Changes
Oh dem a fight Rasta
Everywhere dem see Rasta dem a fight dem Rasta, ya
Tell 'em say only man we like King Selassie
Jah Rastafari
Dem nuh want the yutes dem fi grow, oh-oh
Mi tell dem about the seeds weh dem a sow
Hey Rastafari
King Selassie yuh kno, yeah, yuh kno, yuh kno
Dem no wan the yutes dem fi grow out here
They want dem fi cut dem hair and trim dem beard
And when the yutes dem bad dem don't tell
Oh, dem behaving like dem don't care
Dem no wan the yutes dem fi grow out here
Nuh want dem fi plait or even knot dem hair
When the yutes dem bad dem don't tell
Oh, dem behaving like dem don't care
Well if the yutes means the future why yuh shoot dem down?
When you should give dem all the knowledge
For dem to gain wisdom
So they could understand Jah works and his kingdom
And kno say run we life a get fling dung
And if yuh nuh give dem the basic necessities
And then the right things fi life, dem a get with ease
Mi wonder how dem get the cheese
Mi get all the guns that dem get to squeeze, yo
Dem no wan the yutes dem fi grow out here
They want dem fi cut dem hair and trim dem beard
And when the yutes dem balling out, dem don't tell
Oh, dem behaving like dem don't care
Dem no wan the yutes dem fi grow out here
Nuh want dem fi plait or even knot dem hair
When the yutes dem balling out, dem don't tell
Oh, dem behaving like dem don't care
Real long time yuh come 'round 'ere
You always up there, wen last yuh come dung 'ere?
Yuh mek di fire place and burn 'ere
Mi guess that's the reason yuh don't come 'ere
Yuh see no wonder why the yutes dem call yuh beast
Because dem 'ere, all day and night, all you do is feast
Yuh ate your all buy and yuh nuh even left the piece
And all the yutes dem a start fi eat out the street, yo
Dem no wan the yutes dem fi grow out here
They want dem fi cut dem hair and trim dem beard
And when the yutes dem balling out, dem don't tell
Oh, dem behaving like dem don't care
Dem no wan the yutes dem fi grow out here
Nuh want dem fi plait or even knot dem hair
When the yutes dem balling out, dem don't tell
Oh, dem behaving like dem don't care
Dem nuh wan the yutes fi grow
Dem nuh tell the yutes good seeds fi sow
Just like the breeze that needs to blow
The ghetto yutes dem a fi listen so dem kno
War and crime, got to cease
Turn right back 'pon the West and the high charter East
The I 'n' I inna the seas
Fi all the doors and life, Rastafari got the keys
A dem no wan the yutes dem fi grow out here
They want dem fi cut dem hair and trim dem beard
When the yutes dem balling out, dem don't tell
Oh, dem behaving like dem don't care
Dem no wan the yutes dem fi grow out here
