lyrics

This is what the youths them tell me,
I hear that the other day...
want fi hear what youth them say?
The youths them want more teachings!
The youths them want less belly aching!
The youths them want more preaching !
That’s what the youths them want,
you know what?

The youths them want more uplifting!
The youths them want less senseless killing!
The youths them want more brightning!
That’s what the youths them want,
you know what?

Hatillo bal no smith and wesson
Sagrada said gunshot don’t teach no lesson
Alajuelita ready fi get a blessing
I hear seh Desampa tired of the stressing

See them fall just like Jericoh walls!!!
through them ignore the people
when them hear them a bal
read up the Bible and open your eyes
red, gold and green rise my banner high

Cartago bal no gun pressing,
Alajuela tired of the downpressing,
I hear Heredia said no more child molesting,
Here comes Rastafari with a blessing.

Limon bal Jah name them call
Jaco no want no gunshot
There ‘s no central,
who’s next to bal? Valle Central,
Read up the Bible and the Book of Life

This is what the youths them tell me,
I hear that the other day...
want fi hear what youth them say?
