Six Days
complicated/DJ Shadow ft. Mos Def Lyrics

I got a feeling there's gonna be a riot
I sense that there will be chaos and unrest.

I don't read the newspapers because they all have Ugly prints
I avoid reading news sources because the information presented is unappealing or distressing.

Check me out Check me out Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on 'cause there's gonna be some shit tonight!
Pay attention to me, I'm ready for whatever is going to happen tonight and I welcome it.

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, leaders meet for important talks and negotiations, but these efforts are faltering, leading to an increase in violent actions and hostility.

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late (Come come come come come with it) (Come come come come come with it)
We cannot rely on tomorrow to solve our problems - we must take action in the present to deal with the challenges we face.

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?)
Even when you're going about your daily life, you could be hit with intense news that feels like a blow. Despite thinking that things couldn't get any worse, a surprising event occurred.

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
Even if we make it through one day, there is no guarantee that the following day will bring anything other than more danger and fear.

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
There is an increase in violence with each additional shot, leading to destruction and fragmentation of society. No one knows for certain when it will stop or what the outcome might be.

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?)
The ongoing violence and destruction are causing people to feel uncertain, leading to panic and confusion. Even on special days like birthdays, there is no guarantee of safety.

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
People are desperately trying to plan for the future, even though they know that there are no guarantees in this uncertain, violent world. At this point, it may already be too late.

Another day! Tomorrow is another day Tomorrow is another day
While we cannot predict what each new day will bring, we must somehow find a way to carry on in the face of danger and uncertainty.

Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on cause there's goin' be shit tonight!
Once again, I am ready for whatever chaos and destruction the night may bring, as I have been all along.
