Ghetto Paradise

You living the life in the ghetto paradise
 You living that life in the ghetto paradise
 Mi nuh know how mi survive the hardship weh in ya
 Life never sweet like ah chocolate vanilla
 Train line mi born mi nuh born inna villa
 Lickle monkey watch how you ah talk to Gorilla
 Cah, the government buy arms give the killer
 Two party ah flex like a party dem inna
 Accepting presents from foreign government
 Weh still ah fool dem and a school dem and a khaki dem in
 Good god of Moses and Rodney the Killer
 Poor people fed up and we can't sim simmer
 Can hardly survive as a blasted singer
 Much less a baller who is a rahtid winger
 Have a right foot like a David Villa
 Him mother still ah sell inna market
 Jamrock is a precious stone still it's far from a diamond
 Take it from I man
 Even though Jamaica nice
 You gotta live to save your life
 After the sunset comes the darkness of the night
 Better open up your eyes
 You've gotta read between the lines
 Living in the ghetto paradise
 Jamaica spiritually irie
 Pretty and it nice
 Still a ghetto paradise and mi nah apologise
 It Slippery and it slidey
 Di government ah lie
 Dem trick we and dem buy we
 Di chicken and di fries
 Spend a lickle of your time
 You giggle and you smile
 But even if you try
 You couldn't live some ah we life
 Riverton ah bun, di lickle pickney dem a cry
 Di chubby bottle dem ah pile up on the river side
 And den you talk how Jamaica sweet
 Wah sweet you will rotten your teeth
 And in the streets it nuh nice and easy
 Shot a beat, ghetto youths can't sleep
 And then they talk how Jamaica nice
 You say you living in a paradise
 Poverty whistle like a Christmas breeze, yeah
 You better take my foolish advice
 Even though Jamaica nice
 You gotta live to save your life
 After the sunset comes the darkness of the night
 You better open up your eyes
 And read between the lines
 When you're living in the ghetto paradise
 Survival
 Only the fittest
 Shall make it out of this jungle alive
 Survival
 Jah is my witness
 The darkest hours of the night is just before daylight
 And even though Jamaica nice
 You gotta live to save your life
 After the sunset comes the darkness of the night
 You better open up your eyes
 Gotta read between the lines
 When you're living in the ghetto paradise
 Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
 Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
 Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
 Living in the ghetto, ghetto paradise
 When you livin' in the...
 Good
