LYRICS:
Ghetto Cycle
Say he was born in the 80's
Life was hard from he was a little baby
His daddy was in jail and his muma was crazy
From the start he never have safety
Him a turn 7 start walk himself to school
He soon find out his muma was a fool
In class he never gwan feel cool
Just a little quiet boy who follows all the rules
School finish and everyone else run to muma and papa
No one was there when things gwan matter
When he reach yard and the door it a lock off
Babylon come and lock up him muma
But to him say that’s just another day
He knows it’s not right but what can he say
Everything him try and say his muma slap him in his face
Scared in a house where he sleeps everyday
But that just how it is
Wake up every morning pon him dirty mattress
How can he learn to give if he never gets
Yeah the ghetto cycle that’s what he's livin'in, that’s what he’s livin' in
Ghetto cycle
Life can be hard, livin inna Babylon back yard we livin in the
Ghetto cycle
Say no matter where you are when it gets tuff you have to carry on
You know it is the
Ghetto cycle
Headfull of stress ghetto ago put you to the test
Yes you know it is the
Ghetto cycle
You can make it out don’t let the ghetto cycle bring you down
Know let’s move forward now this little bruddas 15
His muma na change though still gwan like a feen
But this little bruddas change now
Fighting in the playground
nothing nice to say now
Because of what him see
Everyday he watches muma waste her life away
He knew from the start he didn’t wanna live this way
So he started hussling
Little money comin in
His belly stop rumbling
But still he feel the pain
Yes say 6 years passed not this bruddas 21
Been hustling for 6 years and gone and copped himself a gun
Now the people fraid of him like he is a monster man
It’s the first time him feel respect from anyone
It’s not respect but it can seem similar
To someone who’s never had respect from anyone
Now he’s moving reckless with it
Jack a bruddas necklace with it
Now him get arrested with it
Now my bruddas done
CHORUS
The judge gave him 8 years he got out in 5
Could of got out in 4 but he didn’t play nice
And him come back to the ghetto and it don’t feel right
Everybody screw face him when he walk by
You know he’s back to having nothing
No money in his pocket no food in the cupboard
Him na talk to his muda
She left with another fella
So him sit up in the park and just open up a Stella
This is ghetto life this is ghetto living
It’s been like that from the start so he don’t know no different
He look pon his bredrins yard
Then he start to hit it
Then he robbed up the yard now then bredrins wanna kill him
So he had to move away
Because he has no choice
He met one girl and they had one boy
He wasn’t there from the start and it gwan break my heart
That this poor little baby never gwan stand a chance
But you have to carry on
Because you can make it out
Big up all the ghetto yute dem inna the drought
Love and unity you know I shout that loud
Ghetto cycle we have to break that down
CHORUS
