[Intro: Chronixx] Where you gonna run now that the Gideon start? (Where you gonna run now that the Gideon start?) When all the money that you rob from ghetto yutes ain't enough to fly you to Mars? The system you defend start break down like Lego and The whole world becomes a ghetto That's when you'll realize [Chorus] The whole a wi a ghetto people Ghetto people Suh tell mister boasty slave don't forget the people Ghetto people, ghetto people Call dem all Remember Haile Sela**ie never left the people No time at all, not even an inch [Verse 1: Chronixx] Gimmi a pound a the macka height and no grabber Mek mi cool and satta pon the riddim proper Every youth top shotta part the zig zagger Mek mi show you what a clock a strike in a Jamrock yah Politician dem a chat a tongue sharp like macka Dem nuh no vision dem a scammer Wi a wave the banner Wa kind a honor unuh naw treat the youth wid honor Mek mi show unuh a vibes Nuh true yo living up town when the banks fall down Then the whole a wi a ghetto youths A me poor you rich but when the pole shift Then the whole a wi a ghetto youths And me black, you white, but when famine strike Then the whole a wi a ghetto youths On that day when you trade yo Rolls Royce for a grain of rice
