Stop lead the youths astray
Cultivate the land and give them room to play
Babylon nuh gi them no more gun fi spray
This is what I′m asking you to do today
Stop lead the youths astray
Cultivate the land and give them room to play
Babylon nuh gi them no more gun fi spray
This is what I'm asking you to do today
(Yeah)
The youths them a the future
So me a beg unno stop trick them and abuse them
A give them water inna basket fi confuse them
Too much lies lies lies and them nuh truthful
The way the system set up
It nah go work no more
Them ah try block we out
But them can′t lock the door
Creator creating ways
And of this I'm sure
Youths in the ghetto get so little


But deserve much more
Tell me how much longer
We gonna sit back and whatch the world go under
'Memba lightning strikes before thunder
We waste so much while kids dying of hunger
Now famine and poverty
Is someone′s reality
Where are we focusing all ah we energy
When there′s a world that needs help
It's under attack
It needs work it needs strength
Stop lead the youths astray
Cultivate the land and give them room to play
Babylon nuh gi them no more gun fi spray
This is what I′m asking you to do today
Stop lead the youths astray
Cultivate the land and give them room to play
Babylon nuh gi them no more gun fi spray
This is what I'm asking you to do today
Cause we can all make a difference
It′s not to late
Let's get together
Starting today
No more fatalities
More unity
Stop the foolish things
In the community
I don′t know how they go on
Deep in their hearts
They know that they're wrong
What do you expect
When they put the pressure on?
They're gonna retaliate
And cause more war
Somebody tell me what a gwan
Youths inna the streets
Them getting hungry for knowledge
Stuck inna the ghetto
And them can′t go to college
Bigger heads look pass them
Won′t include them in planning
Displace all my people
While they build up the mansions
Tell me how much longer
We gonna sit back and whatch the world go under
'Memba lightning strikes before thunder
We waste so much
And we coulda fix world hunger (Now)
Stop lead the youths astray
Cultivate the land and give them room to play
Babylon nuh gi them no more gun fi spray
This is what I′m asking you to do today
Stop lead the youths astray
Cultivate the land and give them room to play
Babylon nuh gi them no more gun fi spray

Mystery babylon out ah road ah try to harm them
Inna plain sight we can see them
Them ah work for mash up we likkle freedom
