The Day After

I'm so happy we made it

I knew one day we would

All these years of strugglin'

Were never understood

Now my eyes are open

And I can clearly see

We didn't die for nothin'

'Cuz we're finally free

My Grand be gone after a 103 years of blood sweat and pain

And never complained

The last words that the nurse heard was the song she sang

Died tired of this living thing

Most I knew never made it to drinking age

Sometimes I fight Gipp

Should I spend or should I hold on for what tomorrow brings

Fly ain't that roll egg, so many lips in my head

Seeing some act up from one taste out the cup

Can't build me up to cut me down

Gipp is in your game

But Gipp won't play your game

In the day after

I been this way since birth

Heaven upon sent a newborn to tell it like he see it

No lies though the eyes of an angel suggest you don't table

Every angle be obtuse, ain't no truce, it's war

It won't stop, to compromise wouldn't stop the bloodsheddin'

It's Armageddon in the streets of each inner city

Ain't takin' no pity on this unjust callin' it trust

I'm on the bus starin' out of a window

Thankin' 'bout them happy days I had

Over the summer growin' up fast to face life and harsh realities

That come wit the territory didn't know when I was young

So many get hung to hang

Take away the bad and bring back

The good that die mostly over bullshit

Takin' a gun and pulled it on an innocent friend of mine

That could have been yours

How can I stop the war and all the crime inside the minds that's

Programmed to destroy

From the beginning when will it end

On the day after judgment will I be ready

I'm so happy we made it

I knew one day we would

All these years of strugglin'

Were never understood

Now my eyes are open

And I can clearly see

We didn't die for nothin'

'Cuz we're finally free

I'm so happy

Meant I'd be spoiled rotten

A fin here a fin there but receipts please

For my feet I need, a new pair of hi rollin'

But the car ain't stolen

Pistol still smokin' from herndon homin' in on somebody

Gotta pay for restitution with heavily on my mind

Free fom mental debris hose me down

There my physical tame lay returnin' to its rightful place

A quest for forgiveness answer

The death toll Talley but my soul was spared

How is your prepared medium rare if you dare disobey

Well done race you the last one to orion star

Smellin' like shit in a glass jar

The bomb light years away from earth secure a space for my family

The mother of my first conceived and all the weak relatives

I hurt only

When I laugh

On display afta judge none careless atmosphere

Opportunity knockin' answer it knewin' you would

Good thangs come to those dat wait

Took a Los on church strait

The nifty fifth what better place

Fo' mo enemy to hide than behind religion

Done gee seen on I pray for you but I won't follow you to yo end

I know of a place not too far away

That maybe you and I can both go someday

But I gotta make sure 'cuz I ain't tryin' to stay here

Don't y'all realize that the end is so near

But don't have fear 'cuz you still got time

I hope you wanna come when I'm done with the rhyme

Let me explain so you won't claim you didn't know

And you can make sure that this is where you wanna go

It's all about preparing yourself for the return

And a trip to your soul is the only way you'll learn

But if you choose not to go that ain't my concern

I guess in hell you'll just have to burn

The devil tell lies and try to trick yo soul to receive it

They tell you that my Lord ain't coming' back and you believe it

Regardless if you listen to me

In the end we'll see

I'm so happy we made it

I knew one day we would

All these years of strugglin'

Were never understood

Now my eyes are open

And I can clearly see

We didn't die for nothin'

'Cuz we're finally free

I'm so happy
