The Days

These are the days (oh, RedOne)
These are the days
In the time of our lives, in the time of our youth
We bow down to beauty and truth
We found opportunity when it wasn't there
And made up a rhapsody of our despair
These are the days
Uh, good mornin' America, God bless America
Everything is fine, don't cry, Miss America
Based on a true story, I don't need an editor
Live like a soldier, die like a veteran
I pledge allegiance to what I believe in
Live to fight another day if yesterday beat me
'Cause these are the days, anything can happen
On 9-11, I was in Manhattan
But these are the days, and time steady passin'
And life steady flashin' in front of my glasses
And I ain't gettin' younger, but I'm gettin' better
Got no time to waste, that's another man's treasure
They say every dawg has his day, you gotta pet him
And today is now or never
These are the days (Tunechi)
Oh, these are the days
These are the days, the days
The days that tell you what life is for
The days of wonder
Lookin' up at the stars as we're flat on the floor
These are the days
The Fat Boys break up and Mike didn't wake up
If my days are numbered, treat every day like day one
Life in the fast lane, eyes on the road
Take the highs with the lows, smell the concrete rose
From a town where leaves fall and never hit the ground
Got a ocean of belief where the skepticism drowns
Take the good and the bad, everything I never had
Now I'm starin' at the mirror lookin' at my better half
And it's a full day when you think, cry, laugh
And if you think I'm lyin', hook me to the polygraph
And these are the days, I'm just hopin' that they payday
Only to come up a dollar short and a day late
And one day, these days will be my heydays
So I'ma have a great day
These are the days
These are the days (and I still remember the days)
These are the days (when I was behind them bars, just countin' the days)
The days
The days that tell you what life is for
I also remember them days
When I was layin' on that hospital bed thinkin' how many days I had left (the days of wonder)
The revolution is just out of the door (every day is my day)
These are the days (every day is my day)
We know, we knew, we knew, we are, we were (every day is my day)
These are the days (every day is my day)
Oh, these the days
These are the days (every day is my day)
In the time of our lives, in the time of our youth
We bow down to beauty and truth
These are the days, the days
The days that tell you what life is for
The days of wonder
Lookin' up at the stars as we're flat on the floor
These are the days, the days
The days that tell you what life is for
The days of wonder
The revolution is just out of the door
These are the days
