Vybz Kartel Children Are Our Future
[Intro: Vanessa Bling & Vybz Kartel]
1600 pickiny dem kill inna 12 years
41 dead last year, jah know star
All a who rape likkle pickiny fi dead
All a who shoot likkle pickiny fi dead
All a who hurt likkle pickiny fi dead
Mi no know a wa fly up inna dem man yah head but
[Chorus: Vanessa Bling]
I believe the children are our future
Teach dem well an let dem lead the way
Show dem all the beauty they posses inside
Give dem a saints of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how we us to be
[Verse 1: Vybz Kartel]
Everyday about 10 pickney missing
Police seh the crime scene clean like a whistle
But anybody dweet mi a beg unu fi listen
If mi ever hold unu mi nah send unu go prison
Unu grave dig already unu naw get no coffin
When mi done wid unu mi no care weh waan happen
Mummy watch yo girl when yo carry are go shopping
Daddy watch yo son likkle bwoy no fi gotten
Mek wi search up the coob fi the egg dem wa rotten
A no one man thing is a community battle
Mi watch yo kids fi yuh, yuh watch mi kids fi mi
Call the police if yo hear nothing fishy
Big man wear yo size like lieutenant Stitchy
Don't touch the likkle girl mi no care if she pretty
Run yuh down wid the magnum a no Scatta
When yo hear la, la, la, la, la, la, a no Mrs Kitty
[Chorus: Vanessa Bling]
I believe the children are our future
Teach dem well an let dem lead the way
Show dem all the beauty they posses inside
Give dem a saints of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how we us to be
[Verse 2: Vanessa Bling]
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfilled my needs
A lovely place to be
And so I learn to depend on me
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live desirably
No matter what they take from me
They can take away my dignity
Because I'm greatest, the love of all
Is happening to me, it's happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
[Outro: Vanessa Bling]
