A youth and youth fi have a plan and have some ambition
And make sure unnu firm ina di Armageddon
So when you son become a man, him know just where you stand
Him know him poopa set it so him follow tradition
If Marcus Garvey say fi read then why some man ah pree
Cause knowledge ah the key and it wll set the people free
And Haile I philosophy is African unity
Unno watch dey segregation and social impurity
The race is not just for the swift but those who can endure
Make sure you have a steady footing in ah Zion door
And keep dem thoughts dem pure, Jah love is for the poor
But some likkkle bwoy ah burst some gun dem mooma can't afford
If Jah say blood fi run let Jah will be done
The heaven and the earth will pass away before him word no come
But if 'I'm rise without a cause there will be no reward
For you to enter Zion gates because you are a fraud
For the youths in the struggle
Fighting Guerilla warfare
Somalia to Ethiopia
From Egypt to Zimbabwe
Haile Selassie say ah war if colour is a scar
If one from every nation can come live up an ah par
So don't care who you are there's a brighter morning star
It's shining wake the town and tell the people near and far
You seek and you will search with science and research
The flesh it is the temple and the temple is the church
Haile Selassie say fi work so how some man ah lurks
Dem fix upon the cornerside like rubbish heap and dirt
Haile Selassie say ah one respect for every man
No care dey race, no care dey colour nor di religion
So make a decision fi bun di division
Cause each and every rasta youth to trot pon di mission

A young man and his crew gotta have a plan, some drive
And make sure you stand strong in the times of doom
So when your son grows up, he knows just where you stand
He knows his dad set it straight, and he’ll follow the path
If Marcus Garvey says to read, then why are some acting blind?
Cause knowledge is the key, it will set the people free
And Haile I’s wisdom is all about African unity
You gotta watch out for that separation and social mess
The race isn't just for the fast but for those who can last
Make sure you stay grounded before you reach Zion's door
And keep your thoughts pure, Jah’s love is for the poor
But some little punks are packing heat their moms can’t afford
If Jah says blood must flow, let His will be done
The heavens and the earth will pass before His words fall short
But if I rise up for no reason, there will be no reward
For you to enter Zion’s gates because you’re just a fraud
For the youth in the struggle
Fighting guerrilla warfare
Somalia to Ethiopia
From Egypt to Zimbabwe
Haile Selassie says it’s war if color is a scar
If one from every nation can come together and sit
So don’t care who you are, there’s a brighter morning star
It’s shining, wake the town and tell the people far and near
You search and you will find with science and research
The body is the temple, and the temple is the church
Haile Selassie says to work, so why are some just lurking?
They hang out on the corners like trash and dirt
Haile Selassie says we all respect each man
Don’t care your race, don’t care your color or your faith
So make a choice to burn the division
Cause every single Rasta youth is on a mission
From Portmore to Kingston
From Kingston to Montego Bay
From Seaview to Riverton
Come and hundreds proclaim
From Jungle to Rema
From Tivoli to Matthews Lane
From Southside to Telaville
From Iraq to the USA
From Waterhouse to Drewsland
Baneland to Delacre
Portmore, Kingston to boom
