Intro:
Now man from east and west don’t gree with man from north and south
And when dem come bout a bare shot ring out yeah
Mother bawl out, pickney cry out yeah
Every youth a tell mi seh dem have di city lock down
Seems like down a mederest dem madda book a spot down
Member when wi little bit wi use to buss wi pop gun
Now a days is not suh di block run
Chorus:
Now every youth seh dem a don
Nobody nuh good again mi cannot understand
You don’t have a future youth if you don’t have a plan
Yuh don’t haffi do dem things fi prove seh yuh a man
Deh little youth deh wid di rifle youth a weh yuh get it from
A nuh book and pencil dat mi si inna yuh hand
Listen up, annu dat mi sing in a mi song
Junior Reid seh one blood simple mean seh wi a one
Some a dem artist nah guh tell yuh seh yuh wrong
Verse 1:
I hope yuh listen to dem song yah
And listen Richie Spice some Spanner Bonner
Before yuh finger squeeze di trigger, release and fly di hammer
Black rain a fall there’s not umbrella to shield yuh like Rihanna
Man a run like thief and a bawl out please, another grieving Mama
Kids can’t even play out deh in a di day, di place nuh have no order
Inna mi place mi stay nuh stray dem shot yah guh round corner
Not even look out through di window fi dem seh informer
Dem youth a heartless dem nuh pree nuh karma
Dem clip yah long long till it bend nuh mean nuh green banana
And dem a seh machine ova dashine dem nuh pree nuh farmer
Now every youth nuh want nuh work but dem a pree di dollar
A guest deh status yah dem really after
Chorus:
Now every youth seh dem a don
Nobody nuh good again mi cannot understand
You don’t have a future youth if you don’t have a plan
Yuh don’t haffi do dem things fi prove seh yuh a man
Deh little youth deh wid di rifle youth a weh yuh get it from
A nuh book and pencil dat mi si inna yuh hand
Listen up, annu dat mi sing in a mi song
Junior Reid seh one blood simple mean seh wi a one
Some a dem artist nah guh tell yuh seh yuh wrong
Verse 2:
Why when mi sing dem song yah dem nuh listen
Yuh madder sen yuh guh school but you rather in a prison
Or end up in a hospital like vegetable cripple
A tell mi how him head hot like a pepper a must be pickle
Hey what sitten, cuyah watch di little kitten
Weh just come off a nipple come a tell yuh him wi diss yuh
And if yuh try defend it yo yuh family wi missing
Yuh take it to di law memba yuh judgement a guh tripple
But wait deh little, yuh nuh think seh dem trick yuh
Di ones weh gi yuh di guns so why yuh think seh dem with yuh
Dem just sen a juvenile upon a bicycle
Fi come tek uh little three points final whistle
Chorus:
Now every youth seh dem a don
Nobody nuh good again mi cannot understand
You don’t have a future youth if you don’t have a plan
Yuh don’t haffi do dem things fi prove seh yuh a man
Deh little youth deh wid di rifle youth a weh yuh get it from
A nuh book and pencil dat mi si inna yuh hand
Listen up, annu dat mi sing in a mi song
Junior Reid seh one blood simple mean seh wi a one
Some a dem artist nah guh tell yuh seh yuh wrong
