Lyrics Naah Leggo - Ziggy Marley And The Melody Makers

Naah Leggo

The children in the ghetto want food to eat
The people on the street want somewhere to sleep
Help them Lord (repeat)
You can’t blame the youth them
You can’t blame the youth them
They are victims of poverty
But we got to dread
Hang on in there
We naah leggo, we can’t let go
We naah leggo, we can’t let go
We naah leggo, we can’t let go, we naah leggo
Time gets so hard;
everyone is going crazy
And the youth them thinking
About taking up their arms again
Because you bound us here in poverty
I said you hold us here in captivity
Everywhere we turn it is another story
I said everywhere we turn it is another story
Repeat Chorus
Wake up at 6:00 A. M
No one wants to be their friends
Is it because they don’t wear no shoes
Make you don’t like them
Is it because they ain’t got no clues
Everytime I see your face you are smiling
And your leadership on the earth is a big disgrace
Repeat Chorus
The children in the ghetto want food to eat
The people on the street want somewhere to sleep
Help them Mr. Big Man, Mr. Big Man
You can’t blame the youth them
You can’t blame the youth them
They’re gonna get even
You can’t blame the youth them
No, you can’t, president
You can’t blame the youth them
They are victims of your poverty now
They are veterans of your captivity
