Ghetto Mi Born lyrics

[Verse 1]

A ghetto mi born and mi nuh feel nuh way
But nuh true me nuh feel nuh way nuh mean mi feel okay
Mi say mi mother neva rich and
Mi nuh feel nuh shame, yeah
And if yuh lose somebody aready mi feel yuh pain

Cause from mi see mi bredda drop
Dawg, mi nuh feel di same
Di mount a tings deh pon mi brain a stress mi day by day
Mi know say mi nuh safe, mi change mi ways and pray
But mi a ask yuh please show mi family mi change, Lord

Nuh wah be a society stray dog
Cause mi know to mi self you inna jail or grave yard
Mi grow inna a system weh a dis wi train fa
Is a do or die so pick yuh grave or play dawg

Mi call it bravery, odda people call it "Ears Hard"
Mi know mi sins a something weh mi guh affi pay fa
The mirror kinda dutty, wipe it off, see a clear glass
And mi look inna the mirror and dat anuh me

[Chorus]
Dat anuh me
Is a monsta dat, dat anuh Neil
A somеbody weh dead aready
Look inna di mirror and dat anuh mе, dat anuh me
And dat anuh me
Is a monsta dat, dat anuh Neil
A somebody weh dead aready
Is a monsta dat, dat anuh me

[Verse 2]
Things kinda clear up but mi coming from a darker place
Weh if yuh f*ck yourself you dead, suh duh nuh masturbate
A man with all a 'K a mask him face an pass yuh gate
A rifle a lift up yah so anuh water rate

John Tom see a crime and guh pass a statement
A John Tom spread di odda day deh
Walk and live, All weh yuh hear, yuh nuh hear seh
Talk and bomboclaat dead suh stay deh

The system 'ave a way fi make civilians fear dem
The 'mount a don weh mi see inna prison nuh fear death
The 'mount a people weh mi put to sleep, God no wake dem
None a mi dawgs dem anuh surgeon but di wull a dem tear head

Mi know mi affi dead, but until dah day deh
Mi wipe di mirror off and see things clearly
Mi look inna di mirror, see a man in the grave, yeah
And a dat scare mi
Cause dat anuh me
[Chorus]

Dat anuh me
Is a monsta dat, dat anuh Neil
A somebody weh dead aready
Look inna di mirror and dat anuh
Me, dat anuh me
And that anuh me
Is a monsta that, that anuh Neil
A somebody weh dead aready
Is a monsta dat, dat anuh me

No, dat anuh me
Is a monsta dat, dat anuh Neil
A somebody weh dead aready
Is a monsta dat, dat anuh me
Dat anuh me
Dat anuh me
Believe mi dawg, dat anuh me
Dat anuh me
