Before hi lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray di lord mi soul fi take

Yow di city don't love me
Mi know seh di city don't love me
Mi don't have a job no money
Lord di pain mi hungry

A just ghetto life
Wi a search fi di paradise
Da one yah name ghetto life
Wi need a way to survive
Hoowuhooowu
A just ghetto life
Wi a search fi di paradise
Da one yah name ghetto life
The system traumatize
Listen to di elder

Mi granny never tell mi no lie
When shi seh di system it don't right
Dem don't have no mercy society
Yo don't listen to di ghetto youth voice
Meck di ghetto youth dem strive
Every body pikiny waan fi know life
A di prison an di jail dem find
Tell mi wa dem waan wi dead fa

Every ghetto youth waan money yeh
And dem waan buy a house for mommy yeh
In di streets everyday don't funny yeh

Colonial brutality
Innocent youth get shoot Addi si

Something a go happen in a di inner city
And mi granny seh di longest liver haffi si

Every ghetto youth waan money yeh

In di streets everyday don't funny yeh
Mi no know when di hearse coming for me yeh
Every ghetto youth waan money yeh
