Youthman
Feat Mikey Spice

Children honor thy mother and thy father
That on earth thy days may be longer
Be wise and rise

Prez Brown and Mikey Spice: Speak the truth and speak it ever
Cause it what it will He who hide the wrong it does
Does the wrong thing still
Grandma use to tell me Grandpa use to tell me
Mama use to tell me Papa use to tell me
You nuh fi walk in a posse No walk in a gang
So I'm walking the street alone
Why won't ease of youthman

P Brown: Youthman listen to your father and become a wise son
Make sure you not wrong when the right time come
Girls listen to your mother and become a wise child
That in your later days you won't act wild

Chorus:
Children hear what your mother say
Hear what your father say
Take them advice and you will never go astray

Mikey Spice: Mama use to warn me Come home very early
Papa use to beat me Not to walk in a posse

P Brown: Labour for learning before you grow old
Wisdom is better than silver and gold Silver and gold will vanish away
But anything you learn will never decay

Chorus

P Brown: Lying lips are abomination
Only by pride cometh contention Receive knowledge and instruction
Make haste to learn what is right from wrong
