Tonedeff - Days Chasing Days feat. Chords

Chords – V1
Man, I see days chasing days. Everything stays the same/
No more night & day, everything is gray papier-mâché/
Same song on the radio by the same ole artist/
Same asshole on CNN giving the same “no comments”/
The same he-say-she-say shit/
Grab any given weekday and just put it on replay/
’Ring-Ring’ Rise and shine! Time to lye on the couch/
And watch TV till your eyes go blind/
Watch the guy in the Gucci suit talk about ‘trying times’/
And the guy that sold you the gun, turn around fighting crime/
Days chasing days, people make mistakes/
And don’t think solution – they look for somewhere to place the blame.

Tonedeff – V2
It’s Just Days Chasing Days – Everything stays the same/
Enemy’s names will change, but their deeds remain in place/
What are these arranged mistakes, but a link in the chains of fate/
With the singular basic aim to deplete us of age and strength/
You can flee or embrace this replay of the Deja scene in The Matrix/
But keeping beneath the blankets won’t stave off seeing the day shift/
So, instead of being evasive, I portray ‘brave’ and I face it/
As I watch in amazement, as these paid pricks do this lame shit/
And then trade shifts on the same staged hit, ‘bout fame & dollars/
Niggas ain’t biting no more, they’re just claiming they’re paying homage/
I’m saying, God must be the illest producer/
He fills us with youth, but trims us out before we can hear where the sample loops up.

Chorus
Sometimes it makes me wanna say (Oh Lord!)
Sometimes it makes me wanna shout (Oh Lord!)
Sometimes it makes me wanna scream (Oh Lord!)
I’m sick and tired of these days chasing days. (Oh Lord!)

Yo, Chords, man. I really hope these days’ll catch up again/
Till then, I’ll gnash up the back of my pen, cause it acts as my last defense/
Of my head against these sad and tragic events/
That happen when history’s repeating itself, eating itself for the lack of an end/
And I’m tackling trends – It’s all misleading/
Just gimme 2 pair of my Adidas and we’ll call it even/
See, I’m not a mad rapper, I’m just frustrated/
To see ya profiting with something you ripped off and barely bothered to update it!
So, fuck waiting another 10 years, till these twerps say/
That what I was doing a decade ago is the reason they rhyme in the first place/
Hah! So in a worst-case scenario, I work with a smirked face/
And pervert breaks and assertively rape your stereo.

Chords – V4
I see days chasing days. Everything stays the same/
I’ve seen Jesus become a patron saint of a paper chase/
I’ve seen wars justified by one verse of “Amazing Grace”/
Been face to face with the Devil in the most sacred places/
Seen Utopia for what it is – A Pipe dream/
Seen murderous mind schemes, turning the world to a crime scene/
Learn that, whether winter, spring, summer or fall/
Empires will plummet and fall to the ground and crumble apart/
So, is it me or these venetian blinds/
That keep my mind, lagging like a week behind/
Cause all this darkness is treating me like razor blades/
And there’s no light – All I see are days chasing days.
