Oh, yes, the youths, dem wailing
And them cryingWe heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a messageWe heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a messageHow many times do we have to see
Our brothers die in street?
From a bullet by another brother
Trying to find food to eatJust to survive we've gotta be enemies
That is how we get defeat
So that's why we're delivering this message
To every leader in the worldWe heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a messageWe heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a messageHow many times should we hear the voice
Of mothers cry and weep
Because they can't assist
The needs of their own youths in the communityOur people cry and ask for help
Still you don't care about their needs
I hope to see a change some day
This is to every leader in the worldWe heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a messageWe heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a messageWa, yoy, wa, yoy, wa, yoy, wa, yoy
Their wailing, their wailing
Wa, yoy, wa, yoy, wa, yoy, wa, yoy
Their wailing, their wailing
The people are wailingHow many times do we have to see
Our brothers die in street?
From a bullet by another brother
Trying to find food to eatJust to survive we've gotta be enemies
That is how we get defeat
So that's why we're delivering this message
To every leader in the worldWe heard the voices crying out
In the valley asking for help
And we're their only hope
So we're here sending a message
