Vybz Kartel - Born & Raised
Father Romie
Ghetto Godfather
Know ghetto youths, worldwide
Universal (the Teacha)
[Bridge]
Society (the Teacha) forsake we (the Teacha)
Dem no feel the pain we feel (yo, yah go see me mother cry)
The system (the Teacha) no really care (the Teacha)
If we live or we die
We laugh or we cry
If a sadness or joy
[Verse 1]
Like the phone me, me life a flash
The way time fly so fast, me no wear no watch
Me youth waan go school, me no have no cash
Me insane like the mad man weh search the trash
Hey, me black empress a sell punash
The way go-go club ram no collage match
Police dem 'pon the ghetto youth like bandage patch
A four month dem remanding fi the bag with stash
Why, me haffi strap up every night so hard
Me wonder if death pretty, cah life so hard
Eternity a hell a must my reward
Cah me a hustle fi me vehicle and must buy me yard
Me have the number one criminal record
A true Jamaica people poor, that's why life tek hard
Every youth fi get a Visa fi gwaan abroad
Cah we deh yah so a suffer like a maga dog
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the ghetto (the Teacha)
Teacha was born and raised in the garrison (the Teacha)
Nuff youths dead, more a suffer
Ghetto youths deserve better (facts)
[Verse 2]
Me decide say me nah turn cruff
So me link Leng a Big Yard and buy some stuff
Inna bills a fifty bag me wrapped dem up
The first day me touch the road Feds lock me up
But wha', me nah mek no bwoy... me up
Me prefer hustle and rob fi that... me buss
Me nah bow fi drive no car me prefer hop the buss
'Cause a so ghetto youth full a pride
Me poor, but sell out life is not fi us
Down a McKinley Crescent, dawg, strap me fuss
Cah food haffi ever inna pot fi us
And a the road me a touch out... fi rust
Me, love the youth dem so me teaching dem
But no, not like the pastor with the preaching dem
Me tell dem say don't rob nothing petty
Rob sup'm fi you rich
Like Matterlon unleashing dem
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the ghetto (the Teacha)
I was born and raised in the garrison (the Teacha)
Nuff youths dead, more a suffer
Ghetto youths deserve better
[Bridge]
Society forsake we
Dem no feel the pain we feel (yo, yah go see me mother cry)
The system no really care
If we live or we die
If a sadness or joy
[Chorus]
I was born and raised in the ghetto (the Teacha)
I was born and raised in the garrison (the Teacha)
Nuff youths dead, more a suffer
Ghetto youths deserve better
