[Intro:]
Stop judge all di ghetto yute now
Dun know seh we dey hustle hard
Big up to every fallen soldier

[Verse: 1]
As we dey start dis thing
Dem seh, wi nuh go reach no where
Dem dey judge me by mi clothes and rasta hair
When wi step up to dem, dem seh na-na-na-na-namɔ nɛ?
We sit inna de ghetto and police come to arrest
Adey go radio stations dem seh jey jɛmɛ jɛmɛ jɛmɛ
Ano dey lie oo ask Bone, ask Stone and Keche
But mi I say ago hit straight inna dem face
True story now dem wonder how wi just ah do it

[Hook:]
Man'ah neighbourhood hero
Man'ah a neighborhood hero
Control di south and wi control di north
I am a neighbourhood hero
I am a neighbourhood hero
Big up every ghetto yute inna di ghetto
I am a neighborhood hero
I am a neighborhood hero
Dem wonder how di ghetto yute ah rise to di top
Real neighborhood hero
Real neighborhood hero
Big up all mi shattas and big up all ah mi thugs

[Bridge]
Well it so sad
The truth is hard to find

But wi dem all ah fight
Ah wi dem ah fight

Dem wonder how wi rise higher

[Verse 2:]
See everyday Shatta still ah do di road
After ten years dem see me dem seh me abi ghost

Me and my manager make sure seh we collect every dough
Because of badmind so I buy pow-pow
And adey hear some people say Shatta Wale be too known
