When the system no create no job
Weh yuh expect ghetto youths fi have

When the people a hustle in the streets

Ooh.. times getting rough, times get slow
And we feel like letting go!
When we fee like letting go, letting go, yeah
Ooh.. you try your best,
You still can't find a way to fill your needs

And change up him whole profile
A now blood run like river Nile, yes
