Testi

Yow... mi heart heavy like lead
Babylon recruitin' di babies fi dead
No schoolyard, no playground swing
Only rifle strap and a deathman ring
Child soldiers — robbed of di youth
Gun inna hand, cyan't hide di truth
Child soldiers — chain and decay
Dem steal tomorrow fi a war today
Mi see the chalkboard empty, the desk cyan't fill
Teacher run out while the warlord drill
Tiny palm grippin' AR clip
Finger cyan't even stretch fi the trigger tip
Mother weep dry, no father near
Recruiter whisper "glory," but is only fear
March inna line like puppet parade
Toy truck swap fi grenade
Cartoon dreams turn to nightmare chant
Future vanish in a militant plant
Them trade textbooks for a box of shells
Sing lullabies to the sound of bells
UN look on, camera flash blind
But the child bury hope inna dirt mankind
Child soldiers — robbed of di youth
Gun inna hand, cyan't hide di truth
Child soldiers — chain and decay
Dem steal tomorrow fi a war today
Mi hear them chant scripture twisted wrong
Brainwash hymn in a battlefield song
Them promise heaven if the trigger squeeze
But the child want bread, want life, want peace
Foreign donor clap inna velvet chair
While another village drown in despair
Them sip champagne while the youth dem starve
Carve propaganda inna poor man's heart
Play the victim, but mi know the role
Children used fi the empire goal
No mercy fi the youth them bend
Mi chant mi verse fi the truth defend
One day Zion blaze through mist
Every false prophet cyaan resist
Child soldiers — robbed of di youth
Gun inna hand, cyan't hide di truth
Child soldiers — chain and decay
Dem steal tomorrow fi a war today
Youth nah soldier, youth fi learn
Book fi open, page fi turn
Gun cyan't raise no kingdom tall
Dem who arm children soon must fall
Child soldiers — wicked crime
Babylon guilty fi di last time
Tick-tick, mi rhyme cyan't bend
Justice nah sleep, truth fi defend
