(intro)
why you no tell dem(?? man)di truth
(you have to understand yourself you seet)
too much violence

come like pestilence
(tell dem)
are you proud of your action
talk to di youths dem now
you dont know wah gwaan you seet
alborosie seh dat

(chorus)
talk to your children
dont tell dem lies
no deh pon your ??? when you came out last night
talk to your daughter
talk to your son
tell dem you a badman
takin life with your gun

(verse 1)
selassie I judgement will slew dem
no exception di trinity fiyah a go bun dem
armagiddeon come wicked pon di murderer shoulder
dutty deputy souljah
badman and killer seh

just to fight by your suit
kill and rob another youth
that's how you get your pay-roll

(chorus)
talk to your children

(verse 2)

everytime you pull di trigger just fi get a man life
lucifer bless up your children unwise
mount zion break up di rain and di storm

no revolver 99 ??
put all inna di chest of selassie ? the greater well then

(chorus)

(verse 3)

noh deh pon your ??? when you came out last night
talk to your daughter

tell dem you a badman
takin life with your gun
