Rude Boy For Life

Skindred


* ... *

Nuff of the yoots in the ghetto firing shots now everyday 
Fighting against the ways of Jah, Jah know dem feel no way 
If you carry on so then there is a price to pay 
Life inside a cell is not a place you wanner stay 

Nuff youth dem come from good families, families 
Too much ah dem dem just ah end up in a cemetery, they're history 
Influenced by the badness that them see, Wha dem ah see 
Coz there's a lesson to be learn and you just don't have to be, a memory 

What you're dealing with you know that that ain't right 
The way you carry on the way you love to fight 

(repeat twice)
If you are a rude boy for life, always running into worries and strife 
Rude boy for life always walking on the edge of a knife 

Top shotter outer road dem, jusa gwoen like dem ah don 
War fe territory wan fe own all the land 
Gangstarfari Babylon dem pon the pay roll 
You can have it all, but end up losing your soul 

Infamous roughneck of society 
Yes I'm talking to you 
Don't wanner hear a word I say 
Are you listening to me? 
Coz I'm talking to you 

What you're dealing with you know that that ain't right 
The way you carry on the way you love to fight 

(repeat twice)
If you are a rude boy for life, always running into worries and strife 
Rude boy for life always walking on the edge of a knife 

What you're dealing with you know that that ain't right 
The way you carry on the way you love to fight 

Because you're running out of school and you're breaking the rule 
You dress up in a suit and you think say you cool 
You's a rude boy running round and you're not a clown 
Any boy stepping up you ah go push dem down 
Rude boy for life you want the trouble and strife 
Re check your steps turn from death unto life 
Another message to you rudie 
Burra man ah me say message to you rudie
