Naah Leggo - Ziggy Marley And The Melody Makers

The children in the ghetto want food to eat

The people on the street want somewhere to sleep

Help them Lord (repeat)

You can’t blame the youth them

You can’t blame the youth them

They are victims of poverty

But we got to dread

Hang on in there

We naah leggo, we can’t let go

We naah leggo, we can’t let go

We naah leggo, we can’t let go, we naah leggo

Time gets so hard;

everyone is going crazy

And the youth them thinking

About taking up their arms again

Because you bound us here in poverty

I said you hold us here in captivity

Everywhere we turn it is another story

I said everywhere we turn it is another story

Repeat Chorus

Wake up at 6:00 A. M

No one wants to be their friends

Is it because they don’t wear no shoes

Make you don’t like them

Is it because they ain’t got no clues

Everytime I see your face you are smiling

And your leadership on the earth is a big disgrace

Repeat Chorus

The children in the ghetto want food to eat

The people on the street want somewhere to sleep

Help them Mr. Big Man, Mr. Big Man

You can’t blame the youth them

You can’t blame the youth them

They’re gonna get even

You can’t blame the youth them

No, you can’t, president

You can’t blame the youth them

They are victims of your poverty now

They are veterans of your captivity
