Lyrics Richie Spice – Youth Dem Cold

Text:

Whoah now, now…
Yeah, now, now, now, yes
Yeah-ah, ah…

In the streets it’s getting hot

And the youths dem a get so cold…
Searching for food for the pot
They’ll do anything to fill that gap, whoo

In the streets it’s getting hot
And the youths dem a get so cold…
Searching for food for the pot
They’ll do anything to fill that gap

As generation comes and grows
You gotta make preparation while the youths dem grow
It’s what you reap it’s wat you sow
The youths them have a life in the future
So when that’s then you know
If education is the key
Then tell me why the bigger heads a mek it so expensive fi we
Give them the key, oh set them free…

In the streets it’s getting hot
And the youths dem a get so cold…
Searching for food for the pot
They’ll do anything to fill that gap, whoo

In the streets it’s getting hot
And the youths dem a get so cold…
Searching for food for the pot
They’ll do anything to fill that gap

Oh na na na ay… eee-eee…
Oh na na na, oh na na na… na-na-na, na-na-na…

You gotta find a better way

Cause when me look ina Babylon me see a bearful play
And so the Gideon stay, yeah-ey!
All nation come together
Know that King Selassie is the truth and the light and the way
He’s the people, lead them in the right way, eey…

Cause In the streets it’s getting hot
And the youths dem a get so cold…
Searching for food for the pot
They’ll do anything to fill that gap, whoo

In the streets it’s getting hot
And the youths dem a get so cold…
Searching for food for the pot
They’ll do anything to fill that gap

You got to show the people there’s still a brighter way, eey!
I know for sure the sun will come out today, yeah-ey!
Vanity an’ elusion will have to fade away… yeah-ey!
And all the wicked deeds that done, I know you got to pay, yeah-ey!

Cause In the streets it’s getting hot
And the youths dem a get so cold…
Searching for food for the pot
They’ll do anything to fill that gap, whoo

In the streets it’s getting hot
And the youths dem a get so cold…
Searching for food for the pot
They’ll do anything to fill that gap

As generation comes and goes
You gotta make preparation while the youths dem grow
It’s what you reap it’s what you sow
The youths them have a life in the future
So when that’s then you know
If education is the key
Then tell me why the bigger heads a mek it so expensive fi we
Give them the key, oh set them free…
