Ghetto Boy lyrics with English Translations
Yo! (Ghetto)
They do more to the people than for the people (get out, Get it)
They crash the economy like a vehicle (let's set it, I heard dem)
Seh dem a don and dem a dupes and dem a dadda (stupid fools)
Inna the heart of the youths dem future you stick a dagger (that's what they did)
Let's do this ragga (let's move)
Once I was a little child Little things that make me smile But quickly I became a man The don put a gun into my hand Told me that I could live or die I didn't know the reason why But my gun became my toy The story of the ghetto boy
Ghetto boy, ghetto boy The story of the ghetto boy Ghetto boy, ghetto boy The story of the ghetto boy
Well The story of a ghetto boy Who the don give the gun an think him get a toy So him deploy inna the street to set a better joy But now him buck up the police and him regret a choice Death is what him get a tise Story of a ghetto youth Who the don give the gun and seh you better shoot If you want to wear a better suit you want fi drive a coupe Wear a couple gold chain and sleep with couple prostitute Dem future you a prosecute No don cyaan tell I nothing, or press I button Me a gwaan eat me greens if me cyaan buy mutton Me no red eye or glutton fi no gyal or guy somn No hold the fate so till the gate Jah seh fi I must open We no waan see Andrew Holness, we no waan see Portia NCB me waan fi see and Scotia Tell P and JP, both a dem a joker But me proud a ghetto me come outta
