Wrong Address - Etana

Tried to get a job today but

When dem see the application dem say

If this is really where you really reside

Please step outside

She asked them why

And they replied

We don’t want no trouble

We don’t want no trouble, no day

Cause lady where you come from

People die there everyday

For our safety that’s where you should stay

She traded in her three-piece for two

Everything and anything she wanted to do

Went back to her side of town

In bed she lay down

All she could hear was

We don’t want no trouble

We don’t want no trouble, no day

Cause lady where you come from

People die there everyday

For our safety that’s where you should stay

It’s easier to give into the pressures of life

It’s harder to get over when you try to do right

Just stay focused and keep your goals in sight

Been through school, passed every test

Graduated above the rest

And yet the society still looks down

They do this, why?

They don’t want us to try

And so they’ll reply

We don’t want no trouble

We don’t want no trouble, no day

Cause lady where you come from

People die there everyday

For our safety that’s where you should

We don’t want no trouble

We don’t want no trouble, no day

Cause lady where you come from

People die there everyday

For our safety that’s where you should stay
