Skindred - The Kids Are Right Now lyrics

Black child, born Jamaica Crossed the ocean on a wind-ward sailboat Twisted guitar he's a got an' a gangster Rude boy from the trench-town streets And he knows, he knows he's gonna have it all He's standin' like he's 10 feet tall He knows he's gonna have it all The streets, the rise, the fall Loud music, salvation And the kids are right now Loud music’s my salvation And the kids are right now White child, raised in Brixton Born again through the radio sound And lot of tape and a lot of distortion Studies and he makes the sound And he knows, he knows he's gonna have it all He' standin' like he's 10 feet tall He knows he's gonna have it all The streets, the rise, the fall Loud music salvation And the kids are right now Loud music’s my salvation And the kids are right now Loud music's salvation And the kids are right now Loud music’s my salvation And the kids are right now Loud music’s my salvation And the kids are right now Dey're right now Black child, born Jamaica Crossed the ocean on a wind-ward sailboat Twisted guitar he's a got an' a gangster Rude boy from the trench-town streets And he knows, he knows he's gonna have it all He's standin' like he's 10 feet tall He knows he's gonna have it all The streets, the rise, the fall Loud music salvation And the kids are right now Loud music’s my salvation And the kids are right now Loud music’s my salvation And the kids are right now Loud music’s my salvation And the kids are right now Pa** it on, pa** it on, pa** it on, we're pa**in'
