The song is about being trapped in a repetitive cycle, whether that’s one of routine – or having too much freedom and never knowing your next move. Sometimes in those situations you find that even trying to take a step back and find resolution can be overwhelming, but ultimately the song is hopeful...
[Chorus: Benny Malis]
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
[Verse 1: Kasien]
These days, I’m runnin’ with fears, yeah, yeah
Bust and release, yeah, yeah
Don’t wanna extend, nah, yeah
I couldn’t believe, wow
Please get down on your knees
The world in my hand, I’m shootin’ the three
Swi-Swish and repeat
It’s P, control and delete
A deed to soul to keep
My team don’t know what it means, nah
I feel my soul with seeds
I need the pink and the green
Think, move and I breathe
Flinch well in a flame
Fuck what you think
We’re making the leap, bitch
[Chorus: Benny Malis]
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
[Bridge: Benny Malis]
Match, work and debt
Catch work and kick
Clash with my life, life
Stash oven stick
That’s what I like, I
Stand for all this
A hand full of this
Your mans full of this
[Verse 2: Benny Malis]
These days don’t ever have hope
These days, don’t hold no peace
These days just tick right back
And you could slick by these days, just sleep
These days, while I talk about these days like I can’t breathe
These days
These days don’t want no smoke
These days don’t want no beef
All I ever wanted was a fat stack, pull it out the back
Tellin’ me, i gotta grab dat
Tell me if you ever had a fat dad that could believe that you could catch that
If I have a passion, I’ma mash that, then I let it loose like a back layer
Than the moves of a man that moves like a motherfuckin’ mad man
So I made a pact to myself
Soon as I began to I felt
Think of this malice as wealth
And there’s a new chapter to the tale
I pick up my pen and I dwell
Pattern, I dwell
Pardon me, I’m not the candidate, I’m not the hammer that held
[Chorus: Benny Malis]
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
These days, I don’t have hope
These days, don’t know no peace
These days just tick right back
These days, I don’t know sleep
