Youth of Eglington
See blood
Don't mean your own blood
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Brixton
They have their four five Smith and Wesson
Pistol pistol
The youths of Utica Avenue
They just can't keep cool
So much gun shot
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 youth of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say the youth of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnum
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
You hear the words of Jah Jah
Coming from the hill top
Of Dabra Dabra
Keep your strength
The youth of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say the youth of Brixton
They put down their four five Smith and Wesson
Pistol pistol
Stop and listen
They want you to fight the good fight
But save your strength
For strength is life
The youths in Africa
All a dem a thriller
I say the youth of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youth of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnum
Pistol pistol
Poor Jill she was a spill
She got hit by a stray shot
Poor Jill she was a spill
She got hit by a stray shot
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Brixton
They put down their four five Smith and Wesson
Pistol pistol
Don't mean your own blood
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Brixton
They have their four five Smith and Wesson
Pistol pistol
The youths of Utica Avenue
They just can't keep cool
So much gun shot
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 youth of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say the youth of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnum
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
You hear the words of Jah Jah
Coming from the hill top
Of Dabra Dabra
Keep your strength
The youth of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say the youth of Brixton
They put down their four five Smith and Wesson
Pistol pistol
Stop and listen
They want you to fight the good fight
But save your strength
For strength is life
The youths in Africa
All a dem a thriller
I say the youth of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youth of Kingston
Won't leave their Magnum
Pistol pistol
Poor Jill she was a spill
She got hit by a stray shot
Poor Jill she was a spill
She got hit by a stray shot
The youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Brixton
They put down their four five Smith and Wesson
Pistol pistol
