Shottin Up De Place
Lord, pray for the youths,
They are acting out of characterand their behaviour is no longer cute,
Dem shottin hup de place far no reason at all,
causing innocent people fe tek de fall,
The youth dem restless, angry and
disenchanted, through dat dem a act
violent and haunted,
Jesus, tek dem under advisement and
cure dem confusion,
Save em from detention and persecution,
De Youth dem have gone astray,
and the future looks dim and gray,Lord, help us to help dem to
stop shottin up de place.
Amen
