[Sizzla - Did You Ever lyrics]
Who, Mi nuh like how dem a
Treat di ghetto youth dem inno
Chuh!, Woi woi, woi woi woi woi woi
Chuh! (Ghetto youths dem a bawl, long eyewater a fall)
Tell mi if yuh ever walk di
Streets of the ghetto dem before
Fi see who is unsafe from secure
The lifestyle of my people
They fail to recognise
Do you know what it takes
For ghetto people to survive
Did you ever walk through August Town at all
Fi hear the comments of the
People whey a bawl
Wonder what it takes for you to realise
How Riverton city ghetto youths dem survive
Dats why we a king from
Wi dey home inna Africa
Once wi a trod through Rome wi a warrior
Whey wi fi get all now it nuh deliver
Our share unno tek an a dis wi after
When yuh money start rise yuh
Keep yuh secret secure
When it start fall yuh mek
It known to the poor
Soon you'll be coming back for more
All when yuh cup full a wi yuh ignore
Then yuh commenting all the while
About the places we live
Degrade wi lifestyle when yuh make
It what it is
Have reaping violence in many cities
Now I dream to stronghold in many village
Now who will protect those
Who truly want peace
How can we keep the peace when
There is no peace to keep
This time I take no defeat
Oh Lord, Im inclined to stand on my feet
Well then Mr rich
Come offa di poor man's feet
How is it the strong want
To downpress the weak
Without those who clean the sanitary
And sweep the street
Yuh cities would be mucky, yuh nuh see it
Who you, promise the city flation below
Yet it increase everywhere dat we go
Is this the way that yuh love a show
Hurting others and yuh hold on so
Treat di ghetto youth dem inno
Chuh!, Woi woi, woi woi woi woi woi
Chuh! (Ghetto youths dem a bawl, long eyewater a fall)
Tell mi if yuh ever walk di
Streets of the ghetto dem before
Fi see who is unsafe from secure
The lifestyle of my people
They fail to recognise
Do you know what it takes
For ghetto people to survive
Did you ever walk through August Town at all
Fi hear the comments of the
People whey a bawl
Wonder what it takes for you to realise
How Riverton city ghetto youths dem survive
Dats why we a king from

Once wi a trod through Rome wi a warrior
Whey wi fi get all now it nuh deliver
