Testo Last Days - Body Count
Testo della canzone Last Days (Body Count), tratta dall'album Violent Demise: The Last Days
Last days
Last days
As I stare up the stage and try to understand
Why you feel that I am someone you can ID with
How, when you and I come from two totally polar opposite lifestyles
Under normal circumstances I'd be waking
You and your rich parents up at gunpoint
Demanding the combination to the wall safe
While your little sister screams, suffering from pistol-whipped pain
Or looking back at you in a courtroom
Filled with absolutely none of my peers
Why are you here?
Is this some voyeuristic bullshit, to see Black man sin?
Or maybe, just maybe, you've been subjected
To so many audio drive-bys of gangs
That you yourself have become numb to the pain like me
And you, check this out, have become insane from overdoses of reality
Well, stomach this, at the rate we're going right now, white boy
Yeah you, you and I will die holding each other's throats
That's real, the world's at war, we're at war
Check yourself, don't believe me, check your goddamn self
It's going down, 1997, see the light
Red lasers rip through my neighborhood at night
Time is short, homicide is the number one sport
Last days
Last days
These are the last days
So now that all the reality's soaked in
You start to reanalyze every word I ever said
Am I a racist?
Or am I just someone who tells it how the fuck it is?
Well, the truth of the thing is, I was raised on crime
Walking through an environment so filled with so much hate
Honestly I do not feel that you are able
To comprehend the magnitude of the evil
But trip this, there were no white faces there
Just black on black genocide
The only white men there were the cops
That showed up late in the fourth
To outline the teenage bodies in chalk
So who do I hate?
Do I hate you?
Do I hate myself?
Or possibly, am I intelligent enough to only hold
The conditions of the ghetto itself to blame? Not
Who creates the conditions?
Who stops affirmative action and welfare?
Who loves the three strikes law?
Didn't see 'em at the Million Man March or
The 350,000 Man March, let your daddy tell it
There's a lot of lies out there
What side you on?
Armageddon is near
I am the fourth rider of the apocalypse
Recognize game
Last days
These are the last days
Last days
We're in the last days
Last days
These are the last days
Last days
But maybe I'm wrong
Maybe everything is okay
Maybe we're all just gonna get along
Maybe I'm trippin'
Maybe life is perfect
Yeah, right
Last days
Last days
These are the last days
Last days
We're in the last days
Last days
Last days
I hate you
You hate me
And what does that equal?
It equals nothing
And that's exactly what we're gonna have
Nothing, if we don't make a change soon
And who am I to tell you anything?
I ain't nobody but a brother from South Central
Who's had the opportunity to go around the world
And I found out that we're all not really that different
Racism is the number one enemy of Earth
There's only one race, the human race
And if we don't get it together soon, then this song is true
We are living in the last days
Last days
Last days
Last days
Last days
