[Verse 1: Declaime]
How in the world did this shit happen
Born into the madness and sadness, plane crashes
Slaves' lashes, two for being black and now you're stuck I don't cry
Too late, can't take that back
It's a done deal, you do what you feel wit' what you got
You feel you got a lot and ain't even got a pot to piss in
Wishin', for things to get better
If for rough times and stormy weathers
You can't tell time with your eyes closed, as long as they shut
You'll never see that madness grow, we keep our mouths shut
We do as we told
Not only what's showed to us, 'til you can't trust us
So take two to the head when I bust

[Chorus]
These are the days we live in, we give in, used to slavin'
Bound through a sin
So I stays right to the end (So I stays right to the end)

[Verse 2: Declaime]
Low-life, livin' life with no sight
Every night you would fight for what you thought was right
Your insight was to incite
A riot, amongst the races
Have all man face us on every block
Destruction at the same time, run down the clock
Every n***a with a Glock, too late for it to stop
Destined to lose because we choose the blue
We's the fools that tend to cruise, do life in the fast lanes
N***as tryna change things, breathe lies and lust
Take two to the head when I bust
[Chorus]
These are the days we live in, we give in, used to slavin'
About to do us in
So I stays right to the end (So I stays right to the end)
