THEM GOT ME HOLDING DOWN (REPEAT 4-X)
THEM GOT ME HOLDING DOWN A SPLIFF
INNA MEH HAND AGAIN
WANT TO SEE ME TURN AROUND
AND BURN THEE EDEN
SEEMS THIS LIFE STYLE I LIVE
WILL NEVER CHANGE AGAIN
YOUTHS A ACT LIKE THEY WANT TO PLAY AGAIN
AND WHAT I SAY ITS LIKE I SAY
I DON’T REPEAT AGAIN
IF YOU EVER MET ME
YOU WOULD HAVE KNOW ME FRIEND
ONE MOTHER MISSING FATHER , FIVE CHILDREN
LIVING IN AMERICA AIN’T BAG NO HEAVEN
SLEEPIN ON A GARBAGE BAG IN ONE APARMENT
SO YOU COULD PICTURE THEE TYPE A PLACE I GREW UP IN
WHERE YOUTH’S HUSTLE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR BUILDING
AND AIN’T NOBODY EVER SAYING NOTHING
CAUSE THEE FIRST ONE WHO TALK’S
SEE HIS FAMILY MOURNING
NOW WHO GONNA SAY THAT I’M WRONG LIVING
I WONDER IF JAH WILL BE TYPE FORGIVING
THERE’S A MILLION OF US WHO NEED TYPE BLESSING
WHO AIN’T GOT IT GOOD LIKE THEM OTHER CHILDREN
WHO WAKE UP EVERYDAY AND GOT TEN HAND TO FEED THEM
ME I ONLY GOT ONE THING TO BELIEVE IN
IS HAPINESS FOR THEE GHETTO CHILDREN
