INTRO
It’s a cold world, cold cold world but I’m never going to give in (no, no, no, no)

CHORUS
They’ve been trying to break me down for so many years empty my cup but I’m full again
Ghetto youths can rise again broken wings can fly again
Wishing to see me fail just like a ship dem nuh wan wi fi sail again
Ghetto youths can rise again broken wings can fly again

VERSE 1
Yuh tink a little time dem break mi down wan fi stop mi food from come

Build mi up fi let mi down want mi fall an stumble down
Try and speak yuh words and try to speak without a mumble sound
Times I’ve been lied to comin like a cycle whose to be trust and love is like a bible
Approach mi wid dem kiss and hugs just fi earn a title can’t catch mi slippin enuh cuz mi nuh idle
Dem try to break me down mi ago send dem dem who walk di line mi ago bend dem
Dem who kneel and crawl mi ago mend dem preaching hypocrites we ago end dem
While dem plan up an a wait pon a call this is life tink twice
Mi haffi separate mi self mi na go lie honesty can’t buy

CHORUS

VERSE 2
To much blood a flow up in di streets so much young people life get delete
And crooked politicians dem like fi cheat and people still can’t find food fi eat
Watch dem a move inna di night like anansi a couldn’t ghetto youths dem a call vigilante
Cuz mi response fi everything mi get neva left di tek betta yet move mountains wid di stick mi too crafty
Thief neva love fi si thief wid long bag just a space in time a weh mi stand
A unity mi propose and teach to every man but dem rather si di black chrome inna mi hand
But mi nuh sinna start up as a beginner mi deliver lyrical bullets weh aim to dem brain cause man a
winner
Be careful of di stinga di dawgs wi yam yuh dinner
An nuh mek nobody tell yuh she u cant climb up di ladda
Yuh try fi tell mi but I can’t hear what yuh say now
Yuh try to teach mi but I don’t know what yuh saying now
Try fi tell yuh but yuh turn and walk away now
Try fi teach yuh but yuh turn and run away now

VERSE 1
Mi hate it when yuh seh yuh love but yuh nuh understand enuh
Loyalty yuh seh but yuh not understand di trust
Burn di bridge before yuh cross now yuh lost an out of luck
Precision decision circumstances mek mi strong enuh
Family over everything dem stronger than an iron
Di energy weh yuh deh pon mi nuh deh pon can yuh reckon
Yuh run away abandon yuh breda dem for a second now yuh feel seh di world against yuh like a
competition, eh
A day to day life so mi have to live right mi neva abandon di ship no mi neva tink twice
Just a harsh reality so wi have to divide from di good and di bad we have to make sacrifice again
Mi neva know it wudda come down to this at all situation get sticky an nuttin nuh look pretty
Dem calm and dem witty screwface wid nuh pity but mi know she yuh can mek it out
Live yuh life expecting seh you can’t bleed at all, but you just can’t reach wit yuh negative mind just a
matter of time
In this life of crime that you can’t rewind again

CHORUS
Cause I n I can feel it when you’re breathing

Mi neva know it wudda come down to this at all situation get sticky and nuttin nuh look pretty
Dem calm and dem witty screwface wid nuh pity but mi know she yuh can mek it out
Live yuh life expecting seh you can’t bleed at all, but you just can’t reach wit yuh negative mind just a
