Ghetto Alarm

The youth dem bawl tears and a noone cares!

Cying Cryin Cryin the Ghetto People Crying

It's an alarm this, It a ghetto story
We nah vote it inna star and watch it 'pon TV

You read it inna magazine and
Watch it 'pon movie

Mama she a bawl, sure she well hungry

But daddy him junk and freaky freaky
Dem haffi walk pon the road
And beg food money
While the richman upton a dealing US currency

Now tell me now grown people

Every turn weh me stand me
Only see the junk stand

Live 'pon the street

Mama she a bawl, sure she well hungry

Go feed dem pickney
She send Steve and Johnny fi
Go find dem daddy
But daddy him junk and freaky freaky
Dem haffi walk pon the road
And beg food money
While the richman upton a dealing US currency
