In these days, you can get no rice

No razor blades, but you can get knife

In these days, see the people run

They have no food, but the boy have gun In these days, they don't throw the stone

Nor use the voice, they use the gun alone

In these days to be an oddity

Be hunted down like a scarcity In these days, don't beg for life

Wanna take Kingston advice?

Oh please, don't beg for your life In these days the beat is militant

Must be a clash, there's no alternative

In these days, nations are militant

We have slavery under government In these days in the firmament

I look for signs that are permanent

In these days with no love to give

The world will turn with no one left to live In these days, don't beg for life

Wanna take Kingston advice?

Oh please, don't beg for your life

In these days In these days, I don't know what to do

The more I see, the more I'm destitute

In these days, I don't know what to sing

The more I know, the less my tune can swing In these days, you can get no rice

No razor blades, but you can get knife

In these days, see the people run

They have no food, but the boy have gun In these days, all the people run

In these days, let the boy have gun

In these days
