Dem tell me fi drink from di cup
But ah poison dem put inna it
La gente ca ene de lu asciu prima o poi ha stare megghiu de cussì
Every ghetto youths affi rise up
Downtown people ah rise up

Every ghetto youths affi reach one day
Every garrison is a shining star
Downtown people affi make it one day
Who eva thought
Wi affi reach so far
Every ghetto youths affi reach one day
Every garrison is a shining star

Giru pe la strada a mienzu alli veri amici
Payà sai te rispettu puru pe quiddru ca dici
Quannu a fiate troppu tie cu la capu sta fuci
Nu te scerrare quannu cantavi intra li garaci
E quannu te truei mienzu la gente importante
Nu dire sulamente ca si nu bravu cantante
E quannu tutta ddra gente esse fore lu contante
Nu sprecare n opportunità ca ole chiunque
Bbasciu ede cussine propriu comu l ha lassatu
Metà salentu è ghettu ca vive disoccupatu
Se a sirma ieu decìa tie comu t ha cumbenatu
Sperava almenu ieu cu bera cchiu fortunatu
Sempre lu ncuppinatu troa lu postu de impiegatu
Sempre lu rassegnatu ede quiddru ca tha votatu
Cinca s ha ribbellatu qualche cosa l ha cangiatu
Allu ghettu na speranza n ha purtatu
