(Chorus)
The ghetto youths dem rise up
Dem eyes open
Humble you self naw find nothing
Jah give you the vision and you sign something
Keep it going
The ghetto youths dem rise up
Dem eyes open
Humble you self naw find nothing
Jah give you the vision and you sign something
Keep it going
(Verse 1)
I got to make the money
Nothing funny
Am a bread winner and It’s all on me
Better stage, got to see better days
So it’s just a phase
So don’t you be afraid
Got to step forward to make and effort
Put you to the test first
Hope is that your best work
Hear man on duty am not here to flirt
You trying to get me down but am out again
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Say what? Big up the schooler’s dem
Morning a come dem go to school again
Mi nuh waan fi see no crime pon the new again
No Babylon cyaa come fool you mi friend
Naw trick you, k** you
Naw role you again
Meck a mockery, any trouble mi k** you again
??? I know the ghetto youths dem rising
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Lazy you lazy meck things a get worst
Stop fire the bag a guns and go look some work
Hungry belly man cyaa lock down no turf
Informer talk then police come search
Crime and violence step out a that
Prison and the dungeon get out a that
Black man deh k** black man no respect out a that
Unite meck Babylon fret out a that
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Verse 1)
(Repeat Chorus)
