Intro
Switch it, just use your imagination. heh

[Chorus]
Imagine uptown people a live inna the ghetto fi a week, Week
Down town move gone inna the uptown town area things nice proper English dem a speak.
Uptown people could a neva stand it when the pipe dem a leak, Leak
First of all dem nuh know how fi bridge light, nuh wah use the igloo with the ice them use to fridge life.

[Verse 1]
Picture Portia a live a Spain, picture Bruce Golding live a hundred lane,
Picture me, way richer dan Mattalon, while him live a Kentire pon piece a capture land,
Picture Michael Lee-Chin hold off the gully side him and the thugs dem a bleach so yuh cah go beside,
Picture, Bush Stewart a wipe car glass and a ask fi the change weh yuh got, Nooo, nooo.
It wouldnt be easy trading places with the ghetto,
It wouldnt be easy fi hear rich people voice a echo
It wouldnt be easy, it wouldnt be nice to see us rise give dem a surprise and mek dem knoe we also can live these life.

[Chorus X1]

[Verse 2] What if Sizzla was commissioner, Police couldnt arrest we fi a spliff If alliance was National Security nuh body could never violate nor slip, Suppose uptown people affi nyam chicken back and tun cornmeal go see dem wid finger a lick, now, Imagine if ghetto youth a go a di ATM fi go draw cash uptown youths a pocket dem a pick, nooo, ayee Me say we cah separate we self, uptown down town come mek we elevate we self, Street knowledge it mek me educate miself fi be wiser, eh , Me say we cah separate we self, uptown down town come mek we elevate we self, Street knowledge mek me educate miself fi be wiser. Picture Dat It wouldnt be easy uptown trading places with the ghetto, It wouldnt be easy to hear rich people voice a echo it wouldnt be easy It wouldnt be nice to see us rise give dem a surprise and mek dem knoe we can also live these life.
