Life Story

[Intro:]
Yo ghetto youth have to make it life
No matter what them do
The best comes from the worst
Today fi u tomorrow for me
Ah d teacher

[Verse 1:]
Me never know me wuda buss
From me an mummy use to tekk d buss
From third world me never know me wuda lock d first world
With new style and new flows
Like wey Pac said who knows!
D Bemma d lexus d new royce
Me a pree from likkle pickney days inna school clothes
When me shoes d tear out u cuda see a few toes
Me house pack and leaking d house hot we sleepin
We house rot we bounce back when me daddy anounce dat
We move into Portmore
The sun shine the sea shore
It still better but me still ah pree more
From long time me start par wid borderline
And mix guns and weed selling
Thugs did tings fi me collar hype up and sweet smelling
Cops corralling, yelling don't move
We won't prove
Dem lock we up we get bail
Nex day we set sail
Like big ship same stuff
We Muda say me name cruff
But still we remain tuff
Cause better must come!

[Talk:]

[Verse 3:]
Me never know me wudda buss

A great joy fi hear "Kartel have career!"
Like trailer me change gear
Better each lyric when me member ppl use to say "yuh na buss, yah gimmick"
Dem affi watch me now pon dem tv
Or pay fi see me, my presence no free
Nuff girls use to call Addi iron ballon
Now me walkin pon dem like floor in a room
The first police weh lock me up fi disrespect
Me was a joy, ask me wah me do
Me say "artist" him say "me unemployed"
Lock me up, me nuh have no lawyer
So ah jail me sleep inna, now me pass him inna di Bimma
Who ah di man, who ah di boy?
No matter who yuh is, where yuh from, who u are

From you black u ah nigga, every nigga is ah star
Who nuh like dat drop ah sleep
