Hungry Days lyrics - Busy Signal

[Chorus:]

A bay hungry days wi face hi no

Look at the hungry days wi face hi no

That’s why the youths dem no inna no game thing

Youths focus and dem misbehaving

A bay hungry days wi face hi no

Because the system it a get so frustrating

And that’s why the crime rate escalating

A gun thing and every day a the same thing

[Verse 1:]

And mi seh what a feedback

What a feedback

Walk away from trouble then it end up pon yo heal back

Then pon the road a fly yo better look out fi the speed trap

Member monkey expose more when him inna tree top

And Government, hungry mouth deh yah fi feed that

Pickney fi go school and then yo know a school fee that

Don’t try fi mash up the youth dem future only idiot

How dem look pon a 13, 14, year old girl and a pree that

Fi go breed that

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]

A many rivers to cross a so mi hear Jimmy Cliff

Mi chad-ding through the valley

A stay focus no time fi slide weh nor drift

Move mountains wid faith, my talent as mi gift

Naw give it up, do a bay hand to mouth

Bigger heads beg you some help when wi starting out

Cause a you same one a come tax it out

Food inna wi mouth no bother box it out

Wi si the signs clear pon the road of life weh wi chad

Cause these are harder days

Mi know it hard but overcome

Overcome cause it no pretty inna the slum

Don’t meck none get you done

No give in cause better must come

[Chorus x2]
