Morgan Heritage - Brooklyn & Jamaica - original with lyrics

tapeversion - because somebody asked .....

Intro:
Oh! Nuh bodda ask mi bout what I don't know (Don't Know)
Ask mi bout how di yutes flow (How di yutes flow)
It's a reality show (Rockers in the jukebox)

Verse 1:
I don't know nothin much about Beverly Hills
I don't know about working for the system
I don't know about life on Miami Beach
But know a little bout the streets


Chorus:
Just ask about Brooklyn, and how the ganja move in the street
And when your poor you cant sleep
Ask mi bout Brooklyn, where everyday another bites the dust
True so much gunshot a buss
Just ask mi bout Jamaica, where life is gettin harder
And if you ever come on yah
Ask mi bout Jamaica, whether policeman and soldier
Nuh stop charge man fi murda, so

Verse 2:
Nuh bodda ask mi bout things that I don't know
Ask mi bout reality and I will show
Show you just how di ghetto yutes flow
This is real life livin a nuh puppet show
We don't know about owning yachts and fancy cars
But where we come from those who show off becomes victims
Cause in the ghetto everyone is a superstar
And everyone is packin heat

Chorus:
Just ask about Brooklyn, and how the ganja move in the street
And when your poor you cant sleep
Ask mi bout Brooklyn, where everyday another bites the dust
True so much gunshot a buss
Just ask mi bout Jamaica, where life is gettin harder
And if you ever come on yah
Ask mi bout Jamaica, whether policeman and soldier
Nuh stop charge man fi murda

Bridge:
Cause it's hard yeah (This life) it's not a pretty life
When yuh live in this a ghetto life, yeah, upon di eastside
Ah ah cause a this a life yeah, it's not a pretty life
When yuh live in this a ghetto life, yeah, ova on di westside-ide-ide

Chorus:
Just ask about Brooklyn, and how the ganja move in the street
And when your poor you cant sleep
Ask mi bout Brooklyn, where everyday another bites the dust
True so much gunshot a buss
Just ask mi bout Jamaica, where life is gettin harder
And if you ever come on yah
Ask mi bout Jamaica, whether policeman and soldier
Nuh stop charge man fi murda
