THINK WELL
By Black Stalin
Album: Moving Up, 1988
Arranged By Emanuel Ector

Mister Decision Maker, leh we all get together and for once discuss a serious matter
For when making decision for we youth man and woman
This is one thing I think we must understand
Them same youths for who we planning, is them future, them ent joking
So we must do some serious thinking
For if we leave them a world with problem to deal with as men and women
This is what we could always expect from them.

Plenty lightning and thunder, brimstone and fire
If we don't plan well, I say, for we children future
They would never forgive we, as we did them before we
Because we know we parents never had the opportunity
But we got it now for a fact, so we got to clean up we act
'Cause the men and women of tomorrow ent taking that.

Every day we keep hearing how parents keep complaining
The generation gap widening
Today daughter cussing mother, son fighting with father
No way could the young and old get together
But if you make your children, grow and educate them
And later on in life you start getting problem
You must stop, look up and look down, make a sound evaluation
And find out exactly where you went wrong.

Otherwise is lightning and thunder, brimstone and fire
If we don't plan well, I say, for we children future
They would never forgive we, as we did them before we
Because we know we parents never had the opportunity
But we got it now for a fact, so we got to clean up we act
'Cause the men and women of tomorrow not taking that.

Look around and see evidence, even babies in their innocence
Like if they born with their own intelligence
But the things they used to teach we when we reach the age of twenty
The eight year-old done know that already
Even five year-old and under, today playing with computer
So we must see it's a serious matter
For if we don't take stock with what we doing
Then that answer for which we looking
As they say, would be revealed unto babes and sucklings.

And then it goin' be lightning and thunder, brimstone and fire
If we don't plan well, I say, for we children future
They would never forgive we, as we did them before we
Because we know we parents never had the opportunity
But we got it now for a fact, so we got to clean up we act
'Cause the men and women of tomorrow not taking that.

Go ahead and blame your leader as the reason for your failure
And tell yourself you out the hot water
You don't have to convince me about your sincerity
Is your children and them who would write your history
So you just keep mamguying, tell yourself the youths ent looking
And later on find they misbehaving
Is the inheritors of tomorrow is the ones who got to make you know
Whether your life would be happiness or sorrow.

Otherwise is lightning and thunder, brimstone and fire
If you don't plan well, I say, for your children future
They would never forgive we, as we did them before we
Because we know we parents never had the opportunity
But we got it now for a fact, so we got to clean up we act
'Cause the men and women of tomorrow not taking that.

[Think well. We ent taking that!
Think well. We ent taking that!
Think well. We ent taking that!
Think well. We ent taking that!...]
