In the streets, it's getting hot [Chorus]
And the youths dem a-get so cold (x2)
Searching for food for the pot (and/well)
They'll do anything to fill that gap, (wohoh/…)
As generation comes and (grows) [Verse]
You gotta make preparation while the youths dem
grow - It's what (you reap/you sow) (x2)
The youths them have a life in the future so,

If education is the key, then tell me why
The bigger heads a-make it so expensive for we

Set them free, eee x1) [Chorus] Richie Spice ║
