Down In The Ghetto (Stringin' It Together) - Bounty Killer

Well, down inna the ghetto weh the poor nuh have a thing

And the politicians, it’s the gun dem a bring

Hey

And the crack and the coke, them a support the killing

Me check it out, the whole of dem a the same thing

Down inna the ghetto weh the poor nuh have a thing

And the politicians, it’s the gun dem a bring

Hey

And the crack and the coke, them a support the killing

Me check it out, the whole of dem a the same thing

My pocket is weak, my heart is willing

I want of pound of rice, but can’t find a shilling

Can’t buy the chicken back, much less the chicken

Turn left and right, it’s gunshot a fling

Every weh me go it’s wicked song them a sing

Now hear me now queens, and hear me now kings

All over this world, local and foreign

Black and white, me nah prejudice skin

Hear me Mr. Lou, Mr. Wong, and Mr. Chin

To kill another man, what good does that bring?

I feel it so much till cold bump take mi skin

Mi head start to hurt me, and mi eyes dem a spin

Down inna the ghetto where the poor nuh have a thing

And the politicians, it’s the gun dem a bring

Hey

And the crack and the coke, them a support the killing

Me check it out, the whole of dem a the same —

Who give the guns, who give the crack

No-one to take the blame

And a who import the guns and cocaine

And a who innaculate the ghetto youths brain

And mobilize dem inna this Bloodsport game

Say if you want to rich, you haffi kill Shane

And wicked enough to kill him mother Mrs. Jane

Mek dem say you a di wickedest man pon the lane

And if you want you respect fi long like a train

Well you better make shot fall like a rain

You haffi put one foot pon then concord plane

Hey, you better sell twenty kilo of cocaine

Down inna the ghetto weh the poor nuh have a thing

And the politicians, it’s the gun dem a bring

Hey

And the crack and the coke, them a support the killing

Me check it out, the whole of dem a the same —
