Life in the ghetto is not easy When you have money, know who to give it
When you're down, none is nowhere around And when you're up, them always love
So when you make it, try don't get broke
Me know me friend, different from me enemy, dem me know me friend
Me friend dem from way back when, me know me friend
Who nah forsake me again, me know me friend
People weh no stop tell dem what dem a talk But me still nah matter dem what dem a chat
Well a dem a chat me and me friend, the race is long
Yo, we a till down inna the end, we a go see
Who and who mass a gather can dem
Not for flash, like when paper touch pen
Some a screw, but also some a wrinkle and bend
Me know me friend, different from me enemy, dem me know me friend
Me sa smart deal with dem
Know your dem friend, know which one a dem
Which one to give you money, which one to spend
Consum only cons, pay problems
Gah Britain, people don't know seh a me friend
Shabba Rang, everybody know seh a me friend
Ninja man, people don't know seh a me friend
Dem heart clean, baby weh nah spar with dem

Yeah weh me a tellin, 13 a dem from your heart clean
You know seh me and you a good friend
Me and Mr. Scott a lick up bad man, we owe dat dem
Everywhere you turn, someone you let off
Everywhere you go, dem a talk bout cash
Everywhere you go, some is just a money friend
All dem cause is fear of them
If you want know your friend, drop and pretend like you're dead
You wouldn't hear, remarks a pass over your head
Oh you a fool, when you check it out a dem a fool
A me sa smart, and be able weh come through road with a gun

We friend dem from way back when, we know we friend
Who now pass get quick again, we know we friend
Be able weh no stop tell dem the real one
Life in the ghetto, is not easy
When you have money, know who to give it
When you're down, none is nowhere around
And when you're up, dem always enough
So when you make it, try don't get broke

Some is just a man me friend
Some is just a man me friend
Well dem a talk, but me still not matter
Dem dem a chat, all a dem a chat me and me friend
