[Intro:]

[Gaza Slim:]
|
1600 pickiny dem kill inna 12 year
|

|
[Vybz Kartel:]
|
All a who rape likkle pickiny fi dead
|
All a who shoot likkle pickiny fi dead
|
All a who hurt likkle pickiny fi dead
|
Mi no know a wa fly up inna dem man yah head but
|
|
[Chorus: Gaza Slim]
|
I believe the children are our future
|
Teach dem well an let dem lead the way
|
Show dem all the beauty they posses inside
|
Give dem a saints of pride to make it easier
|
Let the children's laughter
|
Remind us how we usto be
|
|
[Verse 1: Vybz Kartel]
|
Everyday about 10 pickiny missing
|
Police seh the crime scene clean like a whistle
|
But anybody dweet mi a beg unu fi listen
|
If mi ever hold unu mi naw send unu go prison
|
Unu grave dig already unu naw get no coffin
|
When mi done wid unu mi no care wa waan happen
|
Mummy watch yo girl when yo carry are go shopping
|
Daddy watch yo son likkle bwoy no fi gotten
|
Meck wi search up the coob fi the egg dem wa rotten
|
A no one man thing is a community bottle
|
Mi watch yo kids fi yuh, yuh watch mi kids fi mi
|
Call the police if yo hear nothing fishy
|
Big man wear yo size like lieutenant Stitchy
|
Don't touch the likkle girl mi no care if shi pretty
|
Run yuh down wid the magnum a no Scatta
|
When yo hear la, la, la, la, la, la, a no Mrs Kitty
|
|
[Chorus: Gaza Slim]
|
|
[Verse 2: Gaza Slim]
|
Everybody searching for a hero
|
People need someone to look up to
|
I never found anyone to fulfilled my needs
|
A lovely place to be
|
An so I learn to depend on me
|
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone shadows
|
If I fail, if I succeed
|
At least I live desirably
|
No matter what they take from me
|
They can take away my dignity
|
Because am greatest, the love of all
|
Is happening to me, it's happening to me
|
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
|
