1 2 put on clothes and shoes
Me say 3 4 den me step out di door
5 6 haffi catch a lift
Cause me have work at 8
And me cant dare be late
9 10 tired of di trend
See me cyant even look forward to di weekend
Work 6 days a week
Have 1 day rest
1 day gone
A more weight pon mi chest
Pon di streets we ah fall
Mommy pon she knees jus a plead and a bawl
Lord have mercy
Seem fi be di call
Life right now
Enuh sweet eeee jus sall
Pon di streets we a fall
Money nah run
Di whole scheme stall
Lahd have mercy
Di yutes dem a ball
Life nuh easy no not all
Life nuh easy
Life nuh easy
Life nuh easy no not all
Pon di streets we fall
Mami pon she knees jus a plead and a bawl
Lahd have mercy
Seem fi be di call
Life right now
Enuh sweet eeee jus sall
Life in the ghetto it no easy
Still a fight on times rough
Ey
Living in the streets it nuh nice
Poverty a gwan
A we haffi pay di price
Three pants one shirt no shoes
Man it tough outta road
Youth man confuse
To make daily news
Say me live inna the ghetto
Me and me madda
Inna the likkle board house
With me likkle sista
The big lumber bed
And di cardboard pillar
And one bottle
2 or 3 throw up inna corna
Me never give up
Never run away
Never give up never run away
Continue work out
Never go low
Cease less
So not sweat
Run from your bro
Promise you will achieve you dont know
And you cant reap what you dont sow
Me never give up
Never run away
Never give up never run away

How dem feel say dem smart
When dem know say dem slick

Yet we fyah nah out
And we will nah bend
Dem kinda antics
Me jus cyant defend
Where is da love

Pon di streets we fall
Mami pon she knees jus a plead and a bawl
Lahd have mercy
Seem fi be di call
Life right now
Enuh sweet eeee jus sall
Pon di streets we a fall
Money nah run
Di whole scheme stall
Lahd have mercy
Di yutes dem a ball
Life nuh easy no not all
Life nuh easy no not all
Life nuh easy no not all

Mami pon she knees jus a plead and a bawl
Lahd have mercy
