These Are The Days

Yea gotta stay conscious - huh - aaah

Gotta get ma bread gotta keep ma head up

These are the days

When the gal dem in dem teens have the aids

Nuff yute nuh have degrees but dem hav the grades

Picture dis an' try fi si it wid yuh ears

These are the times

When yuh sneakers ain't yuh only nines

Some weh call pon Jesus a dem commit the crimes

Nuff illiterate an' still a read between the lines

Those are the dudes,

Claim dem a yuh fren an' want yuh food

Then some a dem a rob while some a dem rape

While some a dem kill while some a dem shoot

Is like we need a rated R pon the news

These are the days

When yuh caan trust police wid dem dutty ways

Juvenile a run the streets wid the Ks

Yo yuh caan even rest in peace in yuh grave

Every day a di same [pause] different gal same [pause]

Different flow same spit different drugs same ship

Same Busy different hits

With different messages reaching out to everyone in all different communities

Yea

These are the things

That make a DJ wanna sing

Mi caan believe the babymadda dash the pickney in the thing we in

Babyfadda beat har wid the thing wah glistening

These are the days yuh haffi hustle in the street like a slave

Then boss a work the least get the raise

Yuh nuh si say di leaders need fi step up the pace

Listen to these facts

Who nuh hav a Smith & Wesson hav a Glock

Coppa whistle, smaddy missin' when you hear it stop

Anotha madda bawl while she suffer the loss

Welcome to the streets

Chalk line white sheet regular we see it

Less fortunate get treated like sum refugees

But don't get fed up keep ya head up stay on yuh feet

Right now we are at a stage

This day and age is like we locked up inna cage

A me a tell yuh seh di system need fi rearrange

It's kinda strange mi waan fi buy a Range but the price outta range

Watch the way you move

Killers in the street always got sup'm to prove

Watch yuh step yuh betta watch the way yuh choose

Be careful how yuh live yuh life cah dem will out yuh fuse

These days at the airport

Dem waan yuh tek off belt kick off Airforce

Dem tek weh cologne, roll-on, toothpaste weh dem hear bout

Mi feel woulda pull mi hair out

These are the days

When yuh haffi sing seh these are the days

Yo mi caan believe these are the days

While mi sing for da sake ya please play the phrase

Gotta get ma bread gotta keep ma head up [x3]

Stay focus gotta keep your head up

Gotta keep ma head up stay strong

Yea saviour

BUSSSSSSSSSSSYYYYYYY
