Hop bop but don't call the cop

My sound still in the musical top, relax

Come on in, the gate is wide and open

Don't be afraid, we're not as bad as they say

Do you, do you, do what you got to do

Do you, do you, do what you got to do

Do you, do you, do what you got to do

Do you, do you

We're having fun down in the ghetto

We're having fun down in the ghetto

We're having fun down in the ghetto

We're having fun down in the ghetto

chorus:

When will the innocent stop being

Punished for their innocence

When will the innocent stop being

Punished for their innocence

When will the innocent stop being

Punished for their innocence

When will the innocent stop being

Punished for their innocence

Come on in, the gate is wide and open

Don't be afraid, we're not as bad as they say

Do you, do you, do what you got to do

Do you, do you, do what you got to do

Do you, do you, do what you got to do

Do you, do you

chorus:

Now I'm at a corner, gonna check a sistren

Left alone to suffer

No I'm at the station, going to check a brethren

Charge with instigating revolution

See it ya, now me sey we willy winkle

Where have you been

So skinning up your teeth, you know wi not smiling

Because you upstairs downstairs committing sin

Political wise and you don't deserve a thing

Every sufferer suffer sometimes or another

Though you see wiinna knit ganz and sweater

Wi belly could a full, but wi still a suffer

House and land down suh it without furniture

Though wi export wi coffee send wi farm worker

Ex-amount a wi people still a suffer

The ghetto gal from down suh,

Man mi sey she sweet like a wah

Man wi hail up Pam and big up Barbara

Special request to Panserella Big up the youth

Call Burro Chaga, soul man him dey yah

In nough gold chain, silver

When will the innocent stop being

Punished for their innocence

When will the innocent stop being

Punished for their innocence

You see as to how wi get this riddim yah

Fe dance wid, you dance wid ityou nuh

Sam way you nuh
