Now Babylon I want you fi know say
I and I no blood thirsty
I and I no want no one life
But what is in the future
As Nostradamus say
No it have fi go and what Jah say it no so
And so a just so

And if you fight against the youth-man of today
Man, blood a go run
Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth
And if you fight against the youth-man of today
Man, blood a go run

Can't you see that Tivoli Garden
It a get green
And the youth them from Rema
And in a jungle
Them don't decide to rob
And the youth them from Mandiville and Franklintown
Nah pick no bag
And the youth them from August Town
And Grant's Pen and all bout
Them going good

And if you fight against the youth-man of today
Blood a go run
And if you fight against the youth-man of today
Blood a go run

Can't you see the battle stick them
Gone down in a ground
Yet don't grow
And the long gun that use to rule the people
Them start to stick

So if you fight against the youth-man of today
Man, blood a go run
And if you fight against the youth-man of today
Blood a go run

Can't you see that there is murder
Circling around the colleges
And guns and knife in the classroom
Is the commonest thing

Can't you see that Tivoli Garden
Still getting green
And the youth them weh push cart in a carnation market
Start to walk clean and clean
Ambitious

And if you fight against the youth-man of today
Blood a go run
And if you fight against the youth-man of today
Blood a go run

Can't you see that all the youth-man them need is education
