(Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero)
(Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing under)
It was about six o'clock in the evening, the sun was setting
And darkness had just began to fill the sky
When I first touched down on the surface of Planet E
It was a heavily populated planet which had many cities
Mostly separated by blacks and whites, but we won’t say blacks and whites
We'll call one Group A, the other Group B
While walking through one of the cities I ran into a group of kids
They called themselves a posse
They were bad, you could tell
They all had the front of their hats turned to the side
They walked with a limp
I thought something was wrong
They looked mad at the world
But then again so did everyone in this city
I wonder why?
As I walked deeper and deeper into the city I saw many stores
Most of them said Liquors
Now mind you this was a very very very very very popular place
People gathered around constantly going in and out
Trading liquor for pay
Who got the pay? Hmm, well eventually Group A
Now standing on the corner I saw a brother called Raheem
Although I heard his mother call him Petey
Now Petey was holding a 40 ounce bottle in the palm of his left hand
Now Petey was drinking the same thing in the same place
Talking about the same old shit around the same time last year
Just letting the days go by
