Intro:
 (sirens) Yo yes yes yo. Lock your door. Die die die (x6)

 Wyclef:
 I remember comin' from Hati growin' up in Brooklyn
 On Flat Bush got my first sneakers tooken
 Learn the game quick so I got my first device
 Mom move to Jersey so we could get a better life
 But little did she know a ghetto is a ghetto
 Good time found myself like Jimmy Walker sayin' "Cello"

 Lauryn:
 Yellow cheese bus gettin' beatings if I cuss
 Lay away another day in stripped Lees and letegrays
 But the lyrical bomber momma tried to stop
 Paranoid cause this boy around my neighborhood got shot
 Name plate hair straight metal braces on my teeth
 Fat laces on my feet when crack first hits the streets

 Wyclef:
 I use to push up on a girl Salt 'N' Peppa Push It Push It
 D's in school cause the music was my focus
 Jokes in class but when I learned I didn't pass
 I knew it was my ass with my mothers leather lash
 Belt buckle said Nelly Nel similar to Melle Mel
 Hits the third rail Beat Street made Gazzels sells

 Lauryn:
 As the tale gets poetic watch the streets turn magnetic
 Towanna Balley's rape is alleged
 Hang out in hooky places watch streets corners turn to oasis
 Young men aspire to be Scarfaces

 Hook:
 In the year of the dragon lots of men disappear
 Quiet as it's kept they won't be around next year

 Wyclef talking:
 Yo yo watch out for the black van. Yo yo (last days last days) planes
 exploding yo close your door yo nobody's safe. Halloween. October 31. Yo
 close your
 door yo kids are disappearing. Yo

 Wyclef:
 Late at night the light was bright on the ave
 I went to pick up cash from my cousin little Kev
 He told me Joe had a dream in jail he got steamed
 His wife became a fiend fuckin' little Raheim
 Damn, drugs will make you do terrible things
 He told me when he get out he's murdering by any means
 The day came I saw him on the train
 He pulled his gun and aimed and started firing like the son of Kane
 I saw civilians runnin' for their life
 Like the devil on judgement night running from Christ
 Ice and Armarretto please as I fell to my knees
 Being shot by Fergusin the vigilante

 Hook

 Wyclef talking:
 So CNN nawhatI'msayin? Fergusin is at court and he's his own lawyer
 youknowmean what's goin' on. Talk to me. This is definatly the last days.
 Jewish calendar has already arrived the year 2000. Watch ya back watch ya
 back watch ya back DIE DIE DIE DIE

 Lauryn:
 Clef it kind of remind me of this chick I once knew
 Use to be a dime now she's strung out in Bellevue
 See the serpent played tricks run game like the Knicks
 Build you up just to lose the championship.
 I seen her reminisce over Wu-Tang could It Be that Simple
 She lost her Prince cause there were Thieves In the Temple
 Tragic depression made her lose all her teeth
 Lost and turned out gave her body to the streets
 Sweet Mary don't you weep
 Still water runs deep
 So be carful of the company you keep

 Hook

 Wyclef talking:
 Yo I'm frustrated youknowhatI'mean? Use to work at McDonalds just got
 fired.
 If I get in I'm sprayin' everybody the boss the manager yo these are
 definatly the last days. Yo here he comes with his gun yo duck duck. Black
 Panther yo nobody's protected. Yo 6-6-6 watch your back don't get caught in
 the rapture yo AIDS, Moses the plaque watch your back. Pharoh let my people
 go.
 Yo watch your back. Last days. Last days. Nobody's protected. Yo my little
 sister is Rosey Sharen. Yo yo nobody's protected. Not even Rosey Sharen.
 Nobody's protected. Yo you come try to get my sister I'm a get you first.
