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
