[Verse 1: Ghetts]
They know my name and got my fingerprints (What else?)
They know my face and even knows where my misses lives (Ah)
And once upon my time, they tapped my phone, blud
So now I gotta change my number weekly, I ain't risking it (Change)
My predicament ain't no pick and mix
Which means life ain't sweet, but it's liquorice (Ah)
Blackness, unaware on its atlas
And that's just the half of it
Watch how dark it gets (Mm)
My nigga Badness said, "Shell down Bowser" (Bah)
Now I'm in the castle with my twelve out
Don't act like you never heard the bell when I was pressing it (Ra-gag-gag-gag-gag-gag)
'Cause I ain't never heard the word "help" sound louder (Help)
You think I'm just another jail bound scrounger?
Shut down the system, melt down alpha (Yeah)
You see the Devil, it's the hell town councillor
Nah, it's the hell town [?]
[Chorus: Badness, Badness & Ghetts]
No get caught in within the system
Dutty Babylon fi bill the big ting
Look how much youts them kill around here
Me and Ghetts, wi come fi detonate a nuclear, oh
Bomb a drop, the people dem ah cheer
And none of wi fi have no fear
When it all goes down, convicted for a murder charge
And my people get twenty five years *Gunshots*
[Verse 2: Ghetts]
I got niggas in the bin doing life
Some have even told me they've considered suicide (Real talk)
Whenever I speak to them, I say, "Are you alright?"
But that's a very silly question to a person doing time (Ooh)
When he asked me what the road's saying (What you saying?)
I say I'm still out 'ere, darg
Just loads of men, you ain't missing nothing, fam
Same old, same old, same niggas on the main road
And jakes know my face, so I lay low (Woop, woop, woop, woop, woop)
Plain clothes officers, thinking they're anonymous (Woop, woop)
I can see them from afar and I don't need binoculars (Woop, woop, woop, woop)
I ain't trying to get involved in any sort of drama (Why?)
Been there, done that, gave him a double [?] (Ah)
I ain't going jail unless I'm visiting my mates there (Ow)
I just finished probation after eight year
Yeah, they told me I should take care
But really, what they think is I'll be back, so I should stay there
[Bridge: Badness]
All them can't really kill
Belly hungry, I will want some food
Tell me, people, what you gon' do?
When them will watch yuh from school
Gi' yuh drugs and whole heap ah hand tools
So tell me, why you tryna to stop the ghetto youts for?
Can't you see that you're ruining their future?
Don't you know all about bunch of these stars?
But I do know that you ain't [?] *Gunshot*
[Chorus: Badness]
No get caught in within the system
Dutty Babylon fi bill the big ting
Look how much youts them kill around here
Me and Ghetts, wi come fi detonate a nuclear, oh
Bomb a drop, the people dem ah cheer
And none of wi fi have no fear
When it all goes down, convicted for a murder charge
And my people get twenty five years
[Verse 4: Ghetts]
You want something done? You gotta do it yourself *Gunshot* (Uh-huh)
You want another income? I've been through it myself
You think it's people like me and you who ruin the world? (What?)
But what we do, the government are doing as well (That's right)
Just on a much bigger scale
It's a scam, it's a scam (Uh?)
Revelations, this has always been the plan (Uh?)
Segregation (Uh?), separation (Uh?)
Nowadays, the colour of your skin is in your bank
So now, I'm trying to get what separates the rich from the poor
Kick in the door and let in more of my own kind (Rah)
And I'm educated, so I'm increasing what I have
Police don't like me and I know why (Ra-gag-gag-gag-gag)
When my cousin's back in yard, askin' 'bout England
I tell him it's like everywhere else in the world
Go ahead, name a country without a corrupt system
I can count to twelve and you'd fail, well
[Chorus: Badness]
No get caught in within the system
Dutty Babylon fi bill the big ting
Look how much youts them kill around here
Me and Ghetts, wi come fi detonate a nuclear, oh Whoo Kid
Bomb a drop, the people dem ah cheer
And none of wi fi have no fear
When it all goes down, convicted for a murder charge
And my people get twenty five years
*Gunshot*
