Kingston Advice

[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...
