Ghetto yute trivilation
We get a bad reputation
But mi nah stop hustle fi d paper
Society nuh ask mi nuh question

Please listen my situaton

Mi afi get mi hand nurture fi a set a plan
So by nex year mi can be a better man
Ghetto yute affi wise like soloman

Remand remand from one jail 2 anoda one

But mi know one day better must come
From london city to kingston
