Ghetto Youths Rise
Yuh nuh show di ghetto yute nuh love
An a wonder why dem shed di blood
Seems like dem life has been wasted
Is only blood
Sweat and tears they have tasted
And everyday, di yutes dem face death
Inna di garrison dem deh bo yah
Mi nuh see nuh smiling face yet
Di yutes dem frustrated
Suh dem a show less love and more hatred
But now-a days the gift of life nuh sacred
A bere mislead juvenile mi see
A run di place red
Ghetto yutes rise
And realize keep yuh eyes pon di prize
Doh believe none a dem lies
Ghetto yutes rise
And realize when a ghetto yute dies
A tear drops (full up mi eyes)
Ghetto yutes rise
And realize keep yuh eyes pon di prize
Doh believe none a dem lies
Ghetto yutes rise
And realize when a ghetto yute dies
A tear drops
Di garrison fi link up like
Coach dem pon train nuh fire nuh more gun
Fi dem political campaign
Stop fight di terf war fi corners and lane
And tek heed to life teachings
And what it contains
Then fi vanity weh smaller than sand grain
Man a cut di baby throat and
Shot out the old oman brain
Mi nah sell out nuh matter how di journey hot
Even when five a wi a share and
A one dumpling inna di pot mi stand firm
Ghetto yutes rise
And realize keep yuh eyes pon di prize
Doh believe none a dem lies
Ghetto yutes rise
And realize when a ghetto yute dies
A tear drops (full up mi eyes)
Ghetto yutes rise
And realize keep yuh eyes pon di prize

Ghetto yutes rise
And realize when a ghetto yute dies
A tear drops (full up mi eyes)
Nuh love nah spread mi see pere bloodshed
And mi know that's not the
Way di yute was bread
"Mi nuh tek nuh talk" that's what Omar said
Yesideh mi receive a call seh Omar dead
Him mada bawl, she bawl, she bawl
She hol har head hug up di body
Har blouse become the color red
Mi nah goh tek di breath weh
God give on to men
Mi nah goh mek because a mi him
Pickney dem nah goh see him again
Mi nah deweet
