Lyrics

Verse 1:
Likkle Ann-kay, lef school weh day;
Waan find a job now; but a no work no pay!
Abitions in har mind, but a so di system stay.
Caa now she on di cross road, Should she put her body pon display?

Chorus:
Weh yu expect she fi do? When di system set against you.
Weh you expect she fi do-oo. When di system set against you.
Weh yu expect she fi do? When di system set against you.
Weh you expect she fi do-oo. When di system set against you.

Verse 2:
Omar seh him a badman, cause a dad him neva have one.
Role models in his teens like on the TV a bare gunman.
Fi protect him life, him seh a tool him need fi have one.
Now him waa reach him dreams him can be a doctor or a deadman.

Chorus:
Weh yu expect him fi do? When di system set against you.
Weh you expect him fi do-oo. When di system set against you.
Weh yu expect him fi do? When di system set against you.
Weh you expect him fi do-oo. When di system set against you.

Verse 3:

Chorus:
Weh yu expect dem fi do? When di system set against you.
Weh you expect dem fi do-oo. When di system set against you.
Weh yu expect dem fi do? When di system set against you.
Weh you expect dem fi do-oo. When di system set against you.

Bridge:
Weh yu expect dem fi do, weh yu waan dem do?
Set an example weh yu waan dem do.
Set yuh example now now, oh-oh oh

Chorus: Repeat chorus

Outro:
I need to talk to you! All the grownups
The youths are the future and that hasn’t been more true than now
Don’t give up on them, they’re important
I want you to know that;
The things that they do are a reflection on us,
Whether that be their failures or their accomplishments.
You need to help the youths realize their true potential
And by doing that, you might be helping them to meet your expectations
