Lyrics

Mmm

Real ghetto life bredrin

Listen a story

A true story this

Listen, listen, yeah

Ay

Say he was born in the 80s

Say life was hard from he was a likkle baby

His daddy was in jail and his mama was crazy

Say from the start him a never have safety

Him a turn seven, start walk himself to school

Him a soon find out his mama was a fool

In class say he never gwan feel cool

Just a likkle quiet boy who follows all the rules

School finish and everyone else run to mama and papa

No one was there when things gwan hotta

When him reach yard, know the door it a lock off

Babylon a come and lock up him mama

But to him say that's just another day

And he knows it's not right, but what can him say?

Anything him try and say, mama slap him in him face

Scared in a house where him sleep every day

But that's just how it is

Wake up every morning 'pon him dirty mattress

How can he learn to give, yes, say if he never gets?

Yes, the ghetto cycle, you know that's what he's living in

That's what he's living in now, bow

Ghetto cycle

Say life it can be hard

Living in a Babylon backyard

We living in the

Ghetto cycle

Say no matter where you are

When it gets tough, you have to carry on

You know it is the

Ghetto cycle

Say head full of stress

Ghetto a go put you to the test

Yes, you know it is the

Ghetto cycle

You can make it out

Don't let the ghetto cycle drag you down

Ay

Now let's move forward

Now this likkle brother's fifteen

But his mama nah change, no, still gwan like a fiend

But his likkle brother's changed now

He's fighting in the playground

Nothing nice to say now

'Cause of what him see every day

Him watch his mama waste her life away

Him knew from the start he didn't wanna live this way

Yo, so he started hustling

Likkle money coming in, him belly stop rumbling

But still him feel the pain

Yes, say six years pass

Now this brother's twenty-one

Been hustling for six years and gone and copped himself a gun

Now the people 'fraid of him like he is a monster man

Say it's the first time him feel respect from anyone

Say it's not respect, but it can seem similar

To someone who's never had respect from anyone

Now he's moving reckless with it

Jock a brother's necklace with it

Then him get arrested with it

Now my brother's done, what?

Ghetto cycle

Say life it can be hard

Living in a Babylon backyard

We living in the

Ghetto cycle

Say no matter where you are

When it gets tough, you have to carry on

You know it is the

Ghetto cycle

Say head full of stress

Ghetto a go put you to the test

Yes, you know it is the

Ghetto cycle

You can make it out

Don't let the ghetto cycle drag you down

Ay

The judge gave him eight years, he got out in five

Coulda got out in four, but he didn't play nice

Then him come back to the ghetto and it nah feel right

Everybody screw face him say when him gwan by

Yeah, you know he's back to having nothing

No money in his pocket, no food in the cupboard

Him not talk to his mother, she left with another fella

So him sit up in the park and just open up a Stella

Yes, say this is ghetto life, this is ghetto living

It's been like that from the start

Him nah know no different, he look 'pon him bredrin's yard

Then him start to hit it, then he robbed up the yard

Now the bredrins wanna kill him, so he had to move away

Because he had no choice

He met one girl and they had one boy

Wasn't there from the start and it gwan break my heart

That this poor likkle baby never gwan stand a chance

But you have to carry on 'cause you can't make it out

Big up all the ghetto youth, them inna the drones

Love and unity, you know me shout that loud

Yes, so ghetto cycle, we have to break that down

Ghetto cycle

Say life it can be hard

Living in a Babylon backyard

We living in the

Ghetto cycle

Say no matter where you are

When it gets tough, you have to carry on

You know it is the

Ghetto cycle

Say head full of stress

Ghetto a go put you to the test

Yes, you know it is the

Ghetto cycle

You can make it out

Don't let the ghetto cycle drag you down
