Bounty Killer - Down In The Ghetto

Well, this one called, 'Down Inna The Ghetto'
None other than the mighty Bounty Killer say so
Every day we get up is just gun shot a echo
Nah no mercy
Well

Down inna the ghetto where the poor no have a thing
And the politician is the guns dem a bring, hey
And the crack and the coke dem a support the killing
Me check it out, the whole a dem a the same thing
Down inna the ghetto where the poor no have a thing
And the politician is the guns dem a bring, hey
And the crack and the coke dem a support the killing
Me check it out, the whole a dem a the same thing

My pocket is weak, my heart is willing
I want a pound a rice, but can't find a shilling
Can't buy the chicken back, much less the chicken
Turn left and right and is gunshot a fling
Everywhere me go is wicked song dem a sing
Now hear me now queens, and hear me now kings
All over this world, local and foreign
Black and white, me nah prejudice skin
Now hear me mister Lou, mister Wong and mister Chin
To kill another man, what good does that bring?
I feel it so much till cold bump take me skin
Me head start to hurt me, and me eyes dem a spin

Down inna the ghetto where the poor no have a thing
And the politician is the guns dem a bring, hey
And the crack and the coke dem a support the killing
Me check it out, the whole a dem a the same -

Who give the guns, who give the crack
No one to take the blame
And a who import the guns and cocaine
And a who innaculate the ghetto youths brain
And mobilize dem inna the bloodsport game
Say if you want to rich, you have to kill Shane
And wicked enough to kill him mother miss Jane
Mek dem say you a the wickedest man 'pon the lane
And if you want your respect fi long like a train
Wel, you better mek shot fall like a rain
You haffi put one foot 'pon dem concord plane
Hey, you better sell twenty kilo a cocaine

Down inna the ghetto where the poor no have a thing
And the politician is the guns dem a bring, hey
And the crack and the coke dem a support the killing
Me check it out, the whole a dem a the same -

You know dem release the chain and a use dem brains
Well, I am a man I believe you're the same
Nuff thing weh happen make Father God shame
Down inna the ghetto, yes, a pressure and strain
Like all some youths weh get caught 'pon cocaine
Get giddy and gone 'pon the false lane
A tell you how much him inna the hall of fame
And the MAC-11 weh him carry no have shame
And it can't tame, fi flush out your brain
Whether 'pon the street, 'pon the public, inna the main
A say a hollow point shot him gun contain

Down inna the ghetto where the poor no have a thing
And the politician is the guns dem a bring, hey
And the crack and the coke dem a support the killing
Me check it out, the whole a dem a the same thing
Down inna the ghetto where the poor no have a thing
And the politician is the guns dem a bring, hey
And the crack and the coke dem a support the killing
Me check it out, the whole a dem a the same thing

My pocket is weak, my heart is willing
I want a pound a rice, but can't find a shilling
Can't buy the chicken back, much less the chicken
Turn left and right, still a gunshot a fling
Everywhere me go is wicked songs dem a sing
Now hear me now queens, and hear me now kings
All over this world, local and foreign
Black and white, me nah prejudice skin
Hear me mister Lou, mister Wong and mister Chin
To kill another man, what good does that bring?
I feel it so much till cold bump take me skin
Me head start to hurt me, and me eyes dem a spin...
