Six Days
DJ Shadow/Mos Def Lyrics

I got a feeling there's gonna be a riot
I have a premonition that there will be a conflict or disturbance.

I don't read the newspapers because they all have Ugly prints
I don't read the news because it is unpleasant and unsettling.

Check me out Check me out
Look at me, pay attention to what I'm saying.

Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on 'cause there's gonna be some shit tonight!
Come to me with your best effort because there will be trouble tonight.

At the starting of the week At summit talks you'll hear them speak It's only Monday Negotiations breaking down See those leaders start to frown It's sword and gun day
At the beginning of the week, at a diplomatic meeting, negotiations break down and the conversation turns hostile.

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (Come come come come come with it) (Come come come come come with it)
Don't procrastinate because tomorrow may never come, act now.

You could be sitting taking lunch The news will hit you like a punch It's only Tuesday (What time is it?) You never thought we'd go to war After all the things we saw It's April Fool's Day (What time is it?)
You're enjoying a peaceful meal, but then you hear news of war breaking out. It's like a surprise attack because no one expected it.

Fire! Here goes a shot! Escalation, devastation Generation, separation Situation, dissipation Shot! Another shot another shot The tender vessel pressure pop The heart is cold the gun is hot(shot) I'm not sure if they done or not I'm not sure that they wanna stop The gun is cold the blood is hot(shot) (Shot shot shot shot shot shot shot) The hearts are weak the guns are not
Guns are firing, there's escalation, devastation, and separation, but no one is sure if the fighting will stop. People's emotions and hearts are weak, but the guns are still deadly.

You hear a whistling overhead Are you alive or are you dead? It's only Thursday (What time is it?) You feel the shaking of the ground A million candles burn around Is it your birthday? (What time is it?)
You hear the sound of missiles overhead and feel the ground shaking. You wonder if you are still alive or dead. Even though it's only Thursday, it feels like something significant is happening, maybe even your birthday.

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (get tomorrow on the phone) Trying to be smart, get tomorrow on the phone Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (I need to see tomorrow) You trying to reach tomorrow
Don't rely on tomorrow because it might be too late. Don't be arrogant and think you have all the time in the world. You can't get ahold of tomorrow because you can't control time.

Think tomorrow's come I think it's too late Another day!
You think tomorrow has arrived, but it has already passed. Every day is like another bomb waiting to go off.

Tomorrow is another day Today is another bomb Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on cause there's goin' be shit tonight!
You don't know what tomorrow will bring, but today is dangerous and unpredictable. So, bring on the action, because there will be trouble tonight.
