TEACH DE YOUTE DE TRUTE written by Sheldon Manoo (1995)


SPOKEN:
Dis world ar full of unconscious people
Unjust and ignorant ole folks
But wid dem animal instinct de mar manage to procreate
It’s ah shame really when you think of it
Buh wah we ar go do?
I got ar message I got to send
Hope you heed cause now Ar gonna sen it! Me sing!

CHANT:
You afi teach de youte de trute my friend
Teach dem right over and over again
Not like corruption and segregation
Teach dem love and peace and education
And make them take dem first communion
For this world should be in union
Teach de youte de trute Ah say
Show dem proper value every day
Doh ever leh dem go astray
Shoe dem how to pray and how to play
Guide and protect make dem innocence stay
Teach de youte, mold de youte like clay

SING:
Teach de youth
De truth
Teach dem right
From wrong
Teach truth on
To de youth
Please heed my
Pleading song!

CHANT:
When yuh have ah young one ina yuh life
Man or woman yuh gotta sacrifice
You might have done something that’s wrong
Doh show de youte dat to make dem go down
Just ar rise above and put it in de past
Teach de youte de trute and make it last
Cause if yuh nah teach de youte
Dey go substitute
And be so miserable
Get themself in trouble

SING:
Teach de youth
De truth
Teach dem right
From wrong
Teach truth on
To de youth
Please heed my
Pleading song!

SPOKEN:
Truth! It’s such ah funny funny thing
Your truth may not be mine
But there is One Truth that we ALL must live by
That’s de truth given to us by GOD!
So say your prayer!
Read up de BIBLE!
And de TRUTH shall be unfolded unto you!

(Guitar Solo)

CHANT:
And if yuh never did onething good in ar yuh life
Show de youte de trute when dey fall under your eyes
When yuh driving on de road kinda drive precautiously
When yuh walk into ah place doh be unmannerly
All de lies and deception that ar in yuh head
Doh show de youte , teach de trute instead
Cause trute is de only thing to set you free
So teach de youte de trute I beg you please
For de future in in de hand of de young
And we want a safe world where they all belong
So teach de youte de trute when yuh teaching
Sign ar truce contract and never ever be breaching!

SING:
Teach de youth
De truth
Teach dem right
From wrong
Teach truth on
To de youth
Please heed my
Pleading song!
