Yeah, you know
But I say, the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart
Be acceptable
Or else you know that you're gonna be responsible
Seen?
And I say, you find yourself with a instrument of influence
Use it in a positive sense
Or else you're gonna pay the consequence
Rebel speaks again
I say, be careful what you teach the little children
Make sure a no something to hurt dem
Mind what you saying to mi sister
She could be the next Prime Minister
I say, fi, watch what you say to mi daughter
'Cause in the long run, she could be your doctor
How you fi mention that to mi son, Don?
A mi no want mi little boy fi turn a gunman
Still you never listen, your ears must be missing
Everyday you say you're gonna shine and a glisten
You're talking fi the scream, and the lighter, and the whistle
It look like you forget all about God's blessing
The words come from your mouth, meditation of your heart
Should be free from negative of every sort
Want a good cow, you better grow a good calf
Be careful what you inject, what you inject inna the youth dem thought
And just watch what you teach the little children
Make sure a no something to hurt dem
Mind what you saying to mi sister
'Cause she could be the next Prime Minister
I say, be careful what you're saying to mi daughter
'Cause in the long run, she could be your doctor
How you fi mention that to mi son, Don?
A mi no want mi little boy fi turn a gunman
Mister Tie and Mister Jacket, you false prophet
Leading the children astray, you fi stop it
Just a money rocket fi put inna your pocket
Give the people water fi carry in a basket
So, if you find yourself with a instrument of influence
Anytime you use it, use your conscience
The seed weh you sow, it is no accident
And none of you, none of you, none of you shall escape the judgement
And watch what you teach the little children
Make sure a no something fi hurt dem
I say fi, mind what you're saying to mi sister
'Cause she could be the next Prime Minister
I say, be careful what you're saying to mi daughter
'Cause in the long run, she could be your doctor
How you fi mention that to mi son, Don?
Mi no want mi little boy fi turn a gunman
If you say you love the youth and that is the truth
We will find out 'cause you are judged by the fruit
If you teach them fi shoot and turn prostitute
Fire pon your shoulder nah go dilute
Tomorrow man and woman is the youth of today
So, at this tender age you shouldn't lead dem astray
Your responsibility is to show dem the way
And if you don't, then somebody, somebody haffi pay
So, watch what you teach the little children
Make sure a no something fi hurt dem
Mind what you're saying to mi sister
'Cause she could be the next Prime Minister
How you fi say dem there things to mi daughter
When in the long run, she could be your doctor
No bother mention that to mi son, Don
'Cause mi no want mi little boy fi turn a gunman
