Last Days / Body Count (ice-t)[Intro/Chorus: Ernie C]Laaast dayyyys!The laaast dayyyyys!![Verse One: Ice-T]As I stare off the stage and try to understand why you feelThat I am someone you cannot deal with, how?When you and I come from two totally polar opposite lifestylesUnder normal circumstances;I'd be waking you and your rich parents up at gunpointDemanding the combination to the wall safeWhile your little sister screams suffering from pistol-whipped painOr looking back at you in a courtroom filled with absolutely none of my peersWhy are you here? Is this some voyeuristic bullshit?See black man sing? Or maybe, just maybeYou've been subjected to so many audio drive-bys and gang shootingsThat you yourself have become numb to the pain like meAnd you, check this out; have become insane from overdoses of realityWell stomach this; at the rate we're going right now white boyYeah you, you and I will die holding each other's throatsThat's real, the world's at war, we're at warCheck yourself, don't be me check your goddamn selfIt's going down, 1997, see the lightRed lasers rip through my neighborhood at night, time is shortHomicide is the number one sport[Chorus: Ernie C]Laaast dayyyys!Laaast dayyyyys!!Some last dayyyyys!![Verse Two: Ice-T]So now that all the reality's soaked and..You start to re-analyze 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 crimeWalking through an environment so filled with so much hateHonestly, I do not feel that you are able to comprehend the magnitude of the evilBut trip this; there were no white faces there, just black on black genocideThe only white men there were the cops that showed up late in the fourthTo outline the teenaged bodies in chalkSo who do I hate? - do I hate you? - do I hate myself?Or possibly am I intelligent enough to only hold the conditionsof the ghetto itself to blame? Not! who creates the conditions?Who stops affirmative action and welfare?Who loves the 3 strikes law?Didn't see them at the Million Man MarchOr the Three Hundred and Fifty-thousand Man March, let your daddy tell itThere's a lot of lies out there, what side you on?Armageddon is near, I am the fourth rider of the apocalypseRecognize game!![Chorus: Ernie C]Laaast dayyyys!Some last dayyyyys!!Laaast dayyyys!We're in the last dayyyyys!!Laaast dayyyys!These are the last dayyyyys!!Laaast dayyyys![Break: Ice-T]But maybe I'm all wrong, maybe everything is okayMaybe we're all just gonna get alongMaybe I'm tripping, maybe life is perfect, yeah right[Chorus: Ernie C until faded][Outro: Ice-T overlapping the above chorus]I hate you, you hate me, and what does that equal?It equals nothing, and that's exactly what we're gonna haveNothing, we don't make a change soon, and who am I to tell you anything?I ain't nobody but a brother from South CentralWhose had the opportunity to go around the worldAnd I found out that we're all not really that differentRacism is the number one enemy of earthThere's only one race, the human race, and if we don't get it together soonThen this song is true, we are all living in the last days!!
