The Last
Denzel Curry Lyrics

Any day can be our last day
Life is unpredictable and can end at any moment

So much trouble on the streets
There is a lot of chaos and danger in the world

That we need to buy a AK
We feel the need to arm ourselves for protection

Brung a mask for the whole day
To protect ourselves and others, we take precautions like wearing masks

We ain't trynna get sick
We don't want to get infected by diseases

So we walk around with no face
We wear masks to cover our faces

The USA is a cold place
The world can be harsh and unforgiving

Cold world, cold world
The world is unfeeling and uncaring

We don't even got a North Face
We don't have enough protection from the cold world

Drinking, I been drinking, I need AA
The artist is struggling with alcoholism

I been smoking chronic
The singer is smoking marijuana

On my Panasonic watching people dying
The artist is watching people die on TV or social media

Got me being honest with my savior
The singer is praying to God for guidance and salvation

Shit is hard to stomach, I can't even vomit
The singer is deeply affected by the troubles of the world and cannot ignore them

Pour up gin and tonic just to calm my conscience
The singer is trying to numb their feelings of guilt and anxiety with alcohol

Told him 'keep your distance' can't even say 'hello'
The artist is so afraid of getting sick or harmed that they distance themselves from others

It struck me harder than a bow and arrow
The artist was emotionally affected by a shocking event

Time is getting worse for people in the ghetto
People in poverty and marginalized communities are experiencing more problems

Too many homeless
There are too many people living on the streets with no shelter

People laying down, too many roses
Too many people are dying and being buried

Losing loved ones that be the closest
The artist is experiencing the pain of losing loved ones

People run up with guns fully loaded
People are carrying weapons and ready for violence

They might blow it
Violence can escalate and lead to disastrous consequences

Looking for answers, that's what I been seeking
The artist is searching for solutions to the problems of the world

The ones with influence don't ever be teaching
The powerful individuals in society do not teach or help those in need

Industry colorist, they need to cut this shit
The music industry needs to stop discriminating based on skin color

Can't fuck with government, what can I say?
The government is not to be trusted and cannot be relied on

Caught me some other shit
The artist has encountered other problems or vices

Can't fall in love with it
The artist cannot become too attached or invested in these problems

I say a prayer to not be the prey
The singer prays for protection from harm

Hoes with the drama, OD
People create unnecessary drama and chaos

Then they turn around and throw they drama on me
The artist is often blamed or caught up in other people's drama

These are the only reasons why I stay lowkey
The artist avoids attention and stays out of trouble to avoid drama

And I knew this world was shitty when we lost Kobe
The artist was saddened by the death of Kobe Bryant and realized the fragility of life

Young man, black man, I'm a negro
The singer identifies as a young black man

World had to heal, now the world need growth
After experiencing pain and suffering, the world now needs to progress and improve

Cops killing blacks when the whites do the most
Police officers disproportionately harm people of color

And your so-called revolution ain't nothing
The singer is critical of ineffective and superficial attempts at change

But a post period
Revolutionary movements are often reduced to social media posts with little real-world impact
