Goodie Mob - The Day After lyrics

Your rating:
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

 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 tste 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 thru 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 territody 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 judgement 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 trame 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 whut better place
 Fo' mo enenmy 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 cause I ain't tryin' to stay here
 Don't y'all realize that the end is so near
 But don't have fear cause 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
