On Broadway Songtext
von Junior Jazz

Ghetto youth
Anything you want you have to work hard for it
That man Shotta
That man and Junior Jackson accommodation
Unu watch the ride

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there′s always magic in the air
But when you're walking down the street
And you ain′t had enough to eat
The glitter runs right off and you're nowhere


Ghetto youth life is like a roller coaster
Every day, every night things a get tougher
Try fi keep your head over water
Don't let the system get you no under
Too much ghetto youth inna confinement
That′s why that man haffi make a statement
Rich young get rich while the poor get poorer
Fi get the money man a come mixing

′Cause how you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won′t last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a big banana boat back home they say
But they′re dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this damn guitar
And I′ll never stop 'til I'm a star on Broadway
I′ll never give up on this dream
I′ll never stop 'til I′m a star on Broadway
