[Lila Iké - Batty Rider Shorts lyrics]
I see them dealin wid the
Youth dem like an asset
Selling out wi daughters fi put
Money inna dem pocket
Gun the yute dem lock it from
Before dem in dem teens
No English, Mathematics
Just a ‘matic in them jeans
Say a that a di regime
Autocratic with the scheme
Cycle nah go stop it as dramatic as it seems
Our children they have dreams
In the eyes I see the gleam
We need fi make them know say them
A King and dem a Queen
When the little girl a walk
Leave her make she pass
Every day you and you dirty
Big man friend a talk
‘Bout her batty rider shorts
How unnu wah fi take it off
A lurk inna the dark
A dem yah ting yah get me cross
Mommy where is your daughter
Oh papa where is your son
What’s gonna happen to wi future
When we daughters dem lost
And we son a bus gun
Oh Mommy where is your daughter
Oh Papa where is your son
What’s gonna happen to wi future
When we daughters dem lost and
We son a buss gun
Now if you really check the pree
A from the yard you bend the tree
The youths first teacher is
His immediate family
But Mummy haffi gone a work
Papa inna penitentiary so what’s it gonna be
Whose gonna boil the baby tea
Well Uncle nah no work
Now him deh a yard a lurk
Somehow him find himself under
Likkle Nana skirt traumatize her now
Pin her future pon the line
Sharpen the lass dem
Him cya too hard to find
Mommy where is your daughter
Oh papa where is your son
What’s gonna happen to wi future
When we daughters dem lost
And we son a bus gun
Oh Mommy where is your daughter
Oh Papa where is your son
What’s gonna happen to wi future
What´s gonna happen to the future
Mommy where where
Where is your son where is your daughter
What’s gonna what’s gonna happen
Youth dem like an asset
Selling out wi daughters fi put
Money inna dem pocket
Gun the yute dem lock it from
Before dem in dem teens
No English, Mathematics
Just a ‘matic in them jeans
Say a that a di regime
Autocratic with the scheme
Cycle nah go stop it as dramatic as it seems
Our children they have dreams
In the eyes I see the gleam
We need fi make them know say them
A King and dem a Queen
When the little girl a walk
