The youths of Eglinton 
Won't put down their Remington 
The youth of Brixton 
They have their 45 Smith and 
Wesson pistol pistol 
The youth of Utica Avenue 
They just can't keep cool 
So much gun shot some 
cripple some turn fool 
They are responsible for a lot 
of children 
And they need food 
And they want to go to school 

I say the youth of Eglington 
Won't put down their Remington 
I say the youth of Kingston 
Won't leave their Magnum 
pistol pistol 
very thin line to start the crime 
Who will be the first to 
volunteer 
You love you love your [bad word] 
Get up and get yourself together 
You hear the words of Jah Jah [bad word] from the hill top of 
Dabra Dabra 
Keep you strength 

The youth of Eglington 
Won't put down their Remington 
I say the youth of Brixton 
They put down their 45 Smith 
and Wesson pistol pistol 

Stop and listen 
They want you to fight the good fight 
But save you strength 
For strength of life 
The youths in Africa 
All a dem a thriller 

I say the youth of Eglington 
Won't put down their Remington 
The youth of Kingston 
Won't leave their Magnum 
pistol pistol 
Poor Jill she was a spill 
she got hit by a stray shot 

The youths of Eglington 
Won't put down their Remington 
The youths of Brixton 
They put down their 45 Smith 
and Wesson pistol pistol
