[Intro]
True Story (Fucking system)
No, No, No way
[Verse 1]
Poor people die, every night every day
No-oo
We cya believe weh the leaders a say
To God we pray
Mi need fi know the world ya so cold
The pussy kill a three year old
Demon and evil take over them soul
Ah suh them waan roll
The key to life is simple
Money don't easy
If ya never know the key o' life
Is to stay alive
[Chorus]
Too much money inna the world fi man ah dead
Ghetto youths stay alive
Too much money inna the world fi man ah dead
Ghetto youths stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Ghetto youth
Stay alive, stay alive, ayy
We haffi survive
[Verse 2]
One life mi have, and mi ah live it
We in this fucking thing to win it
Some people say sky ah the limit
Me na have no limit
Fi years them ah shoot black man
Regular them execute black man
Oh god, protect wi likkle island
From them ah thing ya weh the system dem ah plan
[Chorus]
Too much money inna the world fi man ah dead
Ghetto youths stay alive
Too much money inna the world fi man ah dead
Ghetto youths stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Ghetto youth
Stay alive, stay alive, ayy
We haffi survive
[Verse 2]
Ghetto youth
We fi rich like Bill Gates
And we gyal fi rich like Oprah
Dem, think man nuh see wha gwan thru mi seh never sober
Dem wan, tek ya life and then give you gun
Your baby mother pregnant and you nuh see ya son
Rapist a rape the old and the fucking young
How police nah kill them when dem run
[Chorus]
Too much money inna the world fi man ah dead
Ghetto youths stay alive
Too much money inna the world fi man ah dead
Ghetto youths stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
Ghetto youth
Stay alive, stay alive, ayy
We haffi survive
