CHORUS
Dead end circuit dead end circuit
Dead end circuit
Come out of the dead end circuit

I man find it hard to survive
In dis ya concrete jungle
Oh system stop your riding on my back
And carry your own bundle
It's time to work for myself
And watch the finance flowing
A go deh in a Ghetto Style
Ina the street I earn my living

CHORUS
Dead end circuit Dead end circuit
Dead end circuit
Come out of the dead end circuit

There's a chance of serving time
But I must take that gamble
It's the only real way I know
To put food on my table
And now the pressures rising
In a land of unemployment
Plenty of racial tension
And police harassment

CHORUS
Dead end circuit dead end circuit
Dead end circuit
Come out of the dead end circuit

Overcome these obstacles that block my way
Seek and find and create opportunity
Make our hopes and dreams
Come true in reality
I and I got to shake down urban slavery
Got to get outof the
Got to get out of the ARGH!

CHORUS
Dead end circuit dead end circuit
Dead end circuit
Come out of the dead end circuit

Nothings put on a plate
For you to take
Determination is the only way to make
And if you've lost your faith
You better go and find it
Faith can move the mountains
Or even break it woe o woe

It rough it tough
It rough and tuff in this dead end circuit

We want unity the community
Create your own opportunity
Working programmes for all a we
Abandon urban slavery
No give me no dead end circuit
Me no want me no want
No want no more
