Youth Of Today

[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh, woah, hear me now, star! (Hey)
Hush your mouth, go away
Mama say fi look up pon the go-go deh

[Chorus]
Them are youth, them a gwan somewhere
Jah know say them are youth, them a gwan somewhere
The youth of today, them are youth don't play
Jah know say them no know man make out a clay
And fire pure shotter every night and day
Jah know say them are youth a just a gwan somewhere
But watch out, man!

[Verse 1]
Say, just the other day mi want fi reach at Negril
The place mi want fi reach at must be Orange Hill
Mi take a minivan, dem want a twenty dollar bill
Mi ask him if he mad, him just a insist still

[Chorus]
But the youth of today, them no have no skill
The youth them of today, them only trained fi go kill
Them shoot you with a gun, Jah man, them stab you with a bill
The youth violate, him say you better make your will
Cah anytime you dead, you are go lay down still
Say, the youth of today, them no play
Jah know say them are youth just a gwan somewhere
Jah know mi never know how so the youth them stay

[Bridge]
Wah dat, wah dat, them a fire nuff shot

Them claim say all youth man are pure idiot

[Verse 2]
The youth dem of today say them nah fire one popper
The thing weh them a fire said a must be ragga dup
And when them fire dat, them just a lay down flat
And fire pure shot and make the innocent drop

[Bridge]
Wah dat, wah dat, shot no respect no nat

[Verse 3]
Cah tell you say the youth dem of today, them just a chuck it
The whole of them a walk and a flash pure ratchet
Them have a little gun, say the whole of them a buss it
But when them see the cops, say that the whole a them panic
But when Jah Jah come, say that them have fi kick the bucket
Jah man, mi say fi stop put your hand in a the next man pocket
You fi stop it, Jah man, say you fi stop it

Jah know say that the youth of today don't play
