Next Generation

Is there something you have to say or do

That can help to pave a better way

For the next generation that is coming, Oh lord

To keep their mind focused and conscious

About the awareness

Of the things that will befall them

If they continue to be careless

Striving for a better tomorrow

Do you have the motivation

To keep the fire burning

And the energy flowing

What are your interests

In the future of the nations

So much distraction

To break your concentration

You are so distracted oh lord, oh lord

Therefore you fall off the track

Down inna the wolf pack

So many youths growing in a sorrow

The pathway they take is narrow

Their chances of survival is slim

They are walking on a thin limb

We have seen all the disgusting

Downgrading disgracefulness of action

Orchestrated by the media

Television radio and newspaper

Watch how the woman them a dress today

Watch how the youths them gone astray, Oh lord

Too much negativity take them away

While they are idle in

They are slowly falling

Is there something you got to say or do

That can help to pave a better way

Because trouble is around the corner

Waiting for your sons and daughters

Trouble is out there on the streets

And we know say dat no sweet

Political war is in the neighborhood

And dat a nothing good

So much fun going along

It is happening on the borderline

Where everything should be fine

Everything should be fine yeah

Is there something you have to say

That can help to pave a better way, Oh lord

Pave a better way

So that the youth them won't go astray, Oh yeah

Keep their mind focused and conscious
