30 Decembers Lyrics by LL COOL J

The FORCE

2024

[Verse 1: LL COOL J]
I came up off the street
Took some pissy steps up to the belly of the beast
Which way I go? Kinda confusin', the machines are not workin’
There ain't no tokens or nothin', this shit done changed all a sudden
It’s like I died and came back, different faces and ages
On their phones and computers, no one is readin' the papers
Don't know who's contagious, white lady look funny
This Black kid talkin' 'bout droppin' forty and twenty
Only thing on my mind, "You won't take nothin’ from me"
And the nurse sittin’ across from me, she really look lovely
And the lady sittin' nеxt to me was slow to move her stuff
Shе ain’t wanna let me sit down, afraid of how I get down
Ain't dealin' with that shit now, I'm goin’ on a ride
I wonder how these people feelin' really deep inside
I'm home, but damn, this shit don't feel like I remember
Matter fact, it been about thirty Decembers
And these kids don't even know who I am
You don't know you in the presence of a real made man
You standin' too close, ain't nothin' sweet, no sugar, no glucose
Move for the bread and you toast
Been so long
The whole world turned upside down while I was gone
I'm lookin' at the signs, I don't wanna read 'em wrong
You can cut it with a knife, the vibes are so strong
I stand up, step off, step on new platforms
Wow, this shit done really transformed
A new breed of killers, yellow-eyed gorillas
Backs against the wall, lookin' at me with a snarl
[Verse 2: LL COOL J]
We sizin' each other up, I would hit motherfuckers up
But I really want peace today, reborn like it's Easter day
They hungry, lookin' at me as if I took they feast away
I smell the emotions, deep down they are hopin'
To escape this invisible mental prison they're livin' in
Like a zombie walkin' dead, head down and givin' in
I see a crack of light, the monster's closin' in
This dude is starin' at me, what I feel, I hold it in
Saw a girl who had a rough life
Livin' in the moment, playin' music on her phone
We conversated briefly, I could tell she hold her own
Energy in her eyes, make people move aside
The dude behind the counter had a million-dollar smile
But somethin' told me he gon' make the world pay for it
When the vibes in the air, you just can't ignore it
So that's my cue to slide off with my crew
Home sweet home, to thy self be true
Mind in the sky, but keep a street-level view
Inspiration for the future dreams we will pursue
If I made it off the streets of Queens, you can too
It's been thirty Decembers, still rememberin' you
A lifelong hero's journey and I'm always en route
What has now become wine started off as mere fruit
It's been thirty Decembers out here, nurturin' roots
It's been thirty Decembers, thirty Decembers
Thirty Decembers, this world ain't like I remember
[Outro: LL COOL J, LL COOL J & Q-Tip]
Thirty Decembers, thirty Decembers
Thirty Decembers, this world ain't like I remember
Thirty Decembers, thirty Decembers
Thirty Decembers, this world ain't like I remember
Thirty Decembers, thirty Decembers
Thirty Decembers, this world ain't like I remember
Thirty Decembers, thirty Decembers
Thirty Decembers, this world ain't like I remember
Thirty Decembers, thirty Decembers
Thirty Decembers, this world ain't like I remember
