Lyrics of Ghetto youth

A jah jah
Society...teacha.. fi di ghetto youth dem

Allrigh

Tired fe see another mother cry
We alone face the sacrifice
But no matter what dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Hold di faith and do it from sun up till sunrise
A we dem persecute and terrorize
But no matter what dem say

Mi born a mi raise ina di gehtto ye
Hungry days hungry night, well mi haffi face
Me leff school without no subjects
Society nah show no interest
Every day ina di ghetto wah di same ting
Survival, survival of the fittest
Babylon now gi we access
So bredder against bredder ina rat race
Me watch me gwaan and bring di money to the church door
She say the past a tell us where fi ought more
Dem say livin ina sky
But mi dont sure
Cah mi dont see no ?brosure?

All me see a ghetto youth tired fi see another mother cry
We alone face the sacrifice
But no matter what dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Hold di faith and do it from sun up till sunrise
A we dem persecute and terrorize
But no matter what dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive

Me really waan fi know where is de future
Fi jamaica an di whole a dem ghetto youth ya
Giirl
She nah've no father
Fi pay di school fee
She nah've her mother
(so pose your ears)
She turn a dirty dancer
(so pose your ears)
She turn a dirty dancer
Society why you make di cryin (crime) heat away
Di ghetto like a cancer
Me waan yuh answer

All me see a ghetto youth tired fi see another mother cry
We alone face the sacrifice
But no matter what dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Hold di faith and do it from sun up till sunrise
A we dem persecute and terrorize
But no matter what dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive

Well allrigh...
Ghetto youth from jamaica, trinidad and antigua
Venezuela, belize an cuba
Mi bredder dem ina angola
Zimbabwe, black soldier
Gaza...chilren..

Tired fi see anoterh mother cry
But no matter what dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Hold di faith and do it from sun up till sunrise
A we dem persecute and terrorize
But no matter what dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
