Lyrics
1600 Billy dem kill inna 12 years
41 Dead last year
Jah knows stars
All a who rape likkle pickney fi it gweh
All a who shoot likkle pickney fi it gweh
All a who hurt likkle pickney fi it gweh
Mi nuh know a wa fly up inna dem man yah head
But
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possessed inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everyday about 10 pickney missing
Police say the crime scene clean like a whistle
But anybody do it, me a beg unuh fi listen
If me ever wull unuh, me nah send unuh go prison
Unuh grave dig already, unuh nah get no coffin
When me done with unuh, me nuh care weh wa happen
Mommy watch yuh girl when yuh carry her go shopping
Daddy watch yuh son, likkle bwoy nuh forgotten
Mek we search up di coupe fi di egg dem weh rotten
A nuh one man ting, it's a community battle
Me watch yuh kids fi yuh, yuh watch mi kids fi mi
Call di police if yuh hear nuttn fishy
Big man wear yuh size like Lieutenant Stitchy
Don't touch di likkle girl, me nuh care if she pretty
Run yuh down, run-run yuh down, anuh scatter
When yuh hear "La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la", anuh Miss Kitty
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possessed inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live with my beliefs
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me, is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
Inside, inside, inside of me
Nana know, Nana know
Nana know, Nana know
Nana know, Nana know
Nana know, Nana know
Nana know, Nana know
Nana know, Nana know
Nana know, Nana know
Nana know, Nana know
Nana know, Nana know
