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
|
|

|
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
|

|
|
Watch the way you move
|
Killers in the street always got sup'm to prove

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