 I'm from a place weh grabba blaze
 More dan weed, di shottaz brave
 Bold and mean, 'K don't conceal
 Gang leaders dem a pave road ask wheel
 Business owners haffi pay local fee
 I'm from a place weh man nuh car bout if a kid when dem a tear out farrid
 Wah mek yuh think di 12 year-old nuh live same place
 Weh some man nuh care bout dem self when it come to crotches
 Him commit all suicide pon di bridge
 Same place inna di ghetto weh di crime neva leff
 Perilous times, desso likkle mind ever stress
 Not even water, di stand pipe neva wet
 When Riverton light yuh betta try test yuh breath

 Nevertheless, ramp wid mi food then yuh dead

 But certain time di vibes sweet like when a party gwine keep
 But dat a if yuh can reach cause if di place nuh mark green
 Then anuh fi yuh campaign

 Think a colour separate di place
 When I'm from di place weh all di baby crave power
 Leaders still a fail, lead yuh to yuh grave
 Do I still have a future?
