This a survival story

Verse 1:
I remember those days when hell was my home
When me and mama bed was a big piece of foam
And me never like bathe an' me hair never comb
When mama gwaan a work me go street an' roam
I remember when Danny dem take me snow cone
And mek him likkle bredda dem kick up Jerome
I remember when we visit dem wid bare big stone
An' di bwoy Danny pop out some'n well full chrome
I remember when we run Fatta get him knee blown
An' mi best friend Richie get two inna him dome
I remember so di avenue turn inna war zone
An' Mickey modda fly him out cau' she get a loan
But Mickey go to foreign an' go turn Al Capone
Mek whole heap of money a send in our own
Now a we a lock di city an' dat is well known
Yesterday Mickey call me pon me phone

Hook:
We get di ting dem, dem outta luck now
We squeeze 7 an' di whole a dem a duck now
We have whole heap a extra clip cau' we nuh bruk now

We get di ting dem so dem haffi rate we
Cau' we a tek it to dem wicked of lately
An' now di whole community a live greatly
Raagh Raagh Raagh Raagh

Verse 2:
I remember 'bout '80 Jamaica explode
When a trinity a Tony yo wid dem a run road
Dat a long B4 lang dem an' even bigger Ford
When Adams dem a corporal nuh know di road
I remember when we rob di China shop dung di road
An' rumor have it seh di China man have a sword
But we di have a one pop weh mek outta board
So yuh know di next day mama pot overload
I remember when we stick di poll clerks
An' dump di ballot box pon Tivoli outskirts
An' hol' a plane ticket an' go chill over Turk's
When me come back I still inna di hole me a lerks
I remember those days when informer Dirks
Get one inna him face an' me nuh get nuh perks
Cau' di bigger heads dem are a couple of jerks
Cau' a dem a make di money when a we mash di works

Verse 3:

An' me hear seh T di dead deh but him seh him wasn't
Anytime me fly down him a get 'bout dozen cau'
