Nuff a dem too young Fi deh a road a wash car window

But mamma deh a yard no food Fi eat

There's no retreat that's why dem affi touch di street yeh

Not even hand down Fi him likkle brother dem

Cause him trousers dem Juss run thread again

Every youth waah dem own villa

Every youth waah earn money suh dem afford dem own dinner
