(INTRO)
Ah grandma use to make Alcohol
and that’s how we get our meals
Some times she get beaten by the police and put in jail

I'm from the ghetto ghetto ghetto oh oh
Different kind of ghetto ghetto ghetto eh ehe
In the back of the house just behind the wall
Grandma used to make alcohol
she was like the old woman who used to live in the shoe
She did what she had to do
she was the first gangster the first one I knew first thug
First hustler she lead the crew
police used to beat her bad and lock her up in the jail
Aunties brings the ram to pay bribe and bail
make her promise that she will never ever do it again
That’s the only way she knew how to make a living
that’s the first touch of the first touch I see
of the ghetto life and the life to live i leave
(REF)
I take time to reflect on the reason of crime
What made my grandma to go sell moon shine
What make a woman in a ghetto sell a body for fun
Young man selling crack taking lives with guns
Its not a choice so it gat to be the circumstance
Minimum options she gat to play that hand
We need to shuffle up the deck coz the cards are fixed
New game coz the dealer is up to his old tricks
(REF)
(modulated voice)
Ghetto people knows how to improvise
Never ever back down no matter the size
At the bottom the pile still looking high
Big dreams big things from the dust we rise
Like the sun in morning you know we gown shine
Illuminate the whole world changing hearts and minds
Pick the lock if nobody wanna opening the door
Once we in you can’t shut us out no more
(BRIDGE)
Different kind of different kind of
From the ghetto the ghetto the ghetto (yo)
Different kind of different kind
Ghetto London America Jamaica keep the fire burning
(REF)(2x)
