Chronixx - Ghetto Paradise

[Intro]
You living the life in the ghetto paradise
You living that life in the ghetto paradise

[Verse 1]
Me no know how me survive the hardship weh in yah
Life never sweet like a chocolate vanilla
Train line me born, me no born inna villa
Likkle monkey watch how you a talk to Gorilla
Cah, the government buy arms, gi' the killer
Two party a flex like a party dem inna
Accepting presents from foreign government
Weh still a fool dem and a school dem and a khaki dem in
Good God of Moses and Rodney the Killer
Poor people fed up and we can't sim-simmer
Can hardly survive as a blasted singer
Much less a baller who is a rahtid winger
Have a right foot like a David Villa
Him mother still a sell inna market
Jamrock is a precious stone
Still it's far from a diamond, tek it from I-man

[Chorus]
Even though Jamaica nice
You gotta live to save your life (God know)
After the sunset comes the darkness of the night, yeah
Better open up your eyes (yeah)
You've gotta read between the lines (gotta read)
Living in the ghetto paradise (ghetto paradise)

[Verse 2]
Jamaica spiritually irie, pretty and it nice
Still a ghetto paradise and me nah apologise
It slippery and it slidey, the government a lie
Dem trick we and dem buy we the chicken and the fries
Spend a likkle a your time, you giggle and you smile
But even if you try, you couldn't live some a we life
Riverton a bun, the likkle pickney dem a cry
The chubby bottle dem a pile up on the river side
And then you talk how Jamaica sweet
Wha' sweet, you will rotten your teeth
And in the streets it no nice and easy
Shot a beat, ghetto youths can't sleep (oh no)
And then you talk how Jamaica nice (so nice)
You say you living inna paradise
Poverty whistle like a Christmas breeze, yeah
You better take my foolish advice

[Chorus]
Even though Jamaica nice (Good Lord)
You gotta live to save your life (Jah know)
After the sunset comes the darkness of the night (comes the darkness)
Open up your eyes (so wide)
And read between the lines (gotta read)
When you're living in the ghetto paradise
(Living in the ghetto paradise)

[Bridge]
Survival (survival)
Only the fittest (only the fittest)
Shall make it out of this jungle alive
(Make it out of this jungle alive)
Survival (survival)
Jah is my witness (Jah is my witness)
The darkest hours of the night (yeah)
Is just before daylight

[Chorus]
Even though Jamaica nice (good Lord)
You gotta live to save your life (God knows)
After the sunset comes the darkness of the night (after the sunset)
You better open up your eyes (so wide)
Gotta read between the lines (God know)
When you're living in the ghetto paradise
(Living, living in the ghetto paradise)

[Outro]
Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
