[Hook]

Di system deyah fi hol we

But all dem af try, dem ah try and h try

But listen what mi tell dem, yeah

Di boi dem dead (mi said di boi dem, mi said di boi dem)

Mi said di boi dem dead

Dem dead, di boi dem dead

Dem want fi wi life fi end

[Verse 1: 070 Phi]

Ain't nothin' given or handed out

Shit don't grow on trees until you branchin' out

I remember cops comin' tryin' to scan the house

But no worries, yeah, no worries - all the grams is out

Remember back in the days when I had grandma 'round

She made me do my homework before steppin' out

That's why I'm out in the town makin' it happen

I do this for the love and I love a hater's reaction, yeah

Ain't no way that you can tell me I ain't shit

Been through trials and tribulations, as a youngin' and I ain't quit

All the problems I was faced with

I'm still breathin' and alive, though

070 like the '97 Chicago

It's gettin' spooky for them niggas on the other side

All the magic you could get couldn't fuck with mine

Tell them that we really in it for the rings

Man, my niggas we ain't worried 'bout a ting

Leave them boys dead

[Hook]

Di system deyah fi hol we

But all dem ah try, dem ah try and h try

Dem can't stop di youts dem shine, no

Every ghetto yout fi a rise

And every ghetto yout fi a strive

Dem want stop wi made

But listen what wi tell dem, yeah

Mi said di boi dem dead (Mmm)

Di boi dem dead (mi said di boi dem, mi said di boi dem)

Mi said di boi dem de-ead

Dem dead, di boi dem dead (Yeah)

Dem want fi wi life fi end

[Verse 2: Ralphy River]

Mind over matter is hard when your mind is scattered

You can only find what you lose

It's a new chapter, adapted a new adapter

People askin', "what happened?"

I'm just fed up with the lyin' and all the actin'

But, I'll be good, I'll be good as long as Shake is here

We inhaled all the lines written by Shakespeare

Catch me if you can, I'm the gingerbread man

This nigga hit another note I'll leave the singer dead, man

Home is where my head is at, that's where the bread is at

But, baby, I can't do this anymore, that's where I left it at

But if you say the word I'll be there for you, for real

Mr. caught up in the moment, we turned down the first deal

And I've been out of touch for a minute (Mmm-m-m)

Everything that's close to me has been at a distance

They didn't know that Ralphy River existed (Mmm-mm)

This mind and body is super different, come on

[Hook]

Di system deyah fi hol we

But all dem af try, dem ah try and h try

Dem can't stop di youts dem shine, no

Every ghetto yout fi a rise

And every ghetto yout fi a strive

Dem want stop wi made

But listen what mi tell dem, yeah

Mi said di boi dem dead

Di boi dem dead (mi said di boi dem, mi said di boi dem)

Mi said di boi dem dead

Dem dead, di boi dem dead

Dem want fi wi life fi end

[Verse 3: 070 Shake]

Comin', comin', comin' for you, for you, for you, yeah

Runnin', runnin', runnin' with the youth, with the youth

And we don't give a fuck if we lose

Better bury us with the truth

Ride for the things I gotta prove

Conscious just be conscious

If you let 'em they gon' turn you to a monster

And we gon' have you begging for some freedom

And I'm betting on my people

And we don't give a fuck if it's illegal

We gon' have you running from the reaper

Baby, say it louder if you need to

Couple hundred voices, so lethal

[Outro: 070 Shake]

The way the world works now, you have to be wealthy in order to live healthy

The way the world works now, you have to pay for knowledge in order to be considered smart

But Ralphi said, "who teaches those who think outside the box?

Where's the school for those who do not want to go to school?

How do you keep safe those who do not believe in authority?

How does one who is never understood get to ventilate?

How do you fill the void but not know what's missing?

How do the original protect themselves in a world of angry imitation"

Tell me when, when will curiosity be safe again?

Tell me when!

Fuck you.. fuck you, it's our time now!
