Dark Days
[Verse 1]
Am I wasting time?
Am I checking in, to trade this life?
Am I really headed for dark days?
The devil in your face don’t lie
All you do is prey on my pride
Maybe they just gas me up
I can’t read between the lines
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause the game’s like a jail it’s a lockdown
I get lost in the word, I’ve been locked out
But my brother and my sister got my back now
And my mother and my father pull me back out
[Chorus]
On and on and on
Man you know they knock me down knock me down
On and on and on
Get up and they knock me down knock me down
All this shade is a disguise, I can’t see right through their eyes
On and on and on
Get up and they knock me down
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
I got my mind inside this wire still
My mom she tells me if I slip
Just don’t go downhill
Like when I got the deal
My advance was fatter than rappers’
Stacks out when they mock a phone
Only thought about big dollars
Thick wallets, diamonds, got lots of clothes
Yeah I had the force
I would just floss, nobody telling me off
Mom and dad they got divorced
I didn’t want it to be like before
That’s what pride is, that’s how lions think
Now I’m lying sick, trying to just get through my daze
But everybody is a monster
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause the game’s like a jail it’s a lockdown
I get lost in the word, I’ve been locked out
But my brother and my sister got my back now
And my mother and my father pull me back out
[Chorus]
On and on and on
Man you know they knock me down knock me down
On and on and on
Get up and they knock me down knock me down
All this shade is a disguise, I can’t see right through their eyes
On and on and on
Get up and they knock me down
Oh, oh
[Bridge]
I'm lost in the shadows, falling from grace
And they left me in the dark out here
The strain is gone, though I ask myself
Am I really headed for dark days?
(No I won't be headed for dark days)
[Chorus]
On and on and on
Man you know they knock me down knock me down
On and on and on
Get up and they knock me down knock me down
All this shade is a disguise, I can’t see right through their eyes
On and on and on
Get up and they knock me down
Oh, oh
