Youth Dem So Cold
Richie Spice Lyrics
In the streets it's getting hot and the youths
Them a get so cold searching for food for the pot
They'll do anything to fill that gap, whoo
As generation comes and goes
You gatta make preparation for the youths them a grow
It's what you reap, it's what you sow
The youths, them have a life in the future
So when that's then you know, if education is the key
Then tell me why the people have to make it so expensive for we
Give them the key, oh, set them free
Oh, na, na, na, ayy, eee, eee, oh, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
You gatta find a better way
'Cause wen we look in a Babylon
Me see a bearful play and so the Gideon stay
Ay, all nation come together
Know that Kingston Selassie the truth
And the light and the way
Kingston people lead them in the right way, eee
You gat to show the people there's still a brighter way, ayy
I know for sure the sun will come out today, ayy
Vanity is an illusion, will have to fade away, ayy, yeah
And all the wicked deeds that done
You know you gat to pay, ayy
Them a get so cold searching for food for the pot
They'll do anything to fill that gap, whoo
As generation comes and goes
You gatta make preparation for the youths them a grow
It's what you reap, it's what you sow
The youths, them have a life in the future
So when that's then you know, if education is the key
Give them the key, oh, set them free
Oh, na, na, na, ayy, eee, eee, oh, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
You gatta find a better way
'Cause wen we look in a Babylon
Me see a bearful play and so the Gideon stay
Ay, all nation come together
Know that Kingston Selassie the truth
And the light and the way
Kingston people lead them in the right way, eee
You gat to show the people there's still a brighter way, ayy
I know for sure the sun will come out today, ayy
Vanity is an illusion, will have to fade away, ayy, yeah
And all the wicked deeds that done
You know you gat to pay, ayy
