brooklyn & jamaica

Singer:morgan heritage

oh

nuh bodda ask mi 'bout what i don't know

ask mi 'bout how di yutes flow

it's a reality show

i don't know nothin' much about beverly hills

i don't know about working for the system

i don't know about life on miami beach

but know a little 'bout the streets

just ask about brooklyn

and how the ganja move in the street

and when your poor you can't sleep

ask mi 'bout brooklyn

where everyday another bites the dust

true so much gunshot a buss

just ask mi 'bout jamaica

where life is gettin' harder

and if you ever come on yah

ask mi 'bout jamaica

whether policeman and soldier

nuh stop charge man fi murda so

nuh bodda ask mi 'bout things that i don't know

ask mi 'bout reality and i will show

show you just how di ghetto yutes flow

this is real life livin' a nuh puppet show

we don't know about owning yachts and fancy cars

but where we come from those who show off becomes victims

'cause in the ghetto everyone is a superstar

and everyone is packin' heat

just ask about brooklyn

and how the ganja move in the street

and when your poor you can't sleep

ask mi 'bout brooklyn

where everyday another bites the dust

true so much gunshot a buss

just ask mi 'bout jamaica

where life is gettin' harder

and if you ever come on yah

ask mi 'bout jamaica

whether policeman and soldier

nuh stop charge man fi murda

'cause it's hard

yeah

when yuh live in this a ghetto life

when yuh live in this a ghetto life

just ask about brooklyn

and how the ganja move in the street

and when your poor you can't sleep

ask mi 'bout brooklyn

where everyday another bites the dust

true so much gunshot a buss

just ask mi 'bout jamaica

where life is gettin' harder

and if you ever come on yah

ask mi 'bout jamaica

whether policeman and soldier

nuh stop charge man fi murda
