These Days
SILAS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These days all I got is money on my mind
Late night walkin' down the street, it's never fine
When we hit the stu' they say "Your boy one of a kind"
Maskin' my emotions, baby girl say what you find

Yeah, boss up, boss up, boss up, boss up, like I'm 2 Chainz
Kung-fu, kung-fu breakin' records on my Wu-Tang
She just danced that Magic City, sippin' D'USSÉ
Industry like Russian roulette on a Tuesday (wow)
Remember when we used to dream about crowds?
Now on my free time I'm movin' through clouds
Feedin' my fam and I'm holdin' it down
What is you losers gon' talk about now?
Say that I'm winnin'
Been prayin' since kiddie and times that I really just wouldn't go finish
I think of my actions and wonder 'bout passion
I'm livin' the realest, I think that I'll ghost
I'm movin' coasts, you do the most
On the 'Gram, and yeah we float
Like I suppose, you boys a joke
Don't get too close, we keepin' notes
Have mercy, on my soul, on my soul like
Hey, how does it feel when you walk in a place?
Bitch, it feel great (great)
How does it feel when you pushin' the wax?
Never be late (late)
They waited for checks, waited for Nikes
Waited for Lex, waited for Silas, waited for Post
They waited for this, I'm bringin' the hits to fuck up my dick

These days all I got is money on my mind
Late night walkin' down the street, it's never fine
When we hit the stu' they say "Your boy one of a kind"
Maskin' my emotions, baby girl say what you find
What you find?

Got a lot up on my mind
These days they don't fuck with you unless you press rewind
Switchin' up the 808, we bouncin' all the time
Racks inside my backpack, that's your girlfriend on my line
These days all I wanna do is press the line
These nights workin', and you know we 'bout to fly
Lately I been thinkin' 'bout you when you on my mind
Shawty come and fuck with me, and I'ma make you mine (ay)

These days all I got is money on my mind
Late night walkin' down the street, it's never fine
When we hit the stu' they say "Your boy one of a kind"
Maskin' my emotions, baby girl say what you find
These days all I got is money on my mind
Late night walkin' down the street, it's never fine
When we hit the stu' they say "Your boy one of a kind"
Maskin' my emotions, baby girl say what you find
What you find?

Tell me what you know about dreams
Tell me what you know about nightmares, nothing
Know this life ain't always what it seems
No this life ain't always what it, what it (ay)

One time, two time, three time
Got a lot of money, but I got no me time

Balance, balance, what's my balance?
25 million, need a new challenge
Up late night, met The Roots on Fallon
Everybody wonder why the boy stay wildin'
Never give a damn, no I never give a damn
I'm the man with the plan, yeah,you know who I am
Walk up in it and everybody know who I am
Now they wanna show love, now they wanna be fam
But I told you in the beginning I never give a damn
Money so tall I'ma need a rubber band
Too much to count, too much to count, too much to count
Tell God I'ma need another hand
Too much pussy in the world, goddamn
Baby girl know I love you, but you need another man
Mind on my money and my money on my mind
Feelin' fine, one of a kind, been ill with the rhymes
Silas from the 'Burg, from the home of the Terrapins (woo)
Boy blowin' up like a terrorist (goddamn)
That don't mean that he gotta speak Arabic
World so PC, I'ma need a therapist
Mama! Ay look at me one more 'gain
On top of my game, yeah, that's word to my kin
On top of the game, yeah, that's word to my kin
If I had a opportunity I'd do it all again
Coming for the head, buckshot, I win
I don't play games, I star in 'em
That's word to Naughty Dogs
That's word to Last of Us
Bobby Boy slow it down, rappin' too fast for us, I'ma keep goin'
I'm knowin, I'm passin' the torch to the boy, now go in

These days all I got is money on my mind
Late night walkin' down the street, it's never fine
When we hit the stu' they say "Your boy one of a kind"




Maskin' my emotions, baby girl say what you find
What you find?

Overall Meaning

The song "These Days" by Silas represents his growth into fame and how it affects his life. The lyrics depict the relatable theme of the pressure to succeed and hustle every day. In the beginning, Silas says he is always thinking about money and how he can achieve more success, as he walks down the street alone at night. He feels like he must mask his emotions to keep going in the rough industry because it's never fine. In the studio, Silas is recognized for his talent, but he always must push harder to flourish. The lyrics by Wu-Tang and 2 Chainz show his musical influences, the ones that keep him going through his long nights.


As the song progresses, Silas discusses his achievements and how much he has accomplished. He has the "racks" and the "hits" to become the top of the music industry. He reflects on his past and how he used to dream about crowds, and now he's moving through the clouds. To Silas, his family is the most important thing in the world, and he must hold them down. However, throughout his success, he feels like he's losing himself as he's continually moving state to state. Silas feels like he is moving coast to coast and is living the realest. But he's also scared that he's ghosting himself and will lose himself in his success.


In the end, the song's lyrics depict Silas's ambition and desire to be on top of his game. While he reflects on the downside of his life's coin, he remains positive and proud of what he's accomplished. "These Days" represent the hustle, success, and loss within himself, with an acknowledgment of the world's challenges. It is a powerful reminder for listeners to push harder and not give up on their dreams against all odds.
