Ah jah jah, open gay rights society, teacha fi di ghetto youths dem, alrite Tired fi see another muda' cry Wi alone face di sacrifice But no matter wah dem say Ghetto youth haffi still survive Wi hol' di faith alone from sun up till sun rise Ah we dem prosecute and terrorize But no matter wah dem say Ghetto youth haffi still survive (well alright) Mi born and mi raise inna di ghetto yeah Hungry nights, hungry days weh mi haffi face Mi lef school without nuh subjects Society nuh show nuh interest Everyday inna di ghetto ah di same ting Survival, survival of di fittest Babylon, nuh give we access Suh bredda against bredda inna rat race Mi watch mi granny bring di money tru di church door She seh di pastor tell har seh fi hope more Dem seh heaven inna sky but mi doan sure Cah mi don't si nuh brochure (all mi see ah ghetto youth ah die) Tired fi see another motha' cry Wi alone face di sacrifice But no matter wah dem say Ghetto youth haffi still survive Hol' di faith alone from sun up till sun rise Ah we dem prosecute and terrorise But no matter wah dem say Ghetto youth haffi still survive, (well alright) Mi really wan fi nuh where is the future Fi Jamaica and di whole ah dem ghetto youth ya
