Baton stick get shorter

Can't fight against di youth now, 'cause they are strong
Youths are good-good roots, seen?

What has been hid from the wise an' the prudent
Has been revealed to babes and suckling
Rootsy-rootsy, be wise
Rootsy-rootsy-rootsy, be wise

Youths are good-good roots, seen?
Can't fight against di youth now, 'cause they are strong
Youths are good-good roots, seen?
