Lyrics:

[Intro]
All bad mind people we ah sprinkle dem island dem powda
Anthony B sing
Oy my Lawd!

[Chorus]
See ah ghetto youth ah try
Jus' give 'im di ply
No bad ah fight 'im, no way no high
See ah ghetto youth ah move
GIve ah helpin' onto di groove
No bad ah try fi get 'im out 'im shoes

See ah ghetto ah try
Jus' give 'im di ply
No bad ah fight 'im, no way no high
See ah ghetto youth ah move
Give ah helpin' onto di groove
No bad ah try fi get 'im - Oh Lawd

[Verse 1]
It neva nice
No ghetto man no bu'n in Paradise
An' know every son dey chicken, peas, rice
Gamble resource, get back, and bu'n vice
Fightin' t'ru life, just try to live right
Hypocrite, bad mind, no parasite
Gun ah over man, dem goh b'un bad light
Lawd, dem t'ings 'ey no right

[Chorus]
See ah ghetto ah try
Jus' give 'im di ply
No bad ah fight 'im, no way no high
See ah ghetto youth ah move
Give ah helpin' onto di groove
No bad ah try fi get 'im out 'im shoes

See ah ghetto ah try
Jus' give 'im di ply
No bad ah fight 'im, no way no high
See ah ghetto youth ah move
Give ah helpin' onto di groove
No bad ah try fi get 'im - Oh Lawd

[Verse 2]
Ghetto youth self clean and star
Push handcart, no fall, wash down car
Some elevate demself and become superstars
Some caught up in drugs, some in politics, war
Beggin' fi Tivoli, an' jungle fi poor
Beggin' fi South Side and back to Freeport
Beggin' fi Riverton wan' fi prosper
Portmore mon, stay far from dem war

[Chorus]
See ah ghetto ah try
Jus' give 'im di ply
No bad ah fight 'im, no way no high
See ah ghetto youth ah move
Give ah helpin' onto di groove
No bad ah try fi get 'im out 'im shoes

See ah ghetto try
Jus' give 'im di ply
No bad ah fight 'im, no way no high
See ah ghetto youth ah move
Give ah helpin' onto di groove
No bad ah try fi get 'im out 'im shoes

[Verse 3]
Anthony B come fi teach
Look pon di heights, see how Capleton reach
God Ten Commandment, me wan' to know fi keep
Babylon system turn up youth in a frig
Man ah kill man fi all somet'in to eat
Talkin' to naught, southwest and haste
Please don't catch by di claw of di beast, woy!

[Chorus]
See ah ghetto ah try
Jus' give 'im di ply
No bad ah fight 'im, no way no high
See ah ghetto youth ah move
Give ah helpin' onto di groove
No bad ah try fi get 'im out 'im shoes

See ah ghetto try
Jus' give 'im di ply
No bad ah fight 'im, no way no high
See ah ghetto youth ah move
Give ah helpin' onto di groove
No bad ah try fi get 'im - Oh Lawd

It nevah nice...
