Dillinger - Youth Man

From the killer LP "Cornbread"
1978
(from wikipedia)
As a young man growing up in Kingston, Dillinger would hang around Dennis Alcapone's El Paso sound system. This exposure would eventually lead to work in 1971, as a deejay on the Prince Jackie and El Paso sound systems, initially influenced by Big Youth, U Roy, and Dennis Alcapone, and performing as "Dennis Alcapone Jr.".
The first record producer he worked with was Lee "Scratch" Perry, who decided that Bullocks should change his name to Dillinger, after gangster John Dillinger. He was part of the second wave of deejay toasters who rose to prominence during the mid 1970s. In 1974, he recorded "Freshly" for Yabby You, and 1975 saw a slew of releases for a variety of producers including Augustus Pablo ("Brace a Boy"), Joseph Hoo Kim ("CB 200") and Coxsone Dodd ("Killer Man Jaro").[1] Albums for Dodd (Ready Natty Dreadie) and Hoo Kim (CB 200 and Bionic Dread) would soon follow.
His hit "Cokane In My Brain" which relied heavily on the main tune from "Do It Anyway You Wanna" by The People's Choice was hugely popular internationally, prompting a follow-up in a similar vein, "Marijuana In My Brain", which was a number 1 hit in the Netherlands. His output dropped somewhat in the mid 1980s but he returned to recording in the early 1990s. On September 17 2008, the Mars Volta covered this song during a concert at the Hammerstien Ballroom.

Di wicked have fi run, di wicked have fi run
Di wicked have fi run when di right time come
[Refrain]
Say, what a weepin' an' a wailin' an' a national feat
When di wicked an' di righteous meet

An' make di Jah never stop mi from do it

[Chorus]
Youthman, mind what you do
For everything you do, almighty Jah is watching you

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Every day that I can see in the city
Is a brother fighting against a brother
An' they don't want to love one another
Love one another like sisters an' brother
[Chorus]
Hey youthman, mind what you do
For every thing you do, almighty Jah is watching you
Hey youthman, mind what you say
For everything you say, Jah Jah hear what you say

[Chorus]
Hey youthman, mind what you say
For everything you say, mi say, Jah Jah hear you say

Every time you speak, mi say, your voice is heard
Watch your word, watch what you say, yeah, I would say
An' every thing that you do
[Verse 4]
An' every little thing that you say against your brother
Jah hear what you say, I would say
So, each an' every one of us got to love one another
An know yourself, an' be conscious in this time
[Chorus]
Hey youthman, mind what you do
For everything you do, a Jah is watching you
Hey youthman, mind what you say
For everything you say, Jah Jah hear what you say
[Refrain]
Say, what a weepin' an' a moanin' an' a national feat
When di wicked an' di righteous meet
Say, what a weepin' an' a wailin' an' a national feat
Jah Jah never stop I from do it
[Outro]
Hey youthman, mind what you do
For everything you do, Jah is watching you
Hey youthman, mind what you say
For everything you say, Jah hear what you say.
