6 Days
Mos Def feat. DJ Shadow Lyrics

I got a feeling there's gonna be a riot
I have an intuition that there will be a violent disturbance.

I don't read the newspapers because they all have Ugly prints
I avoid reading the news because they portray unpleasant stories.

Check me out Check me out
Take notice of me, pay attention to what I am saying.

Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on 'cause there's gonna be some shit tonight!
Let the conflict happen because it is inevitable and unavoidable.

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, attendants of a high-level conference become tense and confrontational, indicating a shift from diplomacy to aggression.

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (Come come come come come with it) (Come come come come come with it)
Problems are usually not solved until they have caused significant damage. (Come, come with your aggression).

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?)
During an ordinary day, hearing a shocking news of war being declared is as shocking as being hit by a fist. They never expected war despite witnessing warning signs; this is confirmed on April Fools' Day. (Asking for the time represents shock and confusion.)

Tomorrow is another day Today is another bomb Tomorrow is another day Today is another bomb Tomorrow is another day Today is another bomb Tomorrow is another day Today is another, bomb
Tomorrow will bring new events, but today is unpredictable and potentially explosive.

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
A gunfight is depicted with its destructive and confusing aspects, featuring death and emotional detachment.

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?)
Amidst a conflict, one may hear warning signs of an attack, prompting feelings of fear and surrealism. The shock of the ground shaking and celebrating the birthday can coexist during wartime. (Asking for the time represents confusion and denial.)

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
Tomorrow is an unreliable promise, often coming too late to avoid tragedy. It is impossible to predict the future and trying to do so is foolish and ineffective.

Think tomorrow's come I think it's too late Another day!
The arrival of tomorrow is too late to avoid the consequences of today's actions.

Tomorrow is another day Tomorrow is another day Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on 'cause there's goin' be shit tonight!
More challenges will come tomorrow. Accepting an inevitable conflict tonight.
