Lyrics

For the projects the poorest the voiceless youth
Chant for life loud like a choir
Dem system is the biased, liars, admirers of
Papers,and their god is a banker
We're living in the city dem a draw wi out
Crack house dem a build fi come and sell wi out
Looking for a way to take us out of the drought
When survival of the fittest is our only route
Out to the people inna di city slaving hard fi di master
Working through the night because they can't take the saga
System it a pressure and it just a get harder
That's why mi a send this to di brothers
That's why mi a send this to di mothers and mi send this to di fathers
Who wake up in the morning just to feed dem likkle daughter
Overcome the pressure cause dem can'take the drama
Steppin inna Babylon we haffi wear wi armour
For the projects the poorest the voiceless youth
Chant for life loud like a choir
Dem system is the biased, liars, admirers of
Papers,and their god is a banker
We're living in the city dem a draw wi out
Crack house dem a build fi come and sell wi out
Looking for a way to take us out of the drought
When survival of the fittest is our only route
Catch me round the corner round midnight or midday
Hustling for a couple o pounds r u with me
This likkle change nah bring food fi mi pickney
Work hard but also battle with the sickness
Marks on these walls and my moves are countless
Inside I feel sad,show no sign of pain
I would like to change sides and take my fam away but
The sun might shine another day
For the projects the poorest the voiceless youth
Chant for life loud like a choir
Dem system is the biased, liars, admirers of
Papers,and their god is a banker
We're living in the city dem a draw wi out
Crack house dem a build fi come and sell wi out
Looking for a way to take us out of the drought
When survival of the fittest is our only route
Survival is the key a must a necessity
I hope you can see dem wan put poison in your recipe
In the night they all look friendly
When the sun comes know your enemy
They conquer my father's land and call me a resident
I have a King not a just president
Forward ever so we cannot hesitate
The last mile always the longest
So I lift up my head in Jah Jah mi truss
And surely only in the highest one mi confess
InI got the cure where evil infest
For the projects the poorest the voiceless youth
Chant for life loud like a choir
Dem shitstem is the biased, liars, admirers of
Papers,and their god is a banker
We're living in the city dem a draw wi out
Crack house dem a build fi come and sell wi out
Looking for a way to take us out of the drought
When survival of the fittest is our only route
