This a survival story, true ghetto story
This is my story, real ghetto story
Hey
[verse 1]
I remember those days when hell was my home
When me and mama bed was a big piece a foam
An mi never like bathe and my hair never comb
When mama gone a work me go street go roam
I remember when danny dem tek me snow cone
An mek him likkle bredda dem kick up jerome
I remember when we visit dem wid pure big stone
An the boy danny pop out something weh full chrome
I remember when we run, fatta get him knee blown
An mi best friend richie get, two inna him dome
I remember so the avenue tun inna warzone
An ,mickey madda fly him out, cau she get a loan
But, mickey go to foreign and go tun al capone
Mek whole heap a money and sen in our own
Now a we a lock the city and, that is well known
Yesterday mickey call me pan mi phone
Mi say mickey.....
[chorus]
Wi get di ting dem

Mi squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
Wi have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now

Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah...rah..rah...rah
[verse 2]
I remember bout '80, jamaica explode
When a trinity and tony hewitt dem a run road
That a long before laing dem and even bigga ford
When adams dem a corporal nuh know the road code
I remember when we rob the chiney shop down the road
An rumour have it sey the chiney man have a sword
But we did have a one pop wey make outta board
So you know the next day mama pot overlooaad
I remember when we skip the poll clerks
An dump the ballot box pan tivoli outskirts
An hold a plane ticket and go chill over turks
When me come back a still inna the hole me a lurk
I remember those days when informer dirks...
Get one inna him face and me nuh get nuh perks
And the bigger heads dem are a couple of jerks
Cause a dem a mek di money, when a wi mash di works

Wi have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now
Rah...rah..rah...rah

Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah...rah..rah...rah
