Rrrrrraaaa

Inna di ghetto street hard

Protect me, oh, Lord,

Bank mi a pree, nah pree morgue, mi ask Jah

Fi guide me inna di street cuz when yuh dead a no battery fi recharge,

And mi no perfect, but you know mi flaws

And you know mi nah live without a cause,

Why dem no want see, di fat car inna garage,

Dem quick fi sell out ghetto youths dem to di dogs

Jah Jah guide my steps as I live and learn,

Forgive me for the wrongs I've done,

Protect me from evildoers, give me the strength so I can stand and not run,

And I know, when you gone,

There's no return, inna di fyah mi see di evil burn,

Righteous people Jah Jah nah desert,

Ghetto youths can't wait fi see di tables turn

My money haffi nuff like the sand pon di beach,

Fi every ghetto youth weh dem f****n deceive,

Nah give we no work, wah dem expect we fi thief,

Dem want, push we around and tell we accept defeat,

But me high like a kite when mi smoking di trees,

Counting the money and cruising with ease,

Dem badmind wicked and a f****n disease,

Haters they see we and they shake in the knees

Jah Jah guide my steps as I live and learn,

Forgive me for the wrongs I've done,

Protect me from evildoers, give me the strength so I can stand and not run,

And I know, when you gone,

There's no return, inna di fyah mi see di evil burn,

Righteous people Jah Jah nah desert,

Ghetto youths can't wait fi see the tables turn

Jah Jah guide my steps as I live and learn,

If you want the riches then you have to earn,

Jah Jah guide my steps as I live and learn,

Protect me from evildoers, Yeah!
