Ghetto Boy Lyrics - Bounty Killer

(Intro) 

They do more to the people than for the people They crash the economy like a vehicle 

Seh dem a don and dem a dupes and dem a dadda 

Inna the heart of the youths dem future yuh stick a dagger Let's do this brother 

Once I was a little child 

Little things that make me smile 

But quickly I became a man 

A don put a gun into my hand 

Told me that I could live or die 

I didn't know the reason why 

But my gun became my toy 

The story of the ghetto boy 

Ghetto boy, ghetto boy, 

the story of the ghetto boy, ghetto boy, ghetto boy 

the story of the ghetto boy (Verse 1) 

Well, the story of a ghetto boy 

Who the don give the gun and think him get a toy 

So him deploy in the street to set a better joy 

But now him buck up the police and him regret a choice Death is what him get a tise 

Story of a ghetto youth 

Who the don give the gun and seh yuh better shot 

If yuh want to wear a better suit yuh want fi drive a coupe Wear a couple gold chain and sleep with couple prostitute Dem future yuh a prosecute 

No don cyah tell I nuttn or press I button 

Mi a gwaan eat mi greens if mi cyah buy mutton 

Mi nuh red eye or glutton fi no gyal or guy supm 

No hold di fate so till the gate Jah seh fi I must open 

We nuh waan see Andrew Holnes, we nuh waan see Portia 

NCB mi waan fi see and Scotia 

... and JP, both a dem a joker 

But mi proud a ghetto mi come outta 

(Verse 2) 

Mi tell dem, ghetto we ghetto we nuh change we ways Yuh violate man a nd a grains a blaze 

Anywhere the food deh man ago go for 

Naw suffer, caw man a look fi greater days 

Suppose mi tell yuh seh we go fi food anywhere 

And we nuh fraid a no jail or cemetery 

We bring heat to the streets all front a police 

Still a mek step to the enemy 

We mek the eagle fly high mek dem see that 

Dem see that, anything drop dem know a we that 

Front page pon every news network 

Menace to society the world seh a we that 

House and car everybody need that 

A no every ghetto boy out deh a idiot 

Any means necessary man a pree that 

From a little tot mi head real hot 

(Verse 3)
