Great tune

One of the best calypso songs ever in my life time🙌

This Master piece was done in '89 & it took us around 11 yrs to recognize these lyrics. Shorty died a pauper but the energies he left behind is priceless! The last time I met this Master he was chillin' out in the departure lounge of life at a nursing home! I spend about three hrs with him (many did not know where he was) and during that time he was falling in and outta sleep. He sincerely demanded of me not to leave, he had about 3 visitors that came and met me there and left me there!

Pauper. Not even. He lived a very rich life. His life and history is legendary.

He did not die a pauper. He left a very rich legacy of his truths, words, a wife. Beautiful children and grand children for a thousand generations. He is well decorated with many graces.

He died a wealthy man, being penny less means less karma, so his journey is much better than the so called "rich"

As a youth coming up whenever I heard this song I only think about cocaine/drugs. but as my maturity increasing, I can see how it goes deeper: Gangs,Alcohol,Sex>>STD's. the main highlight of this song for me is "I KNOW YOU’RE YOUNG AND RESTLESS---BUT---YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE CARELESS"

I heard this song when i was growing up... SO powerful. 2020 Who's listening Quality?

Thank you Ras Shorty I for this contribution, I played this song for my kids and we spoke for 3.5hrs about this song and everything around it . All I can say is tears of joy

Gone but not fogotten, Songs like this should always be used as a cultural template to assisit us in teaching and inspiring our children into the future...... The Caribbean have always produce some fabulous and great men and women. Listen to the gravity and seriousness of this tune, then the depth and soulful invocation Ras Shorty I delve into delivering this powerful tune........ " Watch out my children " This is not a simple man . I love your work brother.

This is such a classic. As old as it may be, this song is still relevant today and covers so many aspect of our lives in things that is brought to us as good but disguised and very destructive. Thank you Ras Shirty for still looking out for us. Your love for humanity and your people is appreciated. Rest In Peace & Rise In Power. RIP! RIP!🙏🏽

The actual Sabbath day is, Friday. As you read Genesis you will see that the day ends and begins at sundown " and the evenings and the morning it was the second day"; and so on and so on. So, the Sabbath day begins on Thursday evening at sundown and ends on Friday evening at sundown. Google "bible, instructions for keeping the Sabbath".

Praying for our land

tv6 song bai!

Could never forget this song as a youth hearing it on TV 6!!!

This song is so powerful this generation need to listen.. goosebumps all over

Now that I have children of my own .. this sound brings back soo much memories for me . I remember when he died , every child should hear this song .

greatest trini song ever and a great artiste..... god bless his children to carry on his legacy...... rest in peace Ras Shorty I

His lyrics and memories will live in eternity

Man!!! This song brought me so much comfort as a child and instilled so much self- awareness about my environment as I grew up around drug users.

The lesson in this song is priceless...and it'm much better than all the vybz kartel and movado nonsence that plays in the Caribbean these days. R.I.P. Ras Shorty I, your legacy lives on.

Still listening here in 2022. For some reason this song resonates with me.

The upload is highly appreciated

Christmas day of all days for some strange reason

Spoken: This song is dedicated to all my sons and daughters through the four corners of the earth. My sons and my daughters, to you I plead Watch, don't get no harrass but please take heed I know you don't want no sermon But my admonition is to guard you against all the evils of life That create strife and destroy life Walk cautiously, children, be alert Because you have an enemy that's roaming the earth I know you're young and restless but you don't have to be careless You see, sober thinking leads unto righteousness To happiness, spiritual bliss That's why I tell you this... Watch out my children! Watch out my children! It have a fellow called Lucifer with a bag of white powder And he don't want to powder your face But to bring shame and disgrace to the human race Leh we sing it again... Watch out my children! Watch out my children! It have a fellow called Lucifer with a bag of white powder And he don't want to powder your face But to bring shame and disgrace to the human race I give you my counsel because I want to see All you, young people, live righteously What you feed your mind with forms your characteristics And shape the path that you must walk tomorrow Darkness or glow, joy or sorrow That's why I am concerned... So, Watch out my children! Watch out my children! It have a fellow called Lucifer with a bag of white powder And he don't want to powder your face But to bring shame and disgrace to the human race You are young and your future is ahead of you Right or wrong, sweet or sour, depends on what you do Taking the wrong direction will drain your constitution And promote mental chaos and confusion Then corruption -------- a man And that is not God's plan Cuidado mis hijos!¡Cuidado mis hijos! Ha un hombre que se llama Lucifer, con una bolsa de polvo blanco Y él no quiere empolvar tu cara Pero para traer pena y desgracia para la raza humana

I find it strange that the music video is not on KZread. I remember watching it on TV6 growing up. Still blessed to hear his voice.❤

i love this song

The more I listen to this tune the more I overstand its greatness.

Today on this Palindrome date, I just want to say to each and every one, I love you. This music of ours binds us together and makes us stronger than ever ❤️

What a Classic. This along with Dr. Sparrow Classic " Education " should be sung in our schools regularly so their powerful messages would be understood and become embedded in the minds of our youths .

songs like dis is what us young folks need these days

I am 37yrs old as a child I grew up listening this song on TV nearly everyday and it stuck in my head the true lyrics in this song and I am going to make my children listen it also

only the very best came from him, he was one of the Greatest but was never recognized by his people.

I believe that this song along with Dr. Sparrow "Education" should be sung in the Primary schools at least once a week. The lessons in these songs are invaluable.

Only a fool would dislike this song is inspirational and am glad to be a trini thanks Jesus for let me born in this beautiful country amen

love this one.one of my favourite songs. one of my favorite artistes.

He was a great man. A living Legend

Music that plays to the heart

I like when he said what you feed your mind with can form your characteristics so be conscious of what u do and what u allow to shape u

Rah shorti i boy..great thanks for ur contribution to the earth with this song...Thankyou Sir

Oh my.......I remember we had to sing this song in school!!! It was a great anthem back then for the youths. The video was great too.

I thank you so much for leaving this pricelss lesson/instruction for the youths. Sadly not much pay attention but this song has been one of the pillows of guidance within my life. Thanks again R.I.P Ras....

This song was one of those staple songs on Caribbean radio.

This song bing tears listening to this because it's the reality of the he life we live. I don't know why Trindad and Tobago not taking heed to these words because Trinidad and Tobago don't seem to understand if we don't take it serious God will deal with us. Look what happening now in this twin island God dealing with us.

Will always, be best...RIP..ras

Fantastic tune. Phenomenal.
