Youth Man
[Chorus]
Youth man
Youth man
Take a look and see
That they're filling your head with
Propaganda and hypocrisy
Brethren and a sistren stand up for your rights and say
"I and I will never give up the fight"
No oh
No I and I a fire burning bright Lord

Said they're coming claiming ownership of Jah Jah land
Bloodletting and suppressing all our father's plans
And then they come and say they're free from sea to shining sea
But they know nothing at all about I liberty, yeah

Said they're broadcasting their frequency to your radio
Preventing and suppressing conscious vibes to flow
And then they come and try to say that you need therapy
When they are the ones that are living in a fantasy

Said oh Lord
Up town top ranking
Said down in Babylon we still skanking
Oh up town top ranking
Said down in Babylon we still skanking
Cause even though we low
Our spirit is strong
It's spreading all over the weak hearts of a Babylon
And in this new dawn
It won't be long
Until we're drinking milk and honey inna Mt. Zion

[Chorus]
Youth man
Youth man
Take a look and see
That they're filling your head with
Propaganda and hypocrisy
Brethren and a sistren stand up for your rights and say
"I and I will never give up the fight"
No oh
No I and I a fire burning bright Lord

I said how many more years will you waste your precious time
Fixated on possessions while television destroys your mind?
How many more times will you work until your fingers bleed
When everything you need in life is there for free?

Oh my Lord
I can hear my God
Moaning through the cracks in the pavement
Saying, "What will be done
To clean up this mess that you've made?"
It's not too late
It's not too late
But it will be soon if we keep consuming at this rate
We need to break the trend
And start again
So that we can live to see the faces of our grandchildren
[Chorus]
Youth man
Youth man
Take a look and see
That they're filling your head with
Propaganda and hypocrisy
Brethren and a sistren stand up for your rights and say
"I and I will never give up the fight"
No oh

Youth man
Youth man
Take a look and see
That they're filling your head with
Propaganda and hypocrisy
Brethren and a sistren stand up for your rights and say
"I and I will never give up the fight"
No oh
No I and I a fire burning bright

Lord I and I a fire burning
Oh I and I a fire burning bright
Man a burning a burning a burning
Burning for Jah love

Oh Lord I said behold
That the seed of a perfect is planted in every man
It's planted in our hearts
It's planted in our hearts
And I say behold
For these are the times when everyone will have to overstand
Jah will burn in man
Oh that we've got to respect the Earth
And love one another
And we've got to do what Jah wants
And give thanks
And praise to the Father
