The youths of Eglinton,
Won't put down their Remington.
The youth of Brixton,
They have their 45 Smith and,
Wesson pistol, pistol!
The youth 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 you strength.
The youth of Eglington,
Won't put down their Remington.
I say the youth of Brixton,
They put down their 45 Smith,
And Wesson pistol pistol.
(..)
Stop and listen;
They want you to fight the good fight.
But save you strength,
For strength of 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.
The youths of Eglington,
Won't put down their Remington.
The youths of Brixton,
They put down their 45 Smith.
And Wesson pistol, pistol..
