lyrics

LOVE IN THE GHETTO

CHORUS

There’s some love in the ghetto
When she smile
There’s some love in the ghetto
Ain’t no doubt
Sweet sun shine in the ghetto
When she smile
there’s love in the ghetto
Oh oh oh Ain’t no doubt

Priceless
I am a Ras
Blast the fire man
I roots rising greater
No sensimilliah to cool down the pressure
Youths Ina the ghetto
Planned a bad set up
Counting on their killer priest gangsta
To lock we up
Dia Dia sun will always shine, well
Dia Dia sun will always rise, Well well
The head cornerstone will always be ahead
Dread Natty Dread
Remember what the Father said
Love love love

CHORUS

Right! Ah me say live it up
Lyrical Smoke to fire come
Remove the pressure out of the mad
Higher stand
Fearless, Africans we are lions
Fired up back it up
Meta rise it and Bless it up
Priceless
Ocean full of music inspired by the Highest
Tell them we are coming for the fruits
It’s the harvest
Big up to Senegal original place
To all of my good people

CHORUS

Kindness is a gift
Shine your light I say
What goes around comes around, a boomerang
Love is higher and it’s fire can be hot
Every day another chapter in the book
Everyday another verse another hook
Lyrically Bless Meta to the world
Listen up to the Head cornerstone
Smoke to fire Meta Rise up the shot
I am lyrical African abroad
Me not alone Head cornerstone
I plant a big tree now the fruits just arise
Meta to the world I got a big surprise
Love in the ghetto
I say ain’t no doubt in the ghetto

CHORUS

Love love love
Love love love

Eh yo eh yo
I say love love love

When she smile in the ghetto
Ain’t no doubt oh Mama
