Текст песни Down Here in the Barrio - Dylan Rippon

Down here in The Barrio slums
You gotta watch for kids with guns
If you come round here at night (oh ho)
You better be prepared to fight
Life on The Hill well it makes you crazy
If you get it wrong then you're gonna pay
Down here in The Barrio slums
Life is a war
Life is a war
Down here in The Barrio
The malandros don't care who you know
They don't care if you live or die
It's kill or be killed an eye for an eye
You wanna escape you gotta get rich
But you can't get out cos life is a bitch
Down here in The Barrio
You know the score
There aint no law
Life is a war
Mama why does it have to be so hard
Will we ever be free
The people here all have good hearts
We are one family
Why can't anyone help us
Don't they see how we strive
Day in and day out on the hillside
Fighting for our lives
Down here in The Barrio
The choices are all bad
Do you wanna be a man
And join our gang
Or live your life in that tin can
Take a taste it's pure cocaine
This shit'll take away all your pain
It makes you feel like you're alive
Not forgotten in this lowly dive
Did you hear that last night
Our boy Pedro lost his life
He took three bullets in the chest
Then they cut him with a knife
The doctors could not do anything
Except call in a priest
And through the tears his mother cried
For her soul to be released
Down here in The Barrio
The malandros don't care who you know
They don't care if you live or die
It's kill or be killed an eye for an eye
You wanna escape you gotta get rich
But you can't get out cos life is a bitch
Down here in The Barrio
You know the score
There aint no law
Life is a war
