Bilingual
Went away to a far, far land
Spent some time in New York
Most of my time inna England
Now I come back to my bornland
Come from England to make some vibes
Just to keep my fans alive
But the vibes they're teaching me
That don't write in my book
But the vibes they're teaching me
That don't write in my book, like
No putty that nah put them no way
No putty that, Lord, a wet them, I say
No bend down, just keep them to the ground
All stand up, make the world dem panic
Teach the youths them how to live
Teach the youths them how to survive
Hold your corner and save your life
And that's no jive (Oh woah)
The youths them make a living by selling some stuff
While some make a living wiping down cars
Can't you see the time we're living in?
The people are suffering
No teach me nothing, just teach me something
No teach me nothing, just teach me something
Hold your corner and save your life
And that's no jive
My heart, heart
My heart, heart
My heart, heart
Has to see the youths
No putty that nah put them no way
No putty that, Lord, a wet them, I say
No bend down, just keep them to the ground (Woah)
All stand up, make the girls dem panic
Teach the youths them how to live
Teach the youths them how to survive
Hold your corner and save your life
And that's no jive (Oh no)
Went away to a far, far land
Spent some time inna New York
Most of my time inna England
Now I come back to my bornland
Come from England to make some vibes
Just to keep my fans alive
Come from England to make some vibes
Just to keep my fans alive
But the vibes they're teaching me
That don't write in my book (No)
But the vibes they're teaching me
That don't write in my book
Oh no, oh, oh no
Teach me truths and rights
No putty that nah teach me a thing
No bend down, just keep me to the ground
All stand up, come make the world dem panic
Teach me truths and rights
Look how much people suffering in this time (Oh yeah)
Some youths want to make a living
But they can't find the things to do
No teach me nothing, just teach me something (Oh yes)
'Cause my heart is willing
No teach me nothing, just teach me something (Oh yes)
'Cause my heart is willing
Teach the youth dem how fi ride the riddim
Teach them inna proper way, yeah
Went away to a far, far land
