[Intro: Tommy Lee]
Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me
Fight against them that fight against me
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help
Free world boss...

[Verse 1]
Mi did born as a discipline child
Never know when I got so wild
Inna di scheme weh di youth dem live
Society nuh do nothing positive
Ghetto youth nah get no justice
Di system nuh provide no work fi we
So di youth look a next alternative
We a smaddy pickney, and we waan money

[Chorus]
Big man don't gimme nuh story
What about poor people glory?
Dem say, it's a criminal zone this
So no love di police nuh show we
Dem waan we pon death row
Watch yuhself enuh ghetto youth
Dem waan we pon death row
Watch yuhself enuh ghetto youth
[Verse 2]
'Round a Sparta 'round a Red Dirt
A nuff youth 'round deh so waan work
'Memba seh dem have pickney fi mind
Society fi have a heart sometime
Nuff gyal have whole heap CXC
Cyan pay fi go UWI, nor UT
Some drop outta school from early
Now she unemployed with a baby

[Chorus]
Big man don't gimme nuh story
What about poor people glory?
Dem say, it's a criminal zone this
So no love di police nuh show we
Dem waan we pon death row
Watch yuhself enuh ghetto youth
Dem waan we pon death row
Watch yuhself enuh ghetto youth

[Verse 1]
Mi did born as a discipline child
Never know when I got so wild
Inna di scheme weh di youth dem live
Society nuh do nothing positive
Ghetto youth nah get no justice, see
Di system nuh provide no work fi we
So di youth look a next alternative
We a smaddy pickney, and we waan money
[Chorus]
Big man don't gimme nuh story
What about poor people glory?
Dem say, it's a criminal zone this
So no love di police nuh show we
Dem waan we pon death row
Watch yuhself enuh ghetto youth
Dem waan we pon death row
Watch yuhself enuh ghetto youth

[Chorus]
Big man don't gimme nuh story
What about poor people glory?
Dem say, it's a criminal zone this
So no love di police nuh show we

Watch yuhself enuh ghetto youth
Dem waan we pon death row
Watch yuhself enuh ghetto youth

[Outro: Choir]

Death row (death row)
Ghetto youth (ghetto youth)
