Yow, bredda, wha gwaan?
Link Council and tell dem seh we ah forward

Stay real to mi bredda 'cau mi nah nuh friend
In the Streets of Jamaica, uh huh
Where di tugs dem nuh cater, oh Lord
In the Streets of Jamaica, uh huh
Where di tugs dem nuh cater, oh Lord
(Check)
(Yow Yow)
I'm known for the bars and the crazy flows (Steez)
Bumrush shows, hijack the radio (Uh huh)
You never heard of me, I bet your lady know (ha ha)
Par wid us, we always blazing dro
Soldiers from Cuba, tings from Haiti though (What)
On the highway to Mobay, we don't pay the toll (Nope)
My word worth its weight in gold
Rap apostle with the gospel that will save your soul (Hallelujah)
The streets is hostile, the Chiney K will blow (Blow)
Leaders getting rich while the people staying po' (Jah know)
I'm laying low at Maven or Haining Road
I don't move for anybody unless they saying dough (Moula)
Kingston city taught me ways and codes
Land of wood and water, try to stay afloat (JA)
High grade we smoke, looking for the rays of hope
It's still f the police and slay the pope (Yeah)
In the Streets of Jamaica, uh huh
Where di tugs dem nuh cater, oh Lord
In the Streets of Jamaica, uh huh
Where di tugs dem nuh cater, oh Lord
The boss go rise back and in a top form
Man a don inna the streets and every platform

So stop gwaan
Real shella like bobby skeng

Man Unruly like Popcaan
Crocs nuh inna chattings

Whe Nah go hitch up inna fish farm
Nah go sell you soul up inna babylon
Jus Fi get a fraction
Dis a fi di people
dirty wata get splash pon
Pick dem self up

When food inna di street

all 30 years now
Bungo still a push di grass cart
True dem neva know

From ah god ina you heart
Den you life it ago transform
In the Streets of Jamaica, uh huh
Where di tugs dem nuh cater, oh Lord
In the Streets of Jamaica, uh huh
Where di tugs dem nuh cater, oh Lord
Yow, uhh
Yow
Blocks burning, cops swerving
Guns bursting, incursions, the clocks turning (Tick tick tick)
The dollar worsen, we want pound sterling (We want it)
Uptown pretty, opportunity discerning (Uh)
The youths not learning (Nah), bigger heads not concerning
Dem canโt stop splurging the funds
I stand firm and, watch how mi stocks earning
Yard ah mi place but a place mi couldnโt earn in (I couldn't)
It hurting, Iโm yearning to come back to the place
Wha mi did learn in (right), exterminate all vermin
Before it get outta hand, we all start purging
Police extorting the dance when we have permit
It not worth it, anytime yu waa burst it
Yu lock curtains pon a hearse with dead persons (Lock down)
I ainโt tryin to preach like this a sermon
But our wounds need nursing, outside of churches
It ain't no fashion night if the six pants strike
Have couple Adidas, nuh ask if dat stripe
Each shoe got extended laces, fight for supremacy
Over the white like we met with racists (Uh huh)
Planet of the apes that was kept in cages
Banana clips in crates, sent from agents (Whoo)
Couple speng shells disrespect the pavement
Bredda, we chat truth when we step on stages (Right)
Event creation preventing the ventilation (Uh huh)
Gasping for air, drop a smash every year
Fracture your ego just like a glass chandelier (Yeah)
Bombs on the roof, show your ceiling the truth
Use economic crisis mostly for teaching the youth (Uh huh)
Either feast or famine if the season improve (Right)
These are the roots for the visa pursuit (Uh huh)
Foreign exchange 'til you par in a Range
But you don't really need a car to be a star in your lane (Nah)
You don't need Kalashnikovs to start a war in Ukraine (Nah)
Propaganda put the scar in your brain
So, now, you probably won't be arming your army the same
Depthy (woo), every time I dead with laugh that resurrect me
So I stay petty like Joe Pesci and flow freshly (Right)
Snipe like Wesley, Nino Brown
All these vampires getting chemo now
In the Streets of Jamaica, uh huh
Where di tugs dem nuh cater, oh Lord
In the Streets of Jamaica, uh huh
Where di tugs dem nuh cater, oh Lord
