Youth Of Eglington

The youths of Eglinton

Won't put down their Remington

The youth of Brixton

They leave 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 muckery

Get up and get yourself together

You hear the words of Jah Jah

Coming from the hill top of Dabra Drabra

Give 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 is 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

(Poor Jill, she was a spill)

(She got hit by a stray shot)

The youths of Eglington

Won't put down their Remington

I say the youths of Brixton

They put down their .45 Smith and Wesson pistol, pistol

Pistol
