Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's J Written
What can I say, what can I do
These are the last days; these are the last days to get through
These are the last days, can't write these at the last place
Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away from these strange ghetto place
These are the last days these are the last praise can't get away, can't get away
Can't get away
From this strange ghetto place
Sometime I think there is no end to this world, I'm into this world for good
I'm thinking out loud I should admit that I'm going crazy but if you think about it
Maybe I'm the only sane person in this world or maybe I'm a genius
This matters on this earth but I don't know calculus and I don't know how to love
And I don't know how to hate but I do know how to touch
It's a mind thing am fighting
These are the last days, can't write these at the last place
Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away from these strange ghetto place
These are the last days these are the last praise can't get away, can't get away
Can't get away
From this strange ghetto place
What can I do when I'm faced with adversity when I'm faced with my reflection
What can I say when all my pain is never in the shade
Never can I say never can I lay down and just wait
These are the last days (yeah) and my patience is in vain
What am I waiting for my failing heart is almost out of time
What am I waiting for my failing heart is almost out of time
Never can I say (yeah), never can I say (yeah), never can I say (yeah)
These are the last days, can't write these at the last place
Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away from these strange ghetto place
These are the last days these are the last praise can't get away, can't get away
Can't get away
From this strange ghetto place
