Lord woi
Yo oneness, Jah love the children
A child shall lead the way eno I know
So I n I got to be a part of the bridge that connects them from then til now
I love to watch the youths dem a grow
So much to learn, So much to know
But there's a problem when you can't control the seeds that you sowing
Now everybody get so big a weh di youths gone
Can't separate the elders from the newborn
I a call it modern generation
Me a call it, a modern world
The trees dem say dem overripe can't keep the fruits on
It's like foundation never set, a weh di roots gone
I a call it modern generation
Me bredda call it, a modern world
Hey, when last you see nuh gig a play
When last you see nuh marble
The village don't grow a child again so you affi watch weh you a do
When you a di good youth nowadays people won't see your value
But when you quenga pon di block a general dem call you
Well if di youths don't know dem culture
Social media govern the youngsters and dem cannot live a day without dem tablets
That mean the future get a puncher cause we leaders mind in the dumpsters
Now the cuts a open up without no bandage
Now everybody get so big a weh di youths gone
Can't separate the elders from the newborn
I a call it modern generation
Me a call it, a modern world
The trees dem say dem overripe can't keep the fruits on
It's like foundation never set, a weh di roots gone
I a call it modern generation modern
Me bredda call it, a modern world
If you're the one we set to lead
Never practice what you preach
Why you crucify the youths when dem a act like leggo beast
You send the cops Inna the street
And act like you no see it
Say the fire against the fire,
a Dovecot it benefit
The kids dem a do wrong
The parents dem relax
We know the child shall lead the way but who a go help to bridge the gap
If you never teach dem how to utilize the skills dem got
