Ah jah jah Open, their rise society Teacha fi di ghetto youth dem Alright Tired fi see another muda' cry Wi alone face di sacrifice But no matter wah dem say Ghetto youth haffi st'il survive We hol' di faith alone from sun up 'til 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 no subjects Society nuh show nuh interest Everyday inna di ghetto ah di same ting Survival, survival of di fittest Babylon, nuh give we access So bredda 'gainst bredda inna rat race Mi watch mi granny bring di money tru di church door She say di pastor tell har seh fi hope more Dem seh heaven inna sky but mi don't sure Cah mi don't see no brochure (All mi see ah ghetto youth ah die) Tired fi see another muda' cry Wi alone face di sacrifice But no matter wah dem say Ghetto youth haffi st'il survive We hol' di faith alone from sun up 'til sun rise Ah we dem prosecute and terrorize But no matter wah dem say Ghetto youth haffi still survive Mi really wan' fi nuh where is the future Fi Jamaica and di whole ah dem ghetto youth, 'ya Bright girl, she nah've nuh fadda Fi pay di school fee, she nah've ah muda' Suppose yuh hear seh she turn a dirty dancer Suppose yuh hear seh she turn a dirty dancer Society, why yuh mek di crime eat away di ghetto like a cancer?
