Chorus:
Don't talk if you don't have nothing useful to say, oh
no
Ca so much of the youth them, them going astray, yes
Don't glorify the gangsta, don't glorify the p.i.m.p.,

There is no good in that, you’re only helping the system
We don't want our daughters on the corner selling
herself, oh no
We don't want our son them to be mercenaries, oh no
We want them in the truth's and rights, and inna Jah,
Jah ways, yes
So don't mislead the youths for your love of vanity
I beg you talk about the higherman, and bout the
rastaman, who
Beat the congo drums inna the hills, teach them bout the
conscious man and…
The right woman, who shows us right livity
Talk about our heroes, and bout our sheroes, who help
uplift our communities
Talk about Jah warriors, Jah freedom fighters
Chorus:
You’re only helping the system(3x)
We don't want our daughters on the TV exposing herself,
oh no
We don't want our brothers locked away inna prison cell,

So don't mislead the youths for your love of vanity
I beg you teach them some morality, and to have dignity,
and to
Be masters of their destiny. Teach them the importance
to be tolerant of the differences in
Humanity, don't glorify no vanity and no murderer cause
that will keep them in poverty
Talk about Jah warriors, Jah freedom fighters, Oh yeahee
