[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
In these days, don't beg for life
Want to take Kingston advice?
Oh please, don't beg for your life
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
In these days, don't beg for life
Want to take Kingston advice?
Please, please, don't beg for your life
[Post-Chorus]
In these days
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
In these days, I don't know what to do
(I don't know what to do)
The more I see (The more I see), the more I'm destitute
In these days, I don't know what to sing
(I don't know what to sing)
The more I know (The more I know), the less my tune can swing
In these days, you can get no rice (You can get no rice)
No razor blades (No razor blades), but you can get knife
In these days, see the people run
They have no food (They have no food), but the boy have gun
In these days...
In these days...
In these days...
