True - Mavado

Money cyaa buy life

Money cyaa buy health

Money cyaa buy respect

You haffi know real wealth

Nuff a dem fall because dme too hype

And dem waan pick the fruits and the fruits never ripe

God a you turn the day in a night

And a you fight all a mi fight

Man a run through struggle wid all a mi might

You nuh si a nothing wi a come from

Ghetto youth a one wi a count from

Yeah wi proud weh wi come from

And wi could a never watch dem assumption

Nothing nuh come easy

Wi fight fi everything

And yes I’ve seeing the rising and the fall of many king

So when mi wake up a Jah mi gi the glory

And mi survive the real ghetto story

Never meck rich life control mi

If mi fall heaven angels hold mi

Mi reminiscing pon the past time

Mi use to buy a slice a bread wid mi last dine

Bare foot a go a school when a class time

Never know mi would a be the man wid the boss dine

Mi drink yes, and mi floss mine

But mi never put mi hat weh it cyaa find

Mi dash a fire in a the last line

Cause am on the rock, the pinnacle dem cyaa find

You nuh si a nothing wi a come from

Ghetto youth a one wi a count from

Yeah wi proud weh wi come from

And wi could a never watch dem assumption
