LYRICS:
sixteen tons of pressure
yes u know say that nuff ghetto youths are out deh today brethreen wah
you know say why
the governement nuh run nothing for dem brethreens
you know say the street are empty, you know say the pocket say dem empty
so de youth dem hungry
u know say the youths dem struggling, so dem a strat juggling,
u nuh want to get caught in the game
coz dem a want top be gangster
tell me what they re fighting for
coz dema want to be gangster
fighting without no war
2015 the ghetto gettin hot
no body can get a job
so dem a turn drug shotter
dem a sell drigs to the people
and nuh see what s the matter
dema nuh talk bout food
when dem got big maca
say dem nuh talk bout football
when dem gwan take shotter
dem a buss shot ina the street and
dem buss in the blacka
see mi hard life we know about dat
we know about scraping from the bottom of the butter
we know how it feels to lose your brother and your mother, well
say comin in now say with the bass and fire
u know say that charlie pmi never gwan retire
mi haffi stop the youth that squeeze the guns and fire
want fo take them ina the dance where the vibes dem higher
now all around the world charlie p pon flyer
coz mi a the original riddim rider
say sweet calli weed ina the chalwa — fire!
yes u know say that mi take a draw higher
coz dem a want top be gangster
tell me what they re fighting for
coz dema want to be gangster
fighting without no war
say as a youth mi had it hard say as a youth mi had it tuff
as a youth mi nuh have much but mi had my family’s love
some youths dont even have that, some youth dont even know dem dad
some youth dont even know dem mother
we tellin u now it sad
some youth dem gwan join a gang and dem a feel like big man
ghetto youth from around the worl from japan to finland
some youth have Ak and big machine gun
some youth nuh even gwan fi make it till the age of 21
some youth nuh even gwan fi make it till the age of 16
as a youth i was told u haffi live your life clean
always treat the people how u want to be treat, so i did
so i m here mashin up pon the scene
coz dem a want top be gangster
tell me what they re fighting for
coz dema want to be gangster
fighting without no war
say when mi walk in the ghetto say it s not dangerous,
say all of the ghetto people dem gwan show mi love
say all arounf the world say ghetto people stand up
we dont want no babylon fi put us in some handkuff
we give them 16 tons of depressure
hit them with bass watch them bottom lip quiver
dibby dibby crackhead dem a shake and a shiver
u know them not as bad as the one that deliver
we say no, u know your life gettin better
say when u trust your broher when you trust your bredda
duplate mi on it that a heavy like lead
you know say charlie p mi a the lyrical veter
coz dem a want top be gangster
tell me what they re fighting for
coz dema want to be gangster
fighting without no war
