Mi dih loke how dem ah treat The ghetto dem you know Woy woy woy woy woy woy woy Woy woy woy woy woy woy Woy woy woy woy woy woy woy Jah CHORUS Tell me if you ever walk the streets Of the ghettos them before Fi see who is unsafe from secure The life style of my people, You fail to recognise Do you know what it takes Fi ghetto people survive Did you ever walk through August Town at all Fi hear the comments of the people they ah bawl Wonder what it takes for you to realise How Riverton City ghetto youths them ah strive That's why we ah king from we dey home inna Africa Once we ah trod through Rome we ah warrior Wha we fi get all know it no deliver Our share uno tek and ah dis we after When we money start you keep your secret secure When it start fall you make it known to the poor Soon you'll be coming back for more And when your cup full ah we ignoor CHORUS Did you ever walk the ghettos them before Fi see who is unsafe from secure The life style of my people, You fail to recognise Do you know what it takes Fi ghetto youths them survive Did you ever walk through Rima at all Fi hear the comments of the ghetto youths ah bawl Wonder what it takes for you to realise How Nanny Ville ghetto youths them ah strive Heard you commenting all the while About the places we live Degrade we lifestyle When you make it what it is I'm reaping violence from my cities Low hygiene to the home in many village Now who will protect thoes who truely want peace How can we keep the peace when there is no piece to keep This time I'll take no defeat Oh lord I'm inclined to stand on my feet CHORUS Did you ever walk the ghettos them before Fi see who is unsafe from secure The life style of my people, You won't recognise Do you know what it takes Fi ghetto people survive Mi know you never walk through Waterhouse at all Else you wouldda hear the the ghetto people ah bawl Wonder what it takes for you to realise How Craig Town ma**ive them ah strive Well then mista rich come off of the poor man's feet Why is it the strong want to downpress the weak Without thoes who clean your sanitaries and sweep the streets Your cities will be mocky you no see it Who you promise to sink it price shall be low Yet it increase everywhere that you go Is this the way your love ah show Hurting others and your own also CHORUS Did you ever walk the ghettos them before Fi notice who is unsafe from secure The life style of my people, You fail to recognise Do you know what it takes Fi ghetto people survive Did you ever touch Tivaly at all Fi hear the comments of the people they ah bawl Wonder what it takes for you to realise How Harbor View ghetto youths them ah strive So we ah king from we dey home inna Africa Once we ah trod through Rome we ah warrior Wha we fi get all know you no deliver Our share uno tek and ah dis we after When we money start you keep your secret secure When it start fall you make it known to the poor Soon you'll be coming back for more And when your cup full the poorer cla** you ignoor CHORUS Did you ever walk the ghettos them before Fi notice who is unsafe from secure The life style of my people, You fail to recognise Do you know what it takes Fi ghetto people survive (fading)
