[Intro]
Long time we fi talk dem ting yah too, enuh
Tough tough
Yeah man, a tough ting
Product of the ghetto, enuh
Str8
Ha

[Verse 1]
Hey
Tired fi people judge we
Support the ghetto youth sometimes, that's lovely
Man never born inna luxury
Nowadays it hard fi decide who love me
Give dem every day, dem love see
If you no give dem one day, face ugly
Dem road yaso dark and lumpy
Me no trust you if you no trust me
Hmmm
Mi Psalms dem always load up
Fi the monster dem weh a...Satan product
Me pray to the Most High, Most High yeah
Pray to the Most High, Most High yeah

[Chorus]
Oh God, watch over I life (Watch over I, enuh, str8)
Holy Emmanuel I, Selassie I!
'Cause the system no care fi we young child
Dem brand we badman lifestyle
Who ago save dem from rapist weh done spoil?
God and Selassie I!
[Verse 2]
Tired fi bomb a drop like Navy
Babies still a have baby
Nuff youth still a live inna slavery
Mentally challenged, behaving shaky
Mentally exhausted daily
Subjects weh we get a school still fail we
Nuff of we a music save we
Otherwise we run like Alain Bailey
Some of dem is physically challenge
It's like dem brain cell damaged
The system design bere robbers and thief 'cause nobody no waan plant cabbage
Bere teenager a turn savage
Say dem love watch the news when Dorraine count body's
Mi Psalms dem married
Me learn that a street side college

[Chorus]
Oh God, watch over I life (Watch over I, enuh, str8)
Holy Emmanuel I, Selassie I!
'Cause the system no care fi we young child
Dem brand we badman lifestyle
Who ago save dem from rapist weh done spoil?
God and Selassie I!

[Verse 3]
Me pray to the Most High, Most High yeah
Pray to the Most High, Most High yeah
Good behaving youth weh pass him exam
End up with a long life sentence
Everyday dem a walk with M1
Yet, still dem 'fraid of the jailhouse entrance
Everyday inna the ghetto is a peril
Sometimes man waan run go Brazil
Mi mother tell me she don't waan go weh
"Give your life to the Lord, Andre and Squidel"
So much of mi thugs dem gone, man a rebel
Too bad these tings cyan wash with towel
Careful of some demon gyal when you go bed
Dem will trick you up like Skatta Burrell
[Outro]
Oh God, watch over I life, yeah...
