Topper Headon - Kingston Advice lyrics

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 In these days, don't beg for life Want to take Kingston advice? Oh please, don't beg for your life 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 2) In these days, I don't know what to do The more I see, the more I'm destitute In these days, I don't know what to sing The more I know, the less my tune can swing (Chorus 1) In these days, all the people run In these days, let the boy have gun In these days
