Black Uhuru - Youth of Eglington lyrics
[Black Uhuru - Youth of Eglington lyrics]
See blood, don't mean no harm, blood
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Brixton
They have their 45 Smith and Wesson pistol
Pistol
The youth on Utica Avenue
They just can't keep cool
So much gunshot, some cripple, some turn fool
They are responsible for a lot of children
And they need food
And they want to go to school
I say, the youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say, the youths of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnun pistol, pistol
A very thin line to start the crime
Who will be the first to volunteer?
You love, you love your mockery
Get up and get yourself together
Hear the words of Jah Jah
Coming from the hill top of Dabra Dabra
(Give you strength)
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say, the youths of Brixton
They put down their 45
Smith and Wesson pistol, pistol
Stop and listen
They want you to fight the good fight
But save you strength, for strength is life
The youths in Africa, all of dem are thriller
I say, the youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnum pistol, pistol
Poor Jill, she was a spill
She got hit by a stray shot
Jill, she was a spill
She got hit by a stray shot
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say, the youths of Brixton
They put down their 45
Smith and Wesson pistol, pistol
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Brixton
They have their 45 Smith and Wesson pistol
Pistol
The youth on Utica Avenue
They just can't keep cool
So much gunshot, some cripple, some turn fool
They are responsible for a lot of children
And they need food
And they want to go to school
I say, the youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say, the youths of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnun pistol, pistol
A very thin line to start the crime
Who will be the first to volunteer?
You love, you love your mockery
Get up and get yourself together
Hear the words of Jah Jah
Coming from the hill top of Dabra Dabra
(Give you strength)
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say, the youths of Brixton
They put down their 45
Smith and Wesson pistol, pistol
Stop and listen
They want you to fight the good fight
But save you strength, for strength is life
The youths in Africa, all of dem are thriller
I say, the youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnum pistol, pistol
Poor Jill, she was a spill
She got hit by a stray shot
Jill, she was a spill
She got hit by a stray shot
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say, the youths of Brixton
They put down their 45
Smith and Wesson pistol, pistol
