(Intro)
Crime get stiff
Man cyaa bun a spliff
But a life a the greatest gift
Give thanks fi the day when Jah, Jah
Blow breath inna mi new lungs
Enter the life of a new thugs
Born inna sin and iniquity, inner city life
A no supn weh mi too love
(Chorus)
God know seh mi could a dead already
Jah, Jah, must a never ready
Ghetto mi live mi si blood shead already
Man ever ready whole a firm steady meddy
Mi witness nuff a my friend dead
Mi could a dead already
Jah, Jah, must a never ready
Ghetto mi live mi si blood shead already
Man ever ready whole a firm steady meddy
Mi witness nuff a my friend dead
(Verse 1)
Nuff time mi vision mi self inna coffin
But a voice tell mi no a no now it a go happen
Yo youth inna the boat a depend pon the captain
So mi seh mi haffi dweet before mi bone rotten
Bright light tell mi seh life too short
Cause a bay young youth him a berry an it pain him heart
Casha park to shadago park
The gun thing a dead thing listen teacher talk
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Weh day mi go a my dog funeral

Youth inna class an yo pants tight an yo skin cool
