In the Ghetto

IN THE GHETTO

INTRO

 Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!

 See a jeep a come deh!

 See a jeep a come deh!

 So whe’ di I a run fa?

 After the I a nuh crimer!

 CHORUS

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep

 Life rough, rough, rough, rough, rough

 But the music sweet

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep

 Cause things tough, tough, tough, tough, tough

 But the music sweet

 VERSE

 Music loud, pot a cook and spliff a build

 Pretty woman nuff till them a dash ‘way and a spill

 And if my thing fly and I even sell a Mill

 I’m satisfied with my ghetto girl still

 We’ll always find a way once there’s a will

 The stereo type is that we only rob and kill

 When them arrive them surprise fi see whe’ a serve chill

 Them a wonda’ how them people ya so skill

 CHORUS

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep (thanks and praise, thanks and praise)

 Life rough, rough, rough, rough, rough

 But the music sweet (peace and love)

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep 

 Cause things tough, tough, tough, tough, tough

 But the music sweet

 VERSE

 After we juggle all week and the dollars nuh whole heap

 The only joy whe’ come cheap is when sound system a beat

 Ghetto party so nice dem nuh know how we do it

 Mek pure foreigners want come out in the street

 So hear me Mr. Officer just give me a bly

 We nah make nuh war and we nah broke nuh fight

 We come fi listen music and gwan Hail ‘Fari

 It’s our only form of joy that’s why…

 CHORUS

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep (thanks and praise, thanks and praise)

 Life rough, rough, rough, rough, rough

 But the music sweet (peace and love)

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep (session!)

 Cause things tough, tough, tough, tough, tough

 But the music sweet (thanks and praise)

 BRIDGE

 Don’t lock of the dance

 Give the youths a chance

 Love is what we need

 Let the people be

 Don’t lock of the dance

 Give the youths a chance

 Love is what we need

 Let the people be

 CHORUS

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep (thanks and praise, thanks and praise)

 Life rough, rough, rough, rough, rough

 But the music sweet (peace and love)

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep 

 Cause things tough, tough, tough, tough, tough

 But the music sweet

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep (thanks and praise, thanks and praise)

 Life rough, rough, rough, rough, rough

 But the music sweet (peace and love)

 In the ghetto 

 More dance fi keep 

 Cause things tough, tough, tough, tough, tough
