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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] police wid dem dutty ways 
Juvenile [bad word] the streets wid the Ks 
Yo yuh caan even rest in peace in yuh grave 
Every day a di same 
Different flow same spit different [bad word] same ship 
Same Busy different hits 
With different messages reaching out to everyone in all [bad word] 
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  [bad word] 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 
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 
Stay focus gotta keep your head up 
Gotta keep ma head up stay strong 
Yea saviour
