Teach The Children |
| And the meditation of your heart |
| Be acceptable |
| Always know that you’re gonna be responsible, seen |
| And I say yuh find yourself With an instrumental influence |
| Use it with a positive sense |
| Or else yuh gonna pay the consequence |
| Rebel speaks again |
| I say be careful what you teach the little children |
| Make sure a nuh something to hurt them |
| Mind what yuh say to mi sista |
| She could be the next Prime Minister |
| (I say) fi watch what yuh say to mi daughta |
| Cuz in the long run, she could be your doctor |
| How yu no fi mention dat to mi son, Don |
| A me no want me little boy fi turn a gunman |
| Still yuh never listen |
| Yuh ears must be missin |
| Every day yuh say yuh gun a shine an a glisten |
| Yuh writing fi the screamer and de lighter and de whistle |
| It look like yuh forget all about God’s blessing |
| De wisdom from your mouth |
| Meditation of your heart |
| Should be free from negative of every sort |
| Want a good cow |
| Yuh better grow a good calf |
| Be careful what ya inject inna de youth dem heart (and just) |
| I say be careful what you teach the little children |
| Make sure a nuh something to hurt them |
| Mind what yuh say to mi sista |
| She could be the next Prime Minister |
| (I say) fi watch what yuh say to mi daughta |
| Cuz in the long run, she could be your doctor |
| How yu no fi mention dat to mi son, Don |
| A me no want me little boy fi turn a gunman |
| Mista Tie an Mista Jacket |
| You Mr false prophet |
| Leading the children astray |
| Mi a beg unnu fi stop it |
| Dust upon an rocket |
| For put it in yuh pocket |
| Give the people water fi carry inna basket |
| So if ya find yourself |
| With a instrumental influence |
| Everytime you use it, use your conscience |
| The seed where yuh sow |
| It is no accident |
| And nevah yuh nevah yuh nevah yuh shall escape the judgement |
| Watch what you teach the little children |
| Make sure it not something to hurt them |
| Mind what yuh say to mi sista |
| She could be the next Prime Minister |
| (I say) fi watch what yuh say to mi daughta |
| Cuz in the long run, she could be your doctor |
| And yu no fi mention dat to mi son, (Dan?) |
| And me no want me little boy fi turn a gunman |
| If yuh say yuh love di yout |
| And that is the truth |
| We will find out cuz you are judged by the fruit |
| If ya teach dem fi shoot |
| And turn prostitute |
| Hang upon your shoulder, never dilute |
| Tommorow man and woman |
| Is the youth of today |
| So understand that you should not lead dem astray |
| You responsibility |
| Is to to show dem the way |
| And if you dont then-- |
| Somebody, somebody have fi pay (so) |
| Watch what you teach the little children |
| Make sure it not something to hurt them |
| Mind what yuh say to mi sista |
| She could be the next Prime Minister |
| How yuh fi say dem (naw?) things to mi daughta |
| When in the long run, she could be your doctor |
| No bother mention dat to mi son, (Dan?) |
| And me no want me little boy fi turn a gunman |
| Mista Prime Minister, Mista Speaker |
| Mista Opposition Leader |
| Linguist, Journalist, Dj’s and Singer |
| Producer, Smooth operator |
| And de radio announcer |
| Preacher, Teacher, Mother and Father |
| How much ah tell yuh |
| When me tell you mi friend |
| You want me repeat meself all over again |
| Yuh want the future nice |
| And yuh don’t know how |
| Yuh bettah teach the yout right |
| And yuh better do it now (so) |
| (repeat chorus and fade) |
