Rude Boy for Life

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
