Mos Def feat. DJ Shadow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get a feeling there's gonna be a riot

I don't read the newspapers, because they all have, ugly prints.

Bring it on!
Bring it on!
Bring it on 'cause there's gon' be shit 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

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

(Come come come come come with it)
(Come come come come come with it)

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 Fools' day (What time is it?)

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

Tomorrow is another day
Today is another boom
Tomorrow is another day
Today is another, boom
Tomorrow is another day
Today is another boom
Tomorrow is another day
Today is another
(boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba)
(boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba)
(boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba)
(boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba)

Slow it down

Shot!
Escalation
Never Station
Generation
Separation
Situation
Dissipation
Shot!
Another shot another shot the tender is to (?)
The heart is cold the gun is hot (Shot)
Im not sure if they feeling that
Im not sure if they wanna stop
The gun is cold the blood is hot (Shot)
(Sha Sha Sha Sha Sha Sha Shot)
The hearts are weak the guns are not

You hear a whistling overhead
Are you alive or are you dead?
It's only Thursday (What time is it?)
You feel the shaking on the ground
A million candles burn around
Is it your birthday? (What time is it?)

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
(Get tomorr' on the phone, tryna be smart
Get tomorr' on the phone)
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
(I need to see tomorr' tryna reach tomor')
Think tomorrows come I think it's too late

Another day

boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba

(Tomorrow is another day)
(Tomorrow is another day)

Bring it on!




Bring it on!
Bring it on 'cause there's gon be shit tonight!

Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on 'cause there's gon' be shit tonight!
Let it happen! Let it happen! Let it happen because tonight is going to be crazy!


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
On the first day of the week, during high-level conversations, you'll hear them speak. It's only Monday. Tensions increase and agreements fall apart. You see leaders who start to worry. It's a day when weapons come out.


Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
The future will only seem present when it is too late.


(Come come come come come with it) (Come come come come come with it)
Get ready, get ready, get ready!


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 Fools' day (What time is it?)
You could be taking your lunch and not thinking about it. The news will come and surprise you, knocking you down. It's only Tuesday (What time is it?) The thought of going to war never crossed your mind. After seeing all that we have, it's foolish to think it's a joke (What time is it?)


Tomorrow is another day Today is another boom Tomorrow is another day Today is another, boom Tomorrow is another day Today is another boom Tomorrow is another day Today is another (boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba) (boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba) (boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba) (boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba)
Tomorrow and today are separate. Today is just another explosion. Tomorrow is just another day before another explosion. Today is just another explosion. Tomorrow is another day before another explosion. It goes on like that.


Slow it down Shot! Escalation Never Station Generation Separation Situation Dissipation Shot! Another shot another shot the tender is to (?) The heart is cold the gun is hot (Shot) Im not sure if they feeling that Im not sure if they wanna stop The gun is cold the blood is hot (Shot) (Sha Sha Sha Sha Sha Sha Shot) The hearts are weak the guns are not
Take it easy. Shot! The situation is escalating and never stationary, dividing people due to their age and eventually dissolving. Another shot is fired. The shooter is almost in a trance. The gun is cold, and the heart is hot (Shot). It's hard to tell if they're feeling the pain. It's unclear whether they want to stop. The gun is cold, but the blood is hot (Shot). The hearts are weak, but the guns are not.


You hear a whistling overhead Are you alive or are you dead? It's only Thursday (What time is it?) You feel the shaking on the ground A million candles burn around Is it your birthday? (What time is it?)
You hear a whistle coming from above. Are you still alive or have you died? It's only Thursday (What time is it?) You can feel the shaking ground, and there are countless candles lighting the way. Is it your birthday? (What time is it?)


Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (Get tomorr' on the phone, tryna be smart Get tomorr' on the phone) Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (I need to see tomorr' tryna reach tomor') Think tomorrows come I think it's too late
The future will only seem present when it is too late. (Call tomorrow, trying to be smart. Call tomorrow.) The future will only seem present when it is too late. (I need to see tomorrow, trying to reach tomorrow.) I think the future has arrived; it's too late.


Another day boom boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba boom ba ba ba ba ba (Tomorrow is another day) (Tomorrow is another day)
It's just another day full of ups and downs. (Tomorrow is another day) (Tomorrow is another day)


Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on 'cause there's gon be shit tonight!
Let it happen! Let it happen! Let it happen because tonight is going to be crazy!

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

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

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?)

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

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

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

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?)

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

Think tomorrow's come I think it's too late

Another day!
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow is another day

Bring it on! Bring it on!
Bring it on cause there's goin' be shit tonight!
