It's important to stay aware and alert in these times filled with challenges and risks.

Nowadays, your shoes may not be the only weapons you need to protect yourself. Some people who claim to be religious are the ones committing crimes. Many who lack education still have the ability to understand complex issues.

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 people who pretend to be your friends but only want to take advantage of you. Some rob, others rape, and some even resort to murder. We need truthful and graphic news to shed light on what's happening in society.

In these times, police officers can't be trusted due to their corrupt tactics. Children are carrying automatic weapons and even the dead can't find peace. Every day is repetitive with the same things happening, including the same drugs and messages across diverse communities.

These are the situations that inspire DJs to create music. It's unbelievable that mothers are neglecting and fathers are abusing their children. These are times in which you have to work hard on the streets just to survive while your boss makes more money with little effort. It's time for leaders to take action and 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
If you don't have one type of gun, you have another. When the police whistle is blown, someone is missing. Another mother cries over the loss of a loved one.

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
This is what the streets are like, with white chalk lines and dead bodies a common sight. Those who are less fortunate are often treated like refugees. Despite these challenges, don't give up or get discouraged. Stay strong and keep moving forward.

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 It's kinda strange mi waan fi buy a Range but the price outta range
At this moment, we are in a situation where it feels like we are trapped in a cage. The system needs to be reorganized, and it's strange that I want to buy a Range Rover, but it's beyond my financial means.

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
Be careful and mindful of your actions. There are killers in the streets, constantly seeking to prove themselves. Watch your step and make sure to choose wisely. Be careful how you live, or else they will push you over the edge.

Even at airports, authorities are asking you to remove your belts and shoes. They take away items like cologne, deodorant, and toothpaste that they've only heard of before. It's frustrating and stressful.

These are the times where we have to acknowledge and admit that things are tough. It's hard to believe, but it's the reality. Through my music, I'm singing these words in the hopes that people will listen and understand. I have to keep working hard and maintaining a positive outlook, and encourage others to do the same.
