Tony Rebel - Teach The Children lyrics

I say the words of your mouth 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 'cause 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 'cause 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 'cause 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 'cause you are judged by the fruit If ya teach dem fi shoot And turn prostitute Hang upon your shoulder, never dilute Tomorrow 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 don't 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)
