(Verse 1)
When yuh si mi in the street am working so hard
Waan gain wealth from mi young
Naw wait until mi old and done
Rather sun, rather rain
Do the work and mi nah complain
Cause waan my own from mi young
Nah wait till mi old and done
I know I got to gain
Through the struggling, through the pain
Yea want my own from mi young
Badmind cyaa keep I done
(Chorus)
So mi get up and go, go, go, go
Go, work hard fi the cash that flow, flow, flow, flow, flow
This a weh ghetto youths know, know, know, know, know
Work hard fi the interest grow, grow, grow, grow, grow
(Verse 2)
Cause everyday in my life get harder
Tell yuh if a wasn’t the father
Si the obstacles dem all around
Many will try to keep yuh down
Nough yuh think a yo brother
Cut the steps a the ladder
Si the pagans dem all around
Many will try to keep yuh down
Poverty, lock of opportunity
It’s just the life a the ghetto
But determination, to reach yo destination
That’s the attitude of a determine soul
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)
No mi cyaa joke around caw mi youths dem a grow
Haffi make way fi make the cash flow
One, one coco full basket
So mi hear my granny talk it yea
Lord pleas watch over me
As I worl towards my destiny
Provide a shield for me
From those who make me their target yea
Poverty, lock of opportunity
It’s just the life a the ghetto
But determination, to reach yo destination
That’s the attitude of a determine soul
