Teach the Youths

Went away to a far, far land

Spent some time in New York

Most of my time inna England

Now I come back to my bornland

Come from England to make some vibes

Just to keep my fans alive

But the vibes they're teaching me

That don't write in my book

But the vibes they're teaching me

That don't write in my book, like

No putty that nah put them no way

No putty that, Lord, a wet them, I say

No bend down, just keep them to the ground

All stand up, make the world dem panic

Teach the youths them how to live

Teach the youths them how to survive

Hold your corner and save your life

And that's no jive (Oh woah)

The youths them make a living by selling some stuff

While some make a living wiping down cars

Can't you see the time we're living in?

The people are suffering

No teach me nothing, just teach me something

No teach me nothing, just teach me something

Hold your corner and save your life

And that's no jive

My heart, heart

My heart, heart

My heart, heart

Has to see the youths

No putty that nah put them no way

No putty that, Lord, a wet them, I say

No bend down, just keep them to the ground (Woah)

All stand up, make the girls dem panic

Teach the youths them how to live

Teach the youths them how to survive

Hold your corner and save your life

And that's no jive (Oh no)

Went away to a far, far land

Spent some time inna New York

Most of my time inna England

Now I come back to my bornland

Come from England to make some vibes

Just to keep my fans alive

Come from England to make some vibes

Just to keep my fans alive

But the vibes they're teaching me

But the vibes they're teaching me

No putty that nah teach me a thing

No bend down, just keep me to the ground

Teach me truths and rights

Look how much people suffering in this time (Oh yeah)

Some youths want to make a living

But they can't find the things to do

No teach me nothing, just teach me something (Oh yes)

No teach me nothing, just teach me something (Oh yes)

'Cause my heart is willing
