Stop The Pain
Andru Donalds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you lost your innocence, who's to blame,
A victim in a sense of your own game
An eye for an eye is inexcusable, sparks become a flame
"Time a come for stop this" and break the chain
ALL THE CHILDREN SING
YOW YOW cuaaa* fool the youths again STOP THE PAIN
YOW YOW cuaaa fool the youths again STOP THE PAIN
YOW YOW you cuaaa fool the youths again STOP THE PAIN
Cause we ain't gonna fight this for the rest of our lives...
Live we now in a world of insecurity,
Cause you can't see past your pirus purity
The blood "pon" your hands how u sleep at night (cradle in a bed of lies)
"The day a come when you fall down" and truth will rise
ALL THE CHILDREN SING
(Chorus):
YOW YOW cuaaa fool the youths again STOP THE PAIN
YOW YOW cuaaa fool the youths again STOP THE PAIN
YOW YOW you cuaaa fool the youths again STOP THE PAIN
Cause we ain't gonna fight this for the rest of our lives...
(Bridge):
Hold on steady youths we got them fingered already (hhmmm)
Hold on steady youths we bomb them bridges already (hmmmm)
Hold on steady youths the future come, are you ready (hmmmm)
Hold on steady youths RISE UP RISE UP RISE UP!!!!!!!
(SOLO dance hall RAP BY TONY REBEL)
Chorus till fade
The lyrics of Andru Donalds's "Stop The Pain" speak of the pain and suffering that children endure due to the actions of adults. The song takes a strong stance against the abuse and manipulation of young people, urging those in power to break the cycle of violence and end the pain. The chorus repeats the phrase "fool the youths again, stop the pain" as an appeal to those who would take advantage of children to recognize the harm they are causing and put an end to it.
The lyrics suggest that the loss of innocence is often the result of a "game" played by adults who should know better. The image of "an eye for an eye" being "inexcusable" suggests that those who would seek revenge against those who have hurt them are no better than their abusers. The call to "break the chain" suggests that the cycle of abuse and suffering can only end if someone takes a stand and refuses to continue the pattern. The phrase "all the children sing" implies that this stand must be taken together, as a united effort to stop the pain.
The bridge of the song offers a ray of hope, urging young people to hold on and stay strong. The lines "we got them fingered already" and "we bomb them bridges already" suggest that those who would harm children have already been identified and their means of causing harm have been cut off. The call to "rise up" at the end of the song suggests that the only way to truly stop the pain is to take a stand and fight back.
Overall, "Stop The Pain" is a powerful song that speaks to the experiences of children who are victims of abuse and neglect. It calls upon listeners to take action to end the suffering of young people and break the cycle of violence that plagues many communities around the world.
