The youths of Eglinton
Won't put down their Remington
The youths of Brixton
They have their 45 Smith and Wesson
Pistol pistol
The youths 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 youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
I say the youths 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 fuckery
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 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

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 youths of Eglington
Won't put down their Remington
The youths 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...
