Intro: (Patois)

Pickney you can't waste time

Youthman mi say, say you can't waste time

Time no mek fi waste so you can't waste you can't waste time

Likkle youthman listen mi, mi say you can't waste time, dont waste time, you can't waste time

The ever present effervescent ultimate wound healer

Wisdom lost within you, might shed a tear

Cause some of these young 1'2 don't get it its pathetic

Generic bubble gum tunes, make me diabetic

Fuck with my genetics at an atomic level

Rhyme for the impoverished the desolate the disheveled

Slightly temperamental suburban residential

Time not for wasting, no skirt chasing

Gotta keep my mind focused on the path I'm taking

Ear to the basement, on problem finger placement

CHORUS: (Patois)(x2)

We a go save the pickney dem

The likkle children

We a go save the pickney save save the pickeny

The likkle yout dem

Every generation on this earth is an improvement

Hopefully the kids don't make the same mistakes stupid

Teach em to plant seeds, pull out the weeds

Teach em about condoms bout HIV

Responsibility, is something not the be shirked

We need to keep them innocent, that's 1 of the perks

CHORUS: (Patois)(x2)

1 man standing on 2 feet 3 sides to every story

1 of them's defeat

Ironically, smaller frames retain what they see

Don't expose bullshit to likkle pickney

Let them read, forget TV

Turn off the radio, give them Bob Marley's CD

Let them learn from vets, the struggles, the success

The racial inequality that's ever present

We as the older generation need to face it

Hard cause they don't listen, steady complicated

Knowledge, wisdom, understanding is the tool kit

To personal, political & spiritual union.. my Niggas

CHORUS: (x4)

I'm just another Nigga

Just another Nigga with a microphone

Yo I'm not another Nigga
