Batty Rider Shorts

In come di one called Lila Iké
All di massive dem inna di place tonight
Push yuh two hand inna di air, mek me some lighter
Lighter, lighter, lighter

I see dem dealin' wid di yute dem like an asset
Selling out we daughters fi put money inna dem pocket
Gun, di yute dem lock it long before dem in dem teens
No English, Mathematics, just a 'matic in dem jeans
Say ah that ah di regime autocratic with di scheme
Cycle nah go stop it as dramatic as it seems
Our children dem have dreams, in their eyes I see di gleam
We need fi make dem know seh dem a King and dem a Queen

When di little girl ah walk
Just lowe her, make she pass
Every day you and yuh dirty big man friend ah talk
'Bout her batty rider shorts
How unnuh wan' fi take it off
Ah lurk inna di dark, ah dem 'ya ting 'ya get me cross

Mummy where is your daughter? (They're out there)
Oh, papa where is your son? (They're out there)
What's gonna happen to we future
When we daughter dem lost and we son ah bus gun?
Oh, mummy where is your daughter?
Oh, papa where is your son? (Where is your son?)
What's gonna happen to we future
When we daughter dem lost and we son ah bus gun?

Now if you really check di pree
Ah from di yard you bend di tree
Di yute first teacher is his immediate family
But Mummy haffi gone ah work, daddy inna penitentiary
So what's it gonna be? Who's gonna boil di baby tea?
Well Uncle n'ave no work, now him deh ah yard ah lurk
Somehow him find himself under likkle Nana skirt (oh no)
Traumatize her now, pin her future pon di line
Sharpen di lass dem, him cyaan' too hard to find

Oh, mummy where is your daughter?
Oh, papa where is your son? (Where is your son?)
What's gonna happen to we future
When we daughter dem lost and we son ah bus gun?
Oh, mummy where is your daughter? (They're out there)
Oh, papa where is your son? (They're out there)
What's gonna happen to we future?
What's gonna happen to di future?

Mommy where, where
Where is your son?
Where is your daughter?
What's gonna, ay
What's gonna happen?
