[Intro] You living the life in the ghetto paradise You living that life in the ghetto paradise
[Verse 1] Me no know how me survive the hardship weh in yah Life never sweet like a chocolate vanilla Train line me born, me no born inna villa Likkle monkey watch how you a talk to Gorilla Cah, the government buy arms, gi' the killer Two party a flex like a party dem inna Accepting presents from foreign government Weh still a fool dem and a school dem and a khaki dem in Good God of Moses and Rodney the Killer Poor people fed up and we can't sim-simmer Can hardly survive as a blasted singer Much less a baller who is a rahtid winger Have a right foot like a David Villa Him mother still a sell inna market Jamrock is a precious stone Still it's far from a diamond, tek it from I-man
[Chorus] Even though Jamaica nice You gotta live to save your life (God know) After the sunset comes the darkness of the night, yeah Better open up your eyes (yeah) You've gotta read between the lines (gotta read) Living in the ghetto paradise (ghetto paradise)
[Verse 2] Jamaica spiritually irie, pretty and it nice Still a ghetto paradise and me nah apologise It slippery and it slidey, the government a lie Dem trick we and dem buy we the chicken and the fries Spend a likkle a your time, you giggle and you smile But even if you try, you couldn't live some a we life Riverton a bun, the likkle pickney dem a cry The chubby bottle dem a pile up on the river side And then you talk how Jamaica sweet Wha' sweet, you will rotten your teeth And in the streets it no nice and easy Shot a beat, ghetto youths can't sleep (oh no) And then you talk how Jamaica nice (so nice) You say you living inna paradise Poverty whistle like a Christmas breeze, yeah You better take my foolish advice
[Chorus] Even though Jamaica nice (Good Lord) You gotta live to save your life (Jah know) After the sunset comes the darkness of the night (comes the darkness) Open up your eyes (so wide) And read between the lines (gotta read) When you're living in the ghetto paradise (Living in the ghetto paradise)
[Bridge] Survival (survival) Only the fittest (only the fittest) Shall make it out of this jungle alive (Make it out of this jungle alive) Survival (survival) Jah is my witness (Jah is my witness) The darkest hours of the night (yeah) Is just before daylight
[Chorus] Even though Jamaica nice (good Lord) You gotta live to save your life (God knows) After the sunset comes the darkness of the night (after the sunset) You better open up your eyes (so wide) Gotta read between the lines (God know) When you're living in the ghetto paradise (Living, living in the ghetto paradise)
[Outro] Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
