   On your own business does not work
   Everyday in our system is more than i worth
   Check with the fool they'll try and hurt you
   Check in yourself and find your worth
   Dem a tie you up and play you like a fool
   Take you everyday all you wicked and you cool
   Take you for fool take you for cool
   Ghetto people you better stand up no!
  
   Get on down, get on down
   Get on down, get on down
   Get on down, get on down
   Get on down
   Come on Ruby!
