Lyrics:

[Intro: Chronixx]
Where you gonna run now that the Gideon start?
(Where you gonna run now that the Gideon start?)
When all the money that you rob from ghetto yutes ain't enough to fly you to Mars?
The system you defend start break down like Lego and
The whole world becomes a ghetto
That's when you'll realize

[Chorus]
The whole a wi a ghetto people
Ghetto people
Suh tell mister boasty slave don't forget the people
Ghetto people, ghetto people
Call dem all
Remember Haile Selassie never left the people
No time at all, not even an inch

[Verse 1: Chronixx]
Gimmi a pound a the macka height and no grabber
Mek mi cool and satta pon the riddim proper
Every youth top shotta part the zig zagger
Mek mi show you what a clock a strike in a Jamrock yah
Politician dem a chat a tongue sharp like macka
Dem nuh no vision dem a scammer
Wi a wave the banner
Wa kind a honor unuh naw treat the youth wid honor
Mek mi show unuh a vibes
Nuh true yo living up town when the banks fall down
Then the whole a wi a ghetto youths
A me poor you rich but when the pole shift
Then the whole a wi a ghetto youths
And me black, you white, but when famine strike
Then the whole a wi a ghetto youths
On that day when you trade yo Rolls Royce for a grain of rice
That's when you realize seh

[Chorus]
The whole a wi a ghetto people
Ghetto people
Suh tell mister boasty slave don't forget the people
Ghetto people, ghetto people
Call dem all
Remember Haile Selassie never left the people
No time at all, not even an inch

[Verse 2: Chronixx]
Warning to all the future leaders
Dem don't treat the youths like a different creature dem
Seek a friend before you need a friend
Those children in the streets a wi teacher dem
Future soldiers and politician
But a bet you cannot seet
Mek mi adjust yo folly vision
Yo eyes blurred by the guns and ammunition
Suh mek mi show unnu a vibes
When the night turn day
White house turn grey
Then the whole a wi a ghetto youths
And me walk you drive
But when there's no oil
Then the whole a wi a ghetto youths
And when you cyaa tell Liguanea different from Tivoli
Then yuh si seh wi a ghetto youths
When you cant tell Havendale from Downtown Parade
Then a then you realize seh the whole a wi

[Chorus]
The whole a wi a ghetto people
Ghetto people
Suh tell mister boasty slave don't forget the people
Ghetto people, ghetto people
Call dem all
Remember Haile Selassie never left the people
No time at all, not even an inch
