Protection

Wooow

Yeah I

I believe the children are the future
Teach the well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty we possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to let it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how it used to be
Young girls!

I want you send fi your protection, you nuh ready fi baby, eeh hee
Send fi your protection, you nuh ready fi baby, eeh hee
Send fi your protection, you nuh ready fi baby

Mi want you send fi the protection, you nuh ready fi baby
Because

Him turn out to be a mason man

Or him might turn out be a ram dance man

Inna the time of old days
When mi mother did young and bold
Only two kids mi mother could control

Oh yeah, we lived like we living in paradise and
When we a youth, say, we nuh fool

Nobody can’t come take me fi fool
Send fi your protection, you nuh ready fi baby, eeh hee
That’s why I knowww
