30 Million

[Intro]
No no no no no no way
You no see it mad out deh
No no no no no no way
Ayy

[Verse 1]
Things just ain't the same, no mama
Son a tun scamma, shell down Alabama
Youth them get caught
In the glitz and the glamour (What?)
Bricks and the hammers
Long clips full a ammo
Everyday is a drama, guard ring, body armor
Protect from everything except fi the karma (Hm)
Man nah try look to no sky fi no manna
Understandable who can't wait son tomorrow
Or fi beg or fi borrow
That's the horrible truth too
Government cyaa find a thing fi the youths do (No)
Poverty no cute and you know that's the root
A three thousand fi apartment a Ruthven Avenue (Huh)
Everyone I assume want live comfortable too
Honest man look a work, sent him youth dem go school
But in a place weh you scrеwed if you follow the rules
What thе alternative you think somebody ago choose

[Chorus]
Because a thirty million fi a house up a Stony
Good ol' days
How we fi live under dem standard? You don't say
No, no way
Haffi militant, vigilant, haffi whol' it, hey
'Cause a no thirty million fi no house, none at all
How we fi survive? Wah a gwaan down a yaad

[Verse 2]
A million is not a what it used to be
Farming use to power communities
A degree used to mean opportunity
Only thing man a read now a eulogy
Funeral parlor say business is booming
School dem get empty, so prison is looming
Molly consuming (Yeah), dolly dem grooming (Yeah)
Where do you run to? (What?) Like Lila in Blooming
But we haffi survive and we a put up a fight
Cah life haffi live and me say things haffi buy
Can money fi mek and investments fi set
But even that under threat, financial sector a fret
I mean, what's that about? Me see all Bolt make a sound (Sound)
Can't believe the people wacky dip inna him account (watch ya)
Look pon money a spend, European a trend
Real estate recommend, man haffi re up again

[Chorus]
Because a thirty million fi a house up a Stony
Good ol' days
How we fi live under dem standard? You don't say
No, no way
Haffi militant, vigilant, haffi whol' it, hey
'Cause a no thirty million fi no house, none at all
How we fi survive? Wah a gwaan down a yaad
