LYRICS:
I see them dealin wid the youth dem like an asset
Selling out wi daughters fi put money inna dem pocket
Gun the yute dem lock it from before dem in dem teens
No English, Mathematics, just a ‘matic in them jeans
Say a that a di regime autocratic with the scheme
Cycle nah go stop it as dramatic as it seems
Our children they have dreams, In the eyes I see the gleam
We need fi make them know say them a King and dem a Queen
Pre-chorus
When the little girl a walk
Leave her make she pass
Every day you and you dirty big man friend a talk
‘Bout her batty rider shorts
How unnu wah fi take it off
A lurk inna the dark
A dem yah ting yah get me cross
-Chorus -
Mommy where is your daughter
Oh papa where is your son
What’s gonna happen to wi future
When we daughters dem lost
And we son a bus gun
Oh Mommy where is your daughter
Papa where is your son
What’s gonna happen to wi future
When we daughters dem lost and we son a buss gun
Now if you really check the pree
A from the yard you bend the tree
The youths first teacher is his immediate family
But Mummy haffi gone a work
Papa inna penitentiary
So what’s it gonna be
Whose gonna boil the baby tea
Well Uncle nah no work
Now him deh a yard a lurk
Somehow him find himself under likkle Nana skirt
Traumatize her now
Pin her future pon the line
Sharpen the lass dem, him cya too hard to find
-Chorus -
Outro
Mommy where
Where
Where is your son
Where is your daughter
What’s gonna
What’s gonna happen

It's sad that songs like this with such a strong message go unnoticed unlike the other nonsense that blows up smh... Great message miss Lila ika your songs are always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@FriendsTalkLive]

Agreed!!

[@daniellemuir1317]

It frustrates me soooo much. Like dis girl is on a whole other level enuh and what we hype is every generic whack song abt sumbody's good ole or buddy 🙄🙄🙄

[@Fredg110]

half a million views in a month is far from unnoticed, Lila is getting her flowers dont worry jahs message is reaching out

[@normanfl6592]

It boggles my mind to see a song with a powerful message not getting massive viewership.Maybe because she is not half naked and been degenerate or vulgar.

[@benten6259]

Very sad in this country

[@mona87lisa1]

Thank you so much for touching this topic. We have so many of us dealing with childhood trauma from being molested as children by adults who were entrusted to protect us. When we spoke up we were painted as liars and the embarrassment alone caused us to shut down. 😢.

[@staceyharris672]

Big up!!

[@KingAlly]

This song is a message well delivered

[@nattyphysicist]

🙏🏼

[@analiseferguson3191]

One thing I hate about Jamaican culture for sure. And I don't use the word culture lightly. It's DEFINITELY ingrained into the fabric of our society. Sick 🤢

[@jeremybloods2743]

Stay up

[@mickysings7934]

Lila getting her braids done by the women in the community is symbolic. Installing a foundation of principles, beauty, the good, bad & everything in between that she will need in this life. Lila will decide what to keep with her & what will be leave behind. True Lioness 🤗

Lila don't stop burning these atrocities. You hit the point exactly: what's going to happen to our future?!

[@charlesgore5827]

This young woman is the current Goddess of our beloved reggae music. I hope and pray that the demonic forces that surround the entertainment industry don't get the chance to buy her out or try to destroy her once it becomes apparent that she can not be bought.
