Intro: 
Who, Mi nuh like how dem a treat di ghetto youth dem inno 
Chuh! Woi woi, woi woi woi woi woi 
Chuh! (Ghetto youths dem a bawl, long eyewater a fall) 

Chorus
Tell mi if yuh ever walk di streets of the ghetto dem before 
Fi see who is unsafe from secure 
The lifestyle of my people they fail to recognise 
Do you know what it takes for ghetto people to survive 
Did you ever walk through August Town at all 
Fi hear the comments of the people whey a bawl 
Wonder what it takes for you to realise 
How Riverton city ghetto youths dem survive 

Verse 1: 
Dats why we a king from wi dey home inna Africa 
Once wi a trod through Rome wi a warrior 
Whey wi fi get all now it nuh deliver 
Our share unno tek an a dis wi after 
When yuh money start rise yuh keep yuh secret secure 
When it start fall yuh mek it known to the poor 
Soon you'll be coming back for more 
All when yuh cup full a wi yuh ignore 

Verse 2: 
Then yuh commenting all the while about the places we live 
Degrade wi lifestyle when yuh make it what it is 
Have reaping violence in many cities 
Now I dream to stronghold in many village 
Now who will protect those who truly want peace 
How can we keep the peace when there is no peace to keep 
This time I take no defeat Oh Lord, I'm inclined to stand on my feet. 

Verse 3: 
Well then Mr. Rich, come offa di poor man's feet 
How is it the strong want to downpress the weak 
Without those who clean the sanitary and sweep the street 
Yuh cities would be mucky, yuh nuh see it 
Who you, promise the city flation below 
Yet it increase everywhere dat we go 
Is this the way that yuh love a show 
Hurting others and yuh hold on so.
