Teach The Youth Lyrics - Acousticalevy - Barrington Levy

Went away to a far far land 

Spend some time in New York 

Most of my time inna England 

No welcome back to my bornland, yeah 

Come from England to make some vibes 

Just to keep ma fans alive 

But the vibes they're teaching 

Me that don't right in my book, no 

Yes, the vibes they're teaching me 

That don't right in my book like 

No put I dey nah put dem no weh hey 

No put I dey lawd a wey dem a seh 

Sex an guns jus keep dem to de ground 

Horse tonic a mek di girl dem panick 

Teach di youths dem how to live 

Teach di youths dem how to survive 

Hold your corner and save your life 

And that's no jive 

Seh di youths dem mek a living by selling some stars 

Gots to make a living wiping down cars 

Can't you see the times you're living in? 

The people are suffering 

No teach me nothing, just teach me something 

No teach me nothing, just teach me something 

Hold your corner, save your life and that's no jive 

My heart, my poor little heart 

My heart cries to see the youth 

No put I dey nah put dem no weh hey 

No put I dey lawd a wey dem a seh 

Sex an guns jus keep dem to de ground 

Horse tonic a mek di girl dem panick 

Teach di youths dem how to live 

Teach di youths dem how to survive 

Hold your corner and save your life 

And that's no jive
