No War (feat. Chino)

Di kids just wanna play
But how can they play
If you burn their playground
Di kids just wanna smile
But how can they smile
When there's fear in your eyes

Do they have to learn the meaning of war?
Or can we make it extinct
From their reality?

The children wanna play, play, play, play, play
They don't want no war
They say they wanna smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
They don't want no war
They say they wanna play, play, play, play, play
They don't want no war
They say they wanna smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
They don't want no war

Well right now di youths
Them need a bigger space to roam
Right now they need a place
Where they can call their home
Babylon call them illiterate
And call dem clown
What you expect them to do
When they're on their own
Di dutty system Rockwotina
Come fi change it now
Me and Singing Sweet
We ago rearrange it now
Babylon treat we like animal
And cage we up
Give we some opportunity
No short change we up
A just love and a finesse
We want di youths fi see
We well want fi see dem grow
From root to tree
You have to think bout yourself
When you used to be
A juvenile
Jah Jah please bless di youths for me

They say they wanna play, play, play, play, play
They don't want no war
They say they wanna smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
They don't want no war
They say they wanna play, play, play, play, play
They don't want no war
They say they wanna smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
They don't want no war

Di kids just wanna love
But how can they love
When all they see is hate
Di kids just wanna sing
Songs that we sung
When we were young
Do they have to learn the meaning of war?
Or can we make it extinct
From their reality?

They say they wanna love, love, love, love, love
They don't want no war
They say they wanna sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
They don't want no war
They say they wanna love, love, love, love, love
They don't want no war
They say they wanna sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
They don't want no war

We want more fun fi di youths dem
No gun fi di youths dem
When the road dem block
You haffi run to di youths dem
More education, jobs, lump sums fi di youths dem
It's lifetime self-advocate come fi di youths dem

They say they wanna play, play, play, play, play
They don't want no war
They say they wanna smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
They don't want no war
They say they wanna love, love, love, love, love
They don't want no war
They say they wanna sing, sing, sing, sing, sing
They don't want no war
