Verse 1:
How comes the babylon a talk bout all the gun things
Fi down
When dem a stop the hustling and mek nuh dollars nah run
Di youth dem have a tendacy fi tun to dem gun

Well dem haffi wear the latest brand wey come down
Ghetto boys and ghetto girls dem just want to have fun
To big up all the people who sell a arcade
Most a dem a ghetto people and dem people dem nuh fraid
But wha happen to teh youths dem wey can't buy nuh stall

Long time ago back in a kingston city
Life was hard but now the life silly

Life is harnony, life is freedom, life is long love
