Vybz Kartel - Ghetto Youth (2011 version)
A Jah Jah open their eyes
Society...
Teacha
Fi the ghetto youth dem
Alright
[Chorus]
Tired fi see another mother cry
We alone face the sacrifice
But no matter wha' dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
We hol' the faith, although from sunup till sunrise
A we dem prosecute and terrorise
But no matter wha' dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Well, alright
[Verse 1]
Me born and me raise inna the ghetto, yeah
Hungry nights, hungry days weh me haffi face
Me lef' school, without no subjects
Society, no show no interest
Every day inna the ghetto a the same thing
Survival, survival of the fittest
Babylon, no gi' we access
So bredda 'gainst bredda inna rat race
[Pre-Chorus]
Me watch me granny bring the money through the church door
She say the pastor tell her say fi hope more
Dem say heaven inna sky, but me doh sure
Cah me don't see no brochure
All me see a ghetto youth a die
[Chorus]
Tired fi see another mother cry
We alone face the sacrifice
But no matter wha' dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Hol' the faith, although from sunup till sunrise
A we dem prosecute and terrorise
But no matter wha' dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
[Verse 2]
Me really waan fi no where is the future
Fi Jamaica and the whole a dem ghetto youth yah
Bright girl, she nah've no father
Fi pay the school fee, she nah've a mother
Suppose you hear say she turn a dirty dancer
Suppose you hear say she turn a dirty dancer
Society, why you mek the crime eat away the ghetto like a cancer?
Me waan your answer
[Pre-Chorus]
Me watch me granny bring the money through the church door
She say the pastor tell her say fi hope more
Dem say heaven inna sky, but me doh sure
Cah me don't see no brochure
All me see a ghetto youth a die
[Chorus]
Tired fi see another mother cry
We alone face the sacrifice
But no matter wha' dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Hol' the faith, although from sunup till sunrise
A we dem prosecute and terrorise
But no matter wha' dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Well, alright
[Bridge]
Ghetto youth from Jamaica

Venezuela
Belize and Cuba
Me bredda dem inna Angola
Zimbabwe, black soldier

Children
[Chorus]
Tired fi see another mother cry
We alone face the sacrifice
But no matter wha' dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Hol' the faith, although from sunup till sunrise
A we dem prosecute and terrorise
But no matter wha' dem say
Ghetto youth haffi still survive
Well, alright
