In the Ghetto

Look how the man them sit up pon the sidewalk

A set out them business

The woman them

Some with little children

See how they spread out

And it's the start of another day

That's how they work to get their pay

And they're trying to do their best

Each and every day

They'll sell you this

They'll sell you that

Goods

Cash

Delivery on the spot

They juggle among

Thieves and killers

Who sometimes rob

Or shoot a higgler

Police and soldiers in the area

Man a run up and down because of fear

Sah

Who is gonna control the situation

It's getting out of hand

There must be some way to hold it down

Just the other day the man them satta

Pon the corner

Robber move through

And take them off guard sah

So they juck down a higgler

And rob him of him goods sah

They live pon the people them

Like when john crow swarm dead meat

They cut off the lady finger

Just to take her ring sah

Wa kind a thing that you a deal with

Whoa yea

Can't go so way
