[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*
