One night at church, during testimony service
An old mother stood up and said
Children, I got something to say
As I look around and see how things are now
And how things used to be
That lets me know, we're living in the last days
Used to be a time, y'all, we could leave our homes and didn't have to lock our doors
Nowadays, we have to lock ourselves in and lock ourselves out
Bars on the windows and bars on the doors
I tell you, we're living in the last days
Oh, we're living in the last days
Used to be a time, y'all
Children were obedient to their parents
And everybody grown in the neighborhood
Was your children's parents
Now you speak to your child and you get nothing but disrespect
I tell you, we're living in the last days
We're living in the last days
You know there's fathers against sons
Mothers against daughters
Wars and rumors and wars
Drugs are taking over our streets
My advice to you today is
Get off of drugs and get on God
Yes, yes
I tell you, we're living in the last days
We're living in the last days
Oh, oh
We're living in the last days
Oh
