Mavado - Born & Raised

[Intro]
Daseca
Rasta
Woii
No
No one
No one feel our pain
It's driving the poor insane, insane

[Verse 1]
Me a talk 'bout the poor, the poverty and the pressure
Can't tek it no more, too much youth 'pon stretcher
Dem no really waan fi see the ghetto youth dem richer
So dem plan fi kill we out and tek we out a the picture
Ghetto youths, don't be no snitcher
Ghetto girls jus' be wise and don't be no bitcher
Keep your eyes on the prize, be the star that glitter
Keep your head up, get a job, I don't waan you sit yah
'Cause I'm not from this place, you know I'm just a visitor
And to how me see the race a run, it's gon' be bitter
For the strongest a the strongest and the fit a the fitter
I was born and raised to be no quitter

[Chorus]
I was born and raised enuh
In the ghetto for years and years enuh
My people cry tears and tears enuh
No food for days and days enuh
I was born and raised enuh
In the ghetto for years and years enuh
No food for days and days enuh
My people cry tears and tears enuh

[Verse 2]
They ask me where I've been
I said I've never been shopping
All I see is a coffin
Don't ask about Mark, police shot him
It's just the way of the system
They eradicate every victim
Just keep the faith, I'm insisting
All my beautiful people, are you listening?

[Chorus]
I was born and raised enuh
In the ghetto for years and years enuh
My people cry tears and tears enuh
No food for days and days enuh
I was born and raised enuh
In the ghetto for years and years enuh
No food for days and days enuh
My people cry tears and tears enuh

[Bridge]
No one feels our pain
No one feels our pain that we're feeling
Pain, that we're feeling

It driving the poor insane, insane, yeah
You can never know, only if God reveals it
It's getting to my brain
Now it's getting to my brain
'Cause no else can feel the pain

And the bigger heads dem talk dem things, it just the same
Only talk about the change
Everything remains the same


[Chorus]
I was born and raised enuh
In the ghetto for years and years enuh
My people cry tears and tears enuh
No food for days and days enuh
I was born and raised enuh
In the ghetto for years and years enuh
No food for days and days enuh
My people cry tears and tears enuh

[Outro]
Born and raised
I was born and raised
Cry tears for days
Cry tears, to the years...
Born and raised
Cry tears for days
