[Verse 1: Damian Marley]
|
A youth and youth fi have a plan and have some ambition
|
And make sure unnu firm ina di Armageddon
|
So when you son become a man, him know just where you stand
|
Him know him Puppa set it so him follow tradition
|
If Marcus Garvey say fi read then why some man ah pree
|
Cause knowledge ah the key and it will set the people free
|
And Haile I philosophy is African unity
|
Unno watch di segregation and social impurity
|
The race is not just for the swift but those who can endure
|
Make sure you have a steady footing in ah zion door
|
And keep dem thoughts dem pure, Jah love is for the poor
|
But some likkkle bwoy ah burst some gun dem Mumma can't afford
|
If Jah say blood fi run let Jah will be done
|
The heaven and the earth will pass away before him word no come
|
But if it rise without a cause there will be no reward
|
For you to enter Zion gates because you are a fraud
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
For the youths in the struggle
|
Fighting Guerilla warfare
|
Somalia to Ethiopia
|
From Egypt to Zimbabwe
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Haile Selassie say ah war if colour is a scar
|
If one from every nation can come live up an ah par
|
So don't care who you are there's a brighter morning star
|
It's shining wake di town and tell the people near and far
|
You seek and you will search with science and research
|
The flesh it is the temple and the temple is the church
|
Haile Selassie say fi work so how some man ah lurks
|
Dem fix upon the cornerside like rubbish heap and dirt
|
Haile Selassie say ah one respect for every man
|
No care di race, no care di colour nor di religion
|
So make a decision fi bun di division
|
Cause each and every rasta youth to trot pon di mission
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
From Portmore to Kingston
|
From Kingston to Montego Bay
|
From Seaview to Riverton
|
Common, Hundred, Park Lanes
|
|
From Jungle to Rema
|
From Tivoli to Matthews Lane
|
From Southside to Telaville
|
From Iraq to USA
|
|
From Waterhouse to Drewsland
|
Payneland to Delacree
