[Intro]
This a survival story, True ghetto story
This is my story, Real ghetto story
Hey

[Verse 1: Baby Cham]
I remember those days when hell was my home
When mi an Mama bed was a big piece a foam
An mi never like bathe and my hair never comb
When Mama gone a work mi go street go roam
I remember when Danny dem tek mi snow cone
An mek him likkle bredda dem kick up Jerome
I remember when wi visit dem wid pure big stone
An the boy Danny pop out something weh full chrome
I remember when wi run Fatta get him knee blown
An mi best friend Richie get, two inna him dome
I remember so di avenue tun inna war zone
An Mikey madda fly him out, cause she get a loan
But, Mikey gaa to foreign and go tun Al Capone
Mek whole heap a money and sen in our own
Now a wi a lock the city and, that is well known
Yesterday Mikey call mi pon mi phone
Mi say Mikey.....

[Hook: Baby Cham]
We get di ting dem dem outta luck now
Mi squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
We have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruke no
Rah..Rah..Rah..Rah
Wi get di ting dem, so dem haffi rate wi
Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah…Rah..Rah…Rah

[Verse 2]
I remember bout ‘80, Jamaica explode
When a Trinity and Tony Hewitt dem a run road
That a long before Laing dem and even Bigga Ford
When Adams dem a Corporal nuh know the road code
I remember when we rob the chiney shop down the road
An rumour have it sey di Chineyman have a sword
But wi did have a one pop wey make outta board
So yu know di next day mama pot Overlooaad
I remember when wi skip di poll clerks
An dump di ballot box pon Tivoli outskirts
An hold a plane ticket and go chill over Turks
When mi come back a still inna the hole mi a lurk
I remember those days when informer dirks…
Get one inna him face and mi nuh get nuh perks
And di bigger heads dem are a couple of jerks
Cause a dem a mek di money, when a wi mash di works

[Hook: Baby Cham]
We get di ting dem, dem outta luck now
Mi squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
We have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk no
Rah..Rah..Rah..Rah

[Bridge]
Jamaica get screw, tru greed an glutton
Politics manipulate and press yutes button
But we rich now, so dem cyaa tell man notin
Cuz a we a mek Mama a nyaam Fish an Mutton..Ehhhh

Tru mi dey a foreign now a guy kill me cousin
An mi here sey TD deh dey but him sey he wasn't
Anytime mi fly down him a get bout dozen….Cause…….
