Dark Days - Jared Evan

Am I wasting time?

Am I checking in, to trade this life?

Am I really headed for dark days?

The devil in your face don’t lie

All you do is prey on my pride

Maybe they just gas me up

I can’t read between the lines

Cause the game’s like a jail it’s a lockdown

I get lost in the word, I’ve been locked out

But my brother and my sister got my back now

And my mother and my father pull me back out

On and on and on

Man you know they knock me down knock me down

On and on and on

Get up and they knock me down knock me down

All this shade is a disguise, I can’t see right through their eyes

On and on and on

Get up and they knock me down

Oh, oh

I got my mind inside this wire still

My mom she tells me if I slip

Just don’t go downhill

Like when I got the deal

My advance was fatter than rappers'

Stacks out when they mock a phone

Only thought about big dollars

Thick wallets, diamonds, got lots of clothes

Yeah I had the force

I would just floss, nobody telling me off

Mom and dad they got divorced

I didn’t want it to be like before

That’s what pride is, that’s how lions think

Now I’m lying sick, trying to just get through my daze

But everybody is a monster

Cause the game’s like a jail it’s a lockdown

I get lost in the word, I’ve been locked out

But my brother and my sister got my back now

And my mother and my father pull me back out

On and on and on

Man you know they knock me down knock me down

On and on and on

Get up and they knock me down knock me down

All this shade is a disguise, I can’t see right through their eyes

On and on and on

Get up and they knock me down

Oh, oh

I’m lost in the shadows, falling from grace

And they left me in the dark out here

The strain is gone, though I ask myself

Am I really headed for dark days?

(No I won’t be headed for dark days)

On and on and on

Man you know they knock me down knock me down

On and on and on

Get up and they knock me down knock me down

All this shade is a disguise, I can’t see right through their eyes

On and on and on

Get up and they knock me down

Oh, oh
