Lyrics

See blood Don't mean your own blood The youths of Eglington Won't put down their Remington The youths of Brixton They have their four five Smith and Wesson Pistol pistol The youths of Utica Avenue They just can't keep cool So much gun shot Some cripple some turn fool They are responsible for a lot of children And they need food And they want to go to school I say the youth of Eglington Won't put down their Remington I say the youth of Kingston Won't leave their Magnum Pistol pistol A very thin line to start the crime Who will be the first to volunteer You love you love your mockery Get up and get yourself together You hear the words of Jah Jah Coming from the hill top Of Dabra Dabra Keep your strength The youth of Eglington Won't put down their Remington I say the youth of Brixton They put down their four five Smith and Wesson Pistol pistol Stop and listen They want you to fight the good fight But save your strength For strength is life The youths in Africa All a dem a thriller I say the youth of Eglington Won't put down their Remington The youth of Kingston Won't leave their Magnum Pistol pistol Poor Jill she was a spill She got hit by a stray shot Poor Jill she was a spill She got hit by a stray shot The youths of Eglington Won't put down their Remington The youths of Brixton They put down their four five Smith and Wesson Pistol pistol
