(Intro)
From mi young mi a walk wid hunger
Mitt in hand
Inna struggle mi never plan fi tan
The weight heavy suh mi plan fi strong

(Chorus)
Am coming from the gutter
Hunting the butter
Haffi meck things ameliorate
Family naw go suffer

Am coming from the gutter
Hunting the butter
Haffi meck things improve
Family naw go endure

(Poesy 1)
Couple firm, couple yacht, couple coaster
Bank business relationship down a Nova-Scotia
Flat screen Television, Sofa
Cars and SUV shofa
Wi waan fi rich
Wi waan fi accept information technology
Comfortable
No empty pocket
The struggle hard, suh wi hustle hard
Fi terminate pay the hire
And buy wi own a grand
Wi naw go cease
Every ghetto youth wi waan fi reach the summit

(Echo Chorus)

(Verse 2)
From mi immature mi a walk wid hunger
Hand in manus
Inna struggle mi never plan fi tan
The weight heavy suh mi plan fi potent
Dollar signs a weh man vision
Suh if a work fi sell mi wi hustle it
And if a nutrient fi sell mi wi juggle it
The piece of work haffi put in suh mi shoes mi put on
And mi grab mi shirt and push button it
Because mi nuh program fi live poor
Gear up mi goals and dribble and score
Poverty you naw meck it no more
Y'all haffi cut man a sore

(Echo Chorus)

(Echo Verse 1)

(Repeat Chorus)
