Warm to di youth dem a


Every Sunday mi buy Gleaner
A search out di classifies
Mi want a work

Mi youth fi feed
And mi youth dem muss survive



Di light bill payment
Wata payment

Plus di bed and di stove coal payment
Plus di bus fares
Plus di school fee

Dem pon top a dat dem a raise when
Babylon yuh must fall, is not a statement
Cause a nuh work this, this a enslavement

Mi just a hold it, but dem a force mi
Fi broke di six and di eight commandment



Mi don't want do nuh crime
Society don't mek mi change mi mind

Cah mi want a better life
My pickney want a better life
Mek mi don't want do nuh crime

Society don't mek mi change mi mind (ghetto youths)
Cah mi want a better life (mm)
My pickney want a better life



Mi get a blind eye from society

But di ghetto nuh expect betta from dem
But mi surprised when a mi di church condemn
Dem seh dem a church bredrin but dem a heathen

Religion cyan trick wi
Wi deh yah above dem
Cause a di pope control di world bank dem


Mi just a hold it, but dem a force mi
Fi broke di Six and di eight commandment



Mi don't want do nuh crime (don't want do nuh crime)

Cah mi want a better life (we sufferin')
My pickney want a better life (help wi please cah mi)

Mi don't want do nuh crime
Society don't mek mi change mi mind (ghetto youths)
Cah mi want a better life (mm)

My pickney want a better life



As far as my eyes can see
Dem nuh response pon wi
Society forsake wi

Mi done tell di garrison already
But times hard
Dem treat wi like dog

If dem raise di toll again
Mi haffi go walk ova mi yard mm



Mi don't want do nuh crime (don't want)
Society don't mek mi change mi mind (ghetto youths)
