GHETTO Lyrics

Aje pako ni wa

Awa o je butter

Owo co-operative

La fi lo le iwe

We never had a tap

Ile kefa la tin pon mi

But when stand and talk

No one can decipher this

When I stand and talk

Everyone is mesmerized

Although I may be a little rough on the edges

But I know who I am

I'm a survivor

You see in the ghetto

Only the strong they survive o

We don't even look like what we've been through

Thank God say we survive o

You see in the ghetto

Little children dem dey hustle

Talent dey waste everyday o

But we made it yes we survived

You see where I come from

We used to pray for everything

We prayed for school bags

And we prayed for school shoes

We prayed that one day

We'd have a coloured television

That one day we'd buy our own refrigerator

That one day we'd buy our own generator

You may look at me and think that I'm an unbeliever

But I know who I am

I'm a survivor

You see in the ghetto

Only the strong they survive o

We don't even look like what we've been through

Thank God say we survive o

You see in the ghetto

Little children dem dey hustle

Talent dey waste everyday o

But we made it yes we survived

So mummy don't cry

Daddy don't cry

Your little girl is gonna be a super star

Mummy don't cry

Daddy don't cry

Your little boy is gonna be a super star

A pe ko to jeun

Ko ni je 'baje

Bo pe bo ya o

Akololo a pe baba

So brother stay strong

Sister stay stay strong

Anyway anyhow

One day e go better

Brother stay strong

Sister stay strong o

Have a little faith one day e go better

Have a little patience one day e go better

E go better for me and you

We go live the life we want

One day e go better

E go better for me and you

All my ghetto soldiers

Let's be assured that one day e go better

E go better oooo

E go better

One day e go better
