Born and Raised Songtext

von Mavado

No one feels our pain
Driving the poor insane

[Verse 1]
Mia tauk bo di poor di pavaty and di presha
Cnt tek it nuh mor ghetto yute pon stretcha
Dem nuh really want fi si d ghetto yute dem richa
Suh dem plan fi kil wi out n tek wi out a di pichta
Ghetto yutes, dnt be no snitcha.
Ghetto girls jus be wyz n dnt be no bitcha.
Keep ur eyes and d prize and on the star dat glitta
Keep ur head and get a job i dnt u sitta.
Cuz im not from dis place u know im just a visita.
N to how mi see di race a run its gon be bitta.
A di stranges a di stranges and the fit a di fitta.
I was borned and raised,
Cudnt be no quitta

I was borned and raised ino.
In di ghetto for years and years ino.
My ppl cry tears and tear ino.
No food for days and days ino.

()
I was borned and raised ino.
In the ghetto for years and years ino .
No fude for days and says ino.
My ppl cried tears and tears ino

[Verse: 2]
It jus d way of the system.
They eradicate and mek victim.
But jus keep d fate im insistin.
All ma beautiful ppl are u listening?
