Save the Children Songtext
von Macka B

You know it′s all about the youths
And can you see there's a systematic onslaught against them
Trying to corrupt and manipulate their mind
Well you can′t see it, you're blind
Makabee say

Save the children from the wickedness that a gwan
They're just holding on come on come on
Are you going to help the younger generation
Save the children from the wickedness that a gwan
They′re just holding on come on come on
Are you going to help the younger generation


The youths are being targeted
It′s like a military campaign
Bombarded with the negative
Again and again and again
They're messing up the youths dem mind
They′re messing up the youths dem brain
How long dem haffi face that struggle
How long dem haffi take that deh pain
How long we a go stand up and watch
Another youth just go down the drain
We can't just sit down and do nothing some of us don′t even complain
To get us all blaming the youths for the problems that is the aim
Well a time fi do something come offa your
Behind and stop give the youth dem the blame

Save the children from the wickedness that a gwan
They're just holding on come on come on
Are you going to help the younger generation
Save the children from the wickedness that a gwan
They′re just holding on come on come on
Are you going to help the younger generation


Are you ready fi the fight
Are you ready now with all of your might
Fi go fight fi the children's right
We haffi make some kind of sacrifice
Can't just think bout we self
We can′t leave it to nobody else
Mi say the youths dem need fi we help
Mi say come now come make we buckle up we belt
Because
Inna dem face dem a push obscenity
Dem no teach values or morality
Dem messing up the family
Making dem think that their parents are the enemy
Making illusion seem like reality
Making the normal seem like insanity
They′re taking the liberty
Instilling in the youths dem a selfish mentality
Mi haffi talk it mi can't keep silent
Look how dem glorify the sex and violence
Bad thoughts taking residence
Dem a take away the children′s innocence
Dem make wicked things seem so attractive
Give dem the junk food keep dem hyperactive
Dem even put alcohol inna dem pop
What kind of madness that

Save the children from the wickedness that a gwan
They're just holding on come on come on
Are you going to help the younger generation
Save the children from the wickedness that a gwan
They′re just holding on come on come on
Are you going to help the younger generation

Where are the examples the role models for the youths of today
A lot of dem are the wrong ones leading the youth dem astray
The youths they are sensible deep down they know the right way
And no matter what the TV say they know say badness don't pay
It′s our duty to help dem youth yah
Together we can all build a brighter future
Teach them values teach them culture
Try keep dem out of the hands of the vulture
Action now we can't wait no longer
Everyday the youths dem a get more anger
Can't just sit down and a hope and a wonder
We haffi make the youths dem stronger

Save the children from the wickedness that a gwan
They′re just holding on come on come on
Are you going to help the younger generation
Save the children from the wickedness that a gwan
They′re just holding on come on come on
Are you going to help the younger generation

We haffi all set an example to those
Young people who we bring into this world
Can't you see it′s part of a plan and
We have to give them a helping hand
They're after our youths they′re after
Their minds they're after their mentality
People are you with me
Follow Makabee pon da one yah
