1
Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam
2
Gun shot a bust with grenade and bomb
3
First fi survive a fi iron lion
4
Learn fi trod through great tribulation
5
Learn to survive off the plantation
6
Plant up potatoes wi plant up yam
7
Turn over soil cause food have fi nyam
8
Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch
9
Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence
10
Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence
11
And if mi catch him a shhhh silence
12
Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant
13
Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want
14
Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn
15
Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone
16
Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan
17
Wey dem a go do when the real war start
18
Can't find solution who play the part
19
Claim sey you bad see how fast you tek off
20
You use to brag how you kill and laugh
21
How you wicked and a rip out men heart
22
Carry dead man gwan thing of a wharf
23
Well I Jr. Gong a show you say you soft
24
Now Jr. Gong no matter how you brawd or you big
25
We naw show respect if you don't love how you live
26
Everyday you get up you tek on, you naw give
27
Big up Raggamuffin you respect, him solid
28
Back to the issue wey wi di a deal wid
29
Down in a Jamaica is like old Vietnam
30
Print a di eyes put a destruction
31
For the simplest thing man a bram bram bram
32
Man a live them whole life in a police station
33
Man a sentence fi hang and don't do a wrong
34
We plant sensimillia and we plant up we yam
35
And wi turn over soil for food have fi nyam
36
Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch
37
Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence
38
Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence
39
And if mi catch him a shhhh silence
40
Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant
41
Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want
42
Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn
43
Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone
44
Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan
45
Now really true I and I positive
46
Taking up a matter getting inquisitive
47
A blind man can see the type of life man a live
48
Yo Raggamuffin you is like a college
49
Back to the issue wey mi a deal wid
50
Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam
51
Gun shot a ring with grenade and bomb
52
First wi survive you have to be a marksman
53
Learn to bus shot a shot gun out a hand
54
Learn to survive off the plantation
55
Plant up potato wi plant up yam
56
Turn over soil for food have fi nyam
57
Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch
58
Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence
59
Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence
60
And if mi catch him a shhhh silence
61
Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant
62

65
Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan
66

73
Now down inna di ghetto wey the poor people live
74
Due to sufferation some of dem think negative
75
Give thanks and praises to the life Jah Jah give
76
The elder done tell you small people get big anyway
77
Back to the issue wey mi di a deal wid
