Nuff of the yoots in the ghetto firing shots now everyday Fighting against the ways of Jah, Jah know dem feel no way If you carry on so then there is a price to pay Life inside a cell is not a place you wanner stay
Nuff youth dem come from good families, families Too much ah dem dem just ah end up in a cemetery, they're history Influenced by the badness that them see, Wha dem ah see Coz there's a lesson to be learn and you just don't have to be, a memory
What you're dealing with you know that that ain't right The way you carry on the way you love to fight
If you are a rude boy for life, always running into worries and strife Rude boy for life always walking on the edge of a knife
Top shotter outer road dem, jusa gwoen like dem ah don War fe territory wan fe own all the land Gangstarfari Babylon dem pon the pay roll You can have it all, but end up losing your soul
Infamous roughneck of society Yes I'm talking to you Don't wanner hear a word I say Are you listening to me? Coz I'm talking to you
If you are a rude boy for life, always running into worries and strife Rude boy for life always walking on the edge of a knife
Because you're running out of school and you're breaking the rule You dress up in a suit and you think say you cool You's a rude boy running round and you're not a clown Any boy stepping up you ah go push dem down Rude boy for life you want the trouble and strife Re check your steps turn from death unto life Another message to you rudie Burra man ah me say message to you rudie
