
Cant laugh it nuh funny, serious!
Me just done work and me haffi find a little piece of bread
Before I lay down my head
9 To 5 but me still a reach hungry a bed,
It's unfair that I said
Just done work and me haffi find a little piece of bread
Before I lay down my head
9 To 5 but me nuh get a likkle money fi spend, I said
Watch how the youths a come up,
Wonder why them turn a badman and buss gun up,
No food no deh a road so them prefer get lock up,
Too long we a bawl and say poor people feed up,
Cross, how me fi go a class?
Watch me.
No straight jeans cause me nuh have no money
Rolling down the street inna the bus no it nuh funny
No diamonds fi me lady no food fi me baby,
Lord me get crazy
It's a celebration,
When daddy reach a yard and him bring food fi nyaam
Bus fare, rice and peas, already the money gone
This why them want me get an education
But when I grow up I wanna be a badman
No bother blame it on me, society nuh give me other opportunity
So me hustle hard and stay like addi,
"Want a trailer load a money!"
Ghetto life story
All work and but no glory
Cant laugh no it nuh funny, serious!
Serious!
