They say, "Can anything good come out of Trench Town?" (Trench - Trenchtown) 

That's what they say, (Trenchtown); (Trench - Trenchtown) 

Say (Trench - Trenchtown) we're the underprivileged people, 

So (Trenchtown) they keep us in chains: 

"Pay (Trench - Trenchtown) - pay - pay tribute to -" (Trenchtown). 

We come from (Trench - Trenchtown); 

We come from (Trench - Trenchtown); 

Just because we come from Trench Town. 

Not because we come from Trench Town; 

Just because we come from (Trenchtown).
