When things get tough
You gotta
You gotta rise up

My life is a story 
That started in penury
My life started poor
Mum and dad didn't have much
My life was pretty hard
But they encouraged my art
Mo mope ma jade
And so I never gave up
I believed in my gift
All I needed was a beat
I never took for granted 
My vision and my dreams
Success is what I strived for 
All I saw was an open door
I worked a nine to five for a living 
All invested in demos
Mo she nnkan ti mo le se
And now my life is a sunny day

Born in the ghetto
But my life now glows
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Born in the ghetto
Bought my car with my flow
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Born in the ghetto 
Bought my house with my flow
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Born in the ghetto
Moved out on my flow
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba

I had a lot of challenges
A lot of people never believed in me
I had many issues to deal with
But I took a chance on me
Rejection upon rejection
Would have made me quit
But my inner strength kept me on
And so I was never pissed
It takes a lot to succeed
And I persevered and persisted
I knocked on every door
Every failure was a test
Tin ba wo eyin sin
My struggle was worth it
It pays to believe in one's self
I did and I made it

Born in the ghetto
But my life now glows
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Born in the ghetto
Bought my house with my flow
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Born in the ghetto 
Bought my car with my flow
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Born in the ghetto
Moved out on my flow
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba

I was a low life fella
Now I'm riding high
Oh yeah come up come up
I was a low key fella 
Now I'm shining in the sky
Yeah yeah 

Born in the ghetto
But my life now glows
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Born in the ghetto
Moved out on my flow
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Ghetto mo ti dagba
Born in the ghetto
