Ghetto Youths

[Intro]
Them cyaah say them never know
A nuh bread but you know the thing hard like dough

[Chorus]
Ghetto youths nuh stray then
Cah when mi check, a start a listen all the reasoning and see a Glock a raise them
And mi go sight up pon the news how much heckle and kotch deh inna Salem
Watch them a step wid the Ak47 bright in a May Pen (noo)
Selassie I, beg yuh save them

[Verse 1]
Cah this a the Land weh mi love, Land weh mi born
Land weh mi ancestors plant corn
Chop cane field from dust till dawn
When Marcus Garvey a shown like storm
Tеnor Saw buss when him ring the alarm
Bob Marley shot thе sherrif so him cyaah simmer down
Nuh make nuh politician take unuh fi clown
A could a six foot six inna di -

[Chorus]
Ghetto youths nuh stray then
Cah when mi check, a start a listen all the reasoning and see a Glock a raise them
And mi go sight up pon the news how much heckle and kotch deh inna Salem
Watch them a step wid the Ak47 bright in a May Pen (Lord)
Selassie I, beg yuh save them

[Verse 2]
Listen mi
United we stand up, like when Nanny and Sam Sharpe them did a plan up
Balance everything like Mortimer Planno
Wouldn't tek mi bredda life fi a dollar
When mi see the likkle drop a sentence pon di white collar
A wouldn't be a killer, say I'd rather be a scammer
Truck load a money fi mi daddy and mi mother
Yes, a so we fi a love we one and other

[Chorus]
Nuh waan fi see di ghetto youths a stray then
Cah when mi check, a start a listen all the reasoning and see a Glock a raise them
And then mi go sight up pon the news how much heckle and kotch deh inna Salem (pon TVJ)
Watch them a step wid the Ak47 bright in a May Pen (Lord)
Selassie I, beg yuh save them

[Verse 3]
Seh lowe the innocent, lowe the gang war
From school days, you and yuh bredda did a par
Now a likkle flare up gwaan, a marrow pon tar
Big threat a send, drive by inna car
Say yuh a go catch me and mi family a par
One a we a coulda deh a funeral or bar
Hear mi now star, (dat yuh say) hear mi now star
Tek mi off a yuh radar

[Chorus]
A nuh bother nuh stray then
Cah when mi check, a start a listen all the reasoning and see a Glock a raise them
And mi go sight up pon the news how much heckle and kotch deh inna Salem (pon TVJ)
Watch them a step wid the Ak47 bright in a May Pen (no)
Selassie I, beg yuh save them

[Outro]
Huh
(A beg you save them) A ooh
Lord them cyaah say them never know (mhm)
