Born And Raised - Mavado

Rasta

Wooy

No, no one

No one feel our pain

It driving the poor insane, insane

Me a talk 'bout the poor, the poverty and the pressure

Can’t tek it no more, too much youth 'pon stretcher

Dem no really want fi see d ghetto youth dem richer

So dem plan fi kill we out and tek we out a the pitcher

Ghetto youths, don’t be no snitcher

Ghetto girls jus' be wise and don’t be no bitcher

Keep your eyes on the prize and on the star that glitter

Keep your head and get a job I don’t you sitta

'Cause I’m not from this place, you know I’m just a visitor

And to how me see the race a run, it’s gon' be bitter

For the strongest a the strongest and the fit a the fitter

I was born and raised to be no quitter

I was born and raised enuh

In the ghetto for years and years enuh

My people cry tears and tears enuh

No food for days and days enuh

I was born and raised enuh

In the ghetto for years and years enuh

No food for days and days enuh

My people cry tears and tears enuh

They ask where I’ve been

I said I’ve never been shopping

All I see is a coffin

Don’t ask 'bout shot him

It’s just the way of the system

They eradicate every victim

Just keep the faith, I’m insisting

All my beautiful people, are you listening

I was born and raised enuh

In the ghetto for years and years enuh

My people cry tears and tears enuh

No food for days and days enuh

I was born and raised enuh

In the ghetto for years and years enuh

No food for days and days enuh

My people cry tears and tears enuh

No one feels our pain

(No one feels our pain that we’re feeling)

(Pain, that we’re feeling)

It driving the poor insane, insane, yeah

(You can never know, if only God reveals it)

It’s getting to my brain

(It's getting to my brain)

('Cause no else can feel the pain)

And the bigger heads dem talk we things, just the same

(Only talk about the change)

(Everything remains the same)

I was born and raised enuh

In the ghetto for years and years enuh

My people cry tears and tears enuh

No food for days and days enuh

I was born and raised enuh

In the ghetto for years and years enuh

No food for days and days enuh

My people cry tears and tears enuh
