Batty Rider Shorts

[Vers 1]

I see them dealin wid the youth dem like an asset

Selling out wi daughters fi put money inna dem pocket

Gun the yute dem lock it from before dem in dem teens

No English, Mathematics, just a ‘matic in them jeans

Say a that a di regime autocratic with the scheme

Cycle nah go stop it as dramatic as it seems

Our children they have dreams, In the eyes I see the gleam

We need fi make them know say them a King and dem a Queen

[Pre-Chorus]

When the little girl a walk

Leave her make she pass

Every day you and you dirty big man friend a talk

‘Bout her batty rider shorts

How unnu wah fi take it off

A lurk inna the dark

A dem yah ting yah get me cross

[Chorus]

Mommy where is your daughter

Oh papa where is your son

What’s gonna happen to wi future

When we daughters dem lost

And we son a bus gun

Oh Mommy where is your daughter

Oh Papa where is your son

What’s gonna happen to wi future

When we daughters dem lost and we son a buss gun

[Vers 2]

Now if you really check the pree

A from the yard you bend the tree

The youths first teacher is his immediate family

But Mummy haffi gone a work

Papa inna penitentiary

So what’s it gonna be

Whose gonna boil the baby tea

Well Uncle nah no work

Now him deh a yard a lurk

Somehow him find himself under likkle Nana skirt

Traumatize her now

Pin her future pon the line

Sharpen the lass dem, him cya too hard to find

[Chorus]

Mommy where is your daughter

Oh papa where is your son

What’s gonna happen to wi future

When we daughters dem lost

And we son a bus gun

Oh Mommy where is your daughter

Oh Papa where is your son

What’s gonna happen to wi future

What´s gonna happen to the future

[Outro]

Mommy where

Where

Where is your son

Where is your daughter

What’s gonna

What’s gonna happen
