Shavarr – Born and Raised Lyrics

Shavarr – Born and Raised Lyrics

I was born and raised inna place like a maze
I was born and raised among people weh show two face.
I was born and raised inna place like a maze
I was born and raised if yuh nuh get shot yuh might get graze

Watch how yuh walk cah di place hot dressback
Jay nuh left k cah di k pack lunch kit full a corn but anuh breakfast
Put faith inna gun and not the maker
Where my people lost where did they get caught
Is it the rum is it the tracer
Or the bleaching cream inna them face yah
That how talent reach the drainer

I was born and raised inna place like a maze
I was born and raised among people weh show two face.
I was born and raised inna place like a maze
I was born and raised if yuh nuh get shot yuh might get graze

Say it say it say it loud and clear the ghetto is a prison di ghetto is a jail
Di system set up fi keep we as a slave
And if yuh weak yuh suffer to the grave be brave
Leaders turn actor this a center stage
Tired a this too much dirty ways knowledge is key use it and fly the gate
It’s never too late eh ate

I was born and raised inna place like a maze
I was born and raised among people weh show two face
I was born and raised inna place like a maze
I was born and raised if yuh nuh get shot yuh might get graze

Welcome to the place
Weh young girl get pick before the stages
Laying with men before the ages of consent
She dweet fi di money but dat nuh mek sense
Him get away because of the dollars weh him spend
One more broken child inna di trench concrete jungle but a nuff zinc fence
Who’s gonna pay the consequence

I was born and raised inna place like a maze
I was born and raised among people weh show two face.
I was born and raised inna place like a maze
I was born and raised if yuh nuh get shot yuh might get graze
