Zagga zagga zagga zagga zeh
Well, this is just a ghetto, ghetto thing
And all the ghetto youth dem watchin' we livin'
Listen to the Dancehall King... anyway!
Tell dem nuh tell me nothing
'Cause this a ghetto something
Government a push we button
Give me gun fi kill mi cousin
Police just murder dozen
And still cyan solve the puzzle
And politicians give we gun fi get we inna trouble
A lawyer fi nuh cheat
And you haffi touch the street
Bullet a bills a piece
So you haffi have whole heap
You cyan afford your gun fi empty when the war nuh cease
You think it's easy when you buck up and your bullet a click
You waan fi help yourself
Take away yourself
Take the main, the closest thing and take a dozen fence
Use the intelligence
Curfew a nuh make no sense
Look how long you a fire gun and nuh have no rope come fence
Some things a gwan from the other day
Little pickney getting stab up, that is not OK
Old woman a get rape a Montego Bay
We want a better day and a better J
Think about your wife
Think about your kids
Think about the life that you want to live
Better be positive than be negative
Getting a better life should be your perogative
Just take a look around
'Bout you run the town
Your house stop coming down
Your bed deh 'pon the ground
'Bout your shot off gun beat a couple dozen round
Now dem have you up a Horizon lockdown
But if you never eat, turn cornmeal
And if you never know how hungry feel
Why it's gwan a take your lip 'til it all a peel
Pretending to be real when you nuh know the deal
But true your bread butter 'pon the two side
That's why you waan fi take the ghetto youth dem for a ride
But dem politricks ghetto youth try avoid
No matter wha' dem do, dem still cyan take we pride
Like how dem give we basket so we fi carry water
Wha' we step up to the plate like lamb to the slaughter
You nuh have no trade, you haffi mix mortar
Yet still, your basic needs dem, you still short of
Me will serve the time
But wha' me a serve the time fah?
I will commit the crime
But wha' me a do the crime fah?
I will cross the line
But wha' me a cross the line fah?
Now a move up time, weh you a stay behind fah?
Elevate your mind
Wha' you acting blind fah?
Papers dem waan you sign
Know wha' you really a sign fah?
Party dem waan you join
Know wha' you really a join fah?
When me spit mi rhyme, a justice me a spit mi rhyme fah?
'Cause I'm a product of the ghetto, yo
A true product of the ghetto, yo
I'm a product of the ghetto
This I waan the whole world to know
I'm a product of the ghetto
Real born product of the ghetto
True born youth from the ghetto
Real gangsta youth from the ghetto
A true product of the ghetto
Want everybody from the ghetto to know
That I'm a product of the-
'Cause I'm a product of the-
'Cause I'm a product of the ghetto
