Lyrics - Baby Cham - 'Ghetto Story'
 [Intro]
This a survival story, True ghetto story
This is my story, Real ghetto story
Hey
[Verse 1]
I remember those days when Hell was my home
When Me and Mama bed was a big piece a foam
An mi never like bathe and my hair never comb
When Mama gone a work me go street go roam
I remember when Danny dem tek me snow cone
An mek him likkle bredda dem kick up Jerome
I remember when we visit dem wid pure big stone
An the boy Danny pop out something weh full chrome
I remember when we run, Fatta get him knee blown
An mi best friend Richie get, two inna him dome
I remember so the avenue tun inna warzone
An ,Mickey madda fly him out, cau she get a loan
But, Mickey go to foreign and go tun Al Capone
Mek whole heap a money and sen in our own
Now a we a lock the city and, that is well known
Yesterday Mickey call me pan mi phone
Mi say Mickey.....
[Chorus]
Wi get di ting dem
Dem outta luck now
Mi squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
Wi have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah
Wi get di ting dem, So dem haffi rate wi
Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah
[Verse 2]
I remember bout '80, Jamaica explode
When a Trinity and Tony Hewitt dem a run road
That a long before Laing dem and even Bigga Ford
When Adams dem a Corporal nuh know the road code
I remember when we rob the chiney shop down the road
An rumour have it sey the chiney man have a sword
But we did have a one pop wey make outta board
So you know the next day mama pot Overlooaad
I remember when we skip the poll clerks
An dump the ballot box pan Tivoli outskirts
An hold a plane ticket and go chill over Turks
When me come back a still inna the hole me a lurk
I remember those days when informer dirks...
Get one inna him face and me nuh get nuh perks
And the bigger heads dem are a couple of jerks
Cause a dem a mek di money, when a wi mash di works
[Chorus]
Wi get di ting dem
Dem outta luck now
Mi squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
Wi have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah
Wi get di ting dem, So dem haffi rate wi
Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah
[Verse 3]
Jamaica get screw, tru greed an glutton
Politics manipulate and press yutes button
But we rich now ,so dem caan tell man notin
Cuz a we a mek Mama a nyaam Fish an Mutton..Ehhhh
Ova dehso mek mi tell unnu some'in...
Tru mi dey a foreign now a guy kill me cousin
An mi here sey TD deh dey but him sey he wasnt
Anytime mi fly down him a get bout dozen....Cause......
[Chorus]
Wi get di ting dem
Dem outta luck now
Mi squeeze seven and the whole a dem a duck now
Wi have whole heap a extra clip cau we nuh bruk now
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah
Wi get di ting dem, So dem haffi rate wi
Cau we a tek it to them wicked of lately
And now the whole community a live greatly
Rah...Rah..Rah...Rah

This song exemplifies the true and hard life Jamaica. It's not all Sean Paul, Bob Marley, and coconuts. Anyone who lives and lived in the ghetto should connect to this song, because struggle and strife are the same everywhere (city, country, town, district, parish).
Yes, this song is coupled with a great "riddim." There is truth behind the bass and tremble. There is violence, crime, and poverty. Our poor black men are a dying breed.
Since, the government cuts all programs that would redirect our youth towards greatness. They are forced to roam the streets and raise themselves. The few are able to escape and make a life for themselves.
Even though, you may succeed and escape the ghetto. There is still a part within you. I bet that 'part' shaped you into the person that can withstand anyone and anything. Even though, the ghetto is a thing of the past. You may still have friends or family members still living that life style. You not only want to succeed. You also want them to succeed with you. You can never forget where you come from. It will never forget you.
Baby Cham made a great point in "Ghetto Story." Money does not equal happiness. You can be poor and live a long fulfilling life. My family has this saying, 'You don't put your basket. Where you can't reach it.' Poor does mean impoverish. I know that I was rich in many other ways i.e. family & friends. Money cannot buy this type of happiness.
We tend to forget the underlining theme to dancehall. Sometime, we are too busy "bruck" the new dance and reel up to the "riddims." This music has many stories. It's the voice of the ghetto youth.

Good song - dusturbing, though...
The lyrics are written out in such a way as to make them confusing. There is a big difference between writing dialect and trying to write exactly how it sounds. I don't see the point of misspelling words that are pronounced normally. What's the difference between "Wi" and "We" or "Mi" and "me" or "youth" and "yute"???

i love this song it is soooo true! hey people yeah im from the gheto 2 and thats how like everything is as a matter of fact where i used to live from my bedroom window you could see all the hos trying to get money to feed their babyies so that they could keep them alaive as long as they possible could before they got put in juvy or get shot i mean like you havent seen jack crap untill u have seen ur bestfriend get shot right in front of u jus cus you were playin outside at the wrong time! and have to see ur mama bring guys into the house to get money to pay bills and put food in your and your siblings bellys while u had to babysit nver be able to do anything cus u where either babysiting or wored that u were ganna get shot thats scary shit!or when being home when u let ur moms clients come early and try to get u to give them sex!and having to everyday before goin to school pray to god that u wouldnt be shot! and being scared shitless and having your dady walk out on when ur like 2 !/2 and then see him go to jail and u want to talk to him but every time u go to see him hell see u in the waiting room to see him and hell walk back in the jail cell cus he dont want anything to do w/u and being told that to ur face sence u were 2 and felling like u dont have a readon to be on the earth! and thinkin that u wana kill ur self and that u should have died when all ur family members did instead of them and runing away because u cant handle ur life i have done that like 3 times and it sux cus u dont no where ur next meal is ganna come from or if ur ganna eat that nite or if ur ganna have to go through the garbidge can for food or have to see if anybody will pay u anything so that u can have a few dollars so that ur sibligs wont die or lose there hose!!!!
ps so many people think that jus because you cant the toy or the mackup or the clothes that u that ur life sux and that ur ganna die! well try living my life 4 a day trust me ull want to take ur own life in a second no im not saying that i hate my family or that i have had the suckiest life hey i could still be living on the street!
and most people that i would lose trust in god well u no what i havent i still bealeve in him!
