Every ghetto youth a winner
A di pain inna mi eyes ya see
Ohh Jah

Definition of a world gone mad
Youths a kill fi get the life weh dem no have
Government a pull a major land grab
Wipe dem batty wid di National Flag
Politician only fight fi dem seat
Bare photo op, dem love fi meet and greet
While likkle pickney fraid fi walk pon street
Human body full a crocodile teeth
Still, we survive through the tension
No benefits nor no pension
Struggle inna every direction
To redemption

Ghetto life is the hardest
But my people aren't Godless
Whether famine or harvest
We give praises regardless
Every ghetto youth a winner

People working for a change of scene
Elevate whole team
Celebrate as the dream take flight
Even when the road get dark
Still, we find that spark
With a heart full of love and light
Health and education
Self determination
Fighting for the basic human rights
When facing sufferation
If there's no way, we make one

Ghetto life is the hardest
But my people aren't Godless
Whether famine or harvest
We give praises regardless
Every ghetto youth a winner

Hardships there are, but Jah land is still green
And the sun it still shines
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
As we learn who we are
We give thanks to be breathing
Even through the toughest of times

Ghetto life is the hardest
But my people aren't Godless
Whether famine or harvest
We give praises regardless
Ghetto life is the hardest
But my people aren't Godless
Whether famine or harvest (Oh Jah)
We give praises regardless
Every ghetto youth a winner
