Bad Reputation

[Chorus:]
Ghetto yute trivilation
We get a bad reputation
But mi nah stop hustle fi d paper
Society nuh ask mi nuh question.
Mi a ask as a ghetto yute
Please listen my situaton

Weh u expect mi fi do

[Verse 1:]

Mi ah hustle and feds jus ah collar man
Mi afi get mi hand nurture fi a set a plan
So by nex year mi can be a better man
Ghetto yute affi wise like soloman
