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!
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.
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"
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
The legendary Ras Shorty I was the Gentleman who created Jamoo /Soca music!!! I had the pleasure of meeting Him and listening to His wise words spoken!!! A Blessing and legacy He left Us all!! ❤❤❤
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!🙏🏽
@@GodsChildNYC Jesus(Yeshua) hid in Egypt from King Herod. What does that say about his appearance? I don't think a white person could hide in an African nation very well.
One of Lord Shorty's most powerful Calypso and still relevant today !!! What a gifted composer we've lost ****** Still very meaningful today...... R.I.P Ras' Shorty.
I remember getting goosebumps listening to this as a child and listening to it now, I still get them. My body is cold and got light headed. This is such an amazing song, one of the greatest if not the greatest and deserves more airplay worldwide!!!! A masterpiece!!
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".
Thank you so much for this song,my whole class needs to sing this for our school.This song is very nice,much love❤ and makes me emotional for some reason😢Thanks again😊whoever hates this song does not have a heart💔
My fav song since a child......this song will never die....it's a piece so special to the human race......thank you Lord for these wonderful people who create such great music.
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 .
Came across this song while searching for a sparrow song. I've had it on repeat ever since then. God bless his legacy and may his music and memories live on.
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.
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.
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 ❤️
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....
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
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
One of the greatest song EVER WRITTEN

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

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.
Pauper? Hahaha! Money is not wealth!
Money is not wealth so when u speak about greats watch what u saying he died a legend
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"
this song always gives me goosebumps!
As soon as that first harmony hits... "guide you against all the evils of life" so perfect
Me too
For real
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

this is one of the most powerful songs I have heard for a long time,,,, that would be relevant for all times !!
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
This made my day
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
2021 and still listening 💯 ✅
