lyrics

Yuh Bost & Bim,
Tell me How do you feel,
When you hear Michael Bundi Buss D RiddiM
So mi wake up every morning drink up a tea,
Thank Jah mi wake Up and the LandLord Nuh Here, Mi nuh pree nuh rich man nuh pree mi brejrin,
A suh we survive in a Badman setting,
CHORUS
Yeah We living a Ghetto life, where d gunshots buss all night, Yeah We Living a Ghetto Life, life end if your head too bright,
VERSE 1
Cause D whole system full a f-Jere Dem nuh listen to the ghetto plea, Kila siku kelele mingi,
Na Kutaka mapesa mingi,
Ndo maana vijana wanasuffer real things, Ndo maana wizi imekuwa mingi,
Ghetto life is never easy,
Sometimes huwezi pata hata shillingi,
CHORUS VERSE 2
Yeah we Living a Ghetto Life, When you sleep turn off your house
light,
Yeah we Live in a Ghetto Life, If you smart yuh fi play your cards
right,
GHETTO LIFE (Michael Bundi, Bost & Bim)
INTRO

Na siezi hata bonga stori ya government, Juu ni wenyewe wanatukandamiza, MaYuts wanakufa daily,
Poverty inawamaliza,
Say we living a Ghetto Life,
(“Haijalishi no matter what may come,
Ghetto youths ah go rise up and conquer Babylon”) X2
OUTRO
Chunga usimadwe na manjege ukiiba pale
