Rise up this morning
Da first thing dat i heard
Was some devastating news yeahh uh
Just like my friend his life was taken away
Not by natural causes but by other man
We all know time is ours in the ghettos
But it's not the ghettos so long
So ghetto youths
Keep ya calm and keep it cool
Don't let no one come boast u up
And turn u inna fool
Keep ya calm and keep it real
Cus anything u want in life yu can achieve

Are'nt u tired of living in
Their fucked up system
Cus all i can see round us
Is poor people as da victims (victims)
Are'nt u tired of living in

And nah dem to dem dutty station

Just like my friend his life was taking away
Not by natural causes, no but by anotha man
