Ay, Ay
Pop Skull and Dre Skull
Tell di youth dem fi live life careful, cah

Dog eat dog inna di place where me grow up
Whole heap ah stitch up and sow up
Man have rifle weh mek blood run like syrup
All who no dead get lock up

Badness ah di only thing me know
Give thanks fi music, cah
If ah never music
Me woulda have mi ting dem daily ah use it
Badness ah di only thing me know
Give thanks fi music, cah
When me a 'tep
Me a boy weh nuh walk with less than three clip

So me ah, teach dem the right ting
No man life no license
Ghetto yute stay far from horizon
You must help yuh father, surprise him
Watch di pagan dem with yuh eye, king
Dem will kill you when you're rising
Badmind you fi Vikings
Dem waan' take your life, but
Di best thing for me
Take care ah me thugs and mi family
Ghetto youth haffi shake down the money tree
Most time inna court guilty we plea

Badness ah di only thing me know
Give thanks fi music, cah
If ah never music
Me woulda have mi ting dem daily ah use it
Badness ah di only thing me know
Give thanks fi music, cah
When me a 'tep
Me a boy weh nuh walk with less than three clip, chuh!

Whole heap a threat Poppy get
No fear, never fret
The Kel to the TEC
Make dem can't stop mi breath
'Pon the battlefield, we no soft like Yvette
Work hard fi me things 'til me sweat
So ghetto yute, make money
Take care ah yuh mommy and yuh daddy
Dem street 'yahno love nobody
From me a grow a bare dead body

Dog eat dog inna di place where me grow up

All who no dead get lock up

Badness ah di only thing me know
Give thanks fi music, cah
If ah never music
Me woulda have mi ting dem daily ah use it
Badness ah di only thing me know
Give thanks fi music, cah
When me a 'tep
Me a boy weh nuh walk with less than three clip
