Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is a survival story, true ghetto story
This is my story, real ghetto story
Hey
[Verse 2]
I remember those days when Hell was my home
When me and mama bed was a big piece a foam
And me never like bathe and my hair never comb
When mama gone a work me go street go roam
[Verse 3]
I remember when Danny then take me snow cone
And make him like bread then kick up Jerome
I remember when we visit them with pure big store
And the boy Danny pop out something when full chrome
[Verse 4]
I remember when we run, Fatta get him knee blown
And mi best friend Richie get, two inna him dome
I remember saw the avenue turn into war zone
And Mickey madda fly him out, cau she get a loan
[Verse 5]
But Mickey go to foreign and go tun Al Capone
Make whole heap a money and sen in our own
Now a we lock the city and that is well known
Yesterday Mickey call me pan mi phone
Me say Mickey
[Verse 6]
Wi get the ting dem
Dem outta luck now
Me squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
We have whole heap a extra clip cau we no broke now
Rah rah rah rah rah
We got the thing them, so them have rate we
Cau we a take it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah rah rah rah rah
[Verse 7]
I remember 'bout eighty, Jamaica explode
When a Trinity and Tony Hewitt them a run around
That a long before Laing them and even Bigga Ford
When Adams them a Corporal no know the road code
I remember when we rob the Chinese shop down the road
And rumor have it say the Chinese man have a sword
But we did have a one pop wey make outta board
So you know the next day mama pot overload
[Verse 8]
I remember when we skip the poll clerks
And dump the ballot box pan Tivoli outskirts
And hold a plane ticket and go chill over Turks
When me come back a still inna the hole me a lurk
I remember those days when informer dirks
Get one inna him face and me nuh get nuh perks
And the bigger heads them are a couple of jerks
'Cause a dem a make the money, when a we mash the works
[Verse 9]
But we get the thing them
Dem outta luck now
Me squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
We have whole heap a extra clip cau we no broke now
Rah rah rah rah rah
We got the thing them, so them have rate we
Cau we a take it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah rah rah rah rah
[Verse 10]
Jamaica get screw, tru greed and glutton
Politics manipulate and press yutes button
But we rich now, so them can't tell man nothin'
Cause a we a make mama a nyaam fish and mutton eh
Over da so make me tellin' you somethin'
Tru me day a foreign now a guy kill me cousin
And me here say TD deh they but him say he wasn't
Anytime me fly down him a get 'bout dozen, cause
[Verse 11]
We got the thing them
Dem outta luck now
We squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
Me have whole heap a extra clip cau we no broke now
Rah rah rah rah rah
We got the thing them, so them have rate we
Cau we a take it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah rah rah rah rah
[Verse 12]
I remember those days when Hell was my home
When me and mama bed was a big piece a foam
And me never like bathe and my hair never comb
When mama gone a work me go street go roam
[Verse 13]
I remember when Danny then take me snow cone
And make him like bread then kick up Jerome
I remember when we visit them with pure big stone
And the boy Danny pop out something when full chrome
[Verse 14]
I remember when we run, Fatta get him knee blown
And mi best friend Richie get, two inna him dome
I remember saw the avenue turn into war zone
And Mickey madda fly him out, cau she get a loan
[Verse 15]

Make whole heap a money and sen in our own
Now a we lock the city and that is well known
Yesterday Mickey call me pan mi phone
[Verse 16]
