Lyrics

[00:10.15] I'm so happy we made it
[00:13.15] I knew one day we would
[00:15.71] All these years of strugglin'
[00:18.47] Were never understood
[00:20.90] Now my eyes are open and I can clearly see
[00:26.27] We didn't die for nothin' cuz we're finally free
[00:31.71] My Grand be gone after a 103 years of blood sweat and pain
[00:35.02] And never complained
[00:36.40] The last words that the nurse heard was the song she sang
[00:39.40] Died tired of this living thing
[00:41.09] Most I knew never made it to drinking age
[00:43.34] Sometimes I fight Gipp
[00:44.28] Should I spend or should I hold on for what tomorrow brings
[00:47.40] Fly ain't that roll egg, so many lips in my head
[00:50.21] Seeing some act up from one tste out the cup
[00:53.71] Can't build me up to cut me down
[00:55.52] Gipp is in your game, but Gipp won't play your game
[00:58.46] In the day after...
[00:59.59] I been this way since birth
[01:00.96] Heaven upon sent a newborn to tell it like he see it
[01:03.71] No lies thru the eyes of an angel suggest you don't table
[01:06.84] Every angle be obtuse, ain't no truce, it's war
[01:09.90] It won't stop, to compromise wouldn't stop the bloodsheddin'
[01:11.90] It's Armageddon in the streets of each inner city
[01:16.03] Ain't takin' no pity on this unjust callin' it trust
[01:18.46] I'm on the bus starin' out of a window
[01:20.71] Thankin' 'bout them happy days I had
[01:22.53] over the summer growin' up fast to face life and harsh realities
[01:26.53] That come wit the territody didn't know when I was young
[01:29.40] So many get hung to hang
[01:30.65] Take away the bad and bring back
[01:32.59] The good that die mostly over bullshit
[01:35.09] Takin' a gun and pulled it on an innocent friend of mine
[01:38.28] That could have been yours
[01:39.34] how can I stop the war and all the crime inside the minds that's
[01:43.09] Programmed to destroy
[01:43.77] From the beginning when will it end...
[01:46.40] On the day after judgement
[01:47.59] I'm so happy we made it
[01:50.28] I knew one day we would
[01:52.28] All these years of strugglin'
[01:54.90] Were never understood
[01:57.27] Now my eyes are open and I can clearly see
[02:02.84] We didn't die for nothin' cuz we're finally free
[02:07.96] I'm so happy
[02:09.40] Meant I'd be spoiled rotten
[02:10.65] A fin here a fin there but receipts please
[02:13.40] For my feet I need... a new pair of hi rollin'
[02:16.71] But the car ain't stolen
[02:18.03] Pistol still smokin' from herndon homin' in on somebody
[02:20.59] Gotta pay for restitution with heavily on my mind
[02:23.90] Free fom mental debris hose me down
[02:26.34] There my physical trame lay returnin' to its rightful place
[02:29.65] A quest for forgiveness answer...
[02:31.90] The death toll talley but my soul was spared
[02:34.09] How is your prepared medium rare if you dare disobey
[02:37.09] Well done race you the last one to orion star
[02:40.15] Smellin' like shit in a glass jar
[02:43.40] The bomb light years away from earth secure a space for my family
[02:47.46] The mother of my first conceived and all the weak relatives
[02:50.21] I hurt only...when I laugh
[02:52.65] On display afta judge none careless atmosphere
[02:56.96] Opportunity knockin' answer it knewin you would
[03:00.09] Good thangs come to those dat wait...
[03:02.15] Took a los on church strait
[03:03.71] The nifty fifth whut better place
[03:05.65] Fo' mo enenmy to hide than behind religion
[03:08.15] Done gee seen on I pray for you but I won't follow you to yo end
[03:13.09] I know of a place not too far away
[03:16.15] That maybe you and I can both go someday
[03:18.40] But I gotta make sure cause I ain't tryin' to stay here
[03:21.28] Don't y'all realize that the end is so near
[03:23.84] But don't have fear cause you still got time
[03:26.47] I hope you wanna come when I'm done with the rhyme
[03:29.15] Let me explain so you won't claim you didn't know
[03:31.59] And you can make sure that this is where you wanna go
[03:34.53] It's all about preparing yourself for the return
[03:36.90] And a trip to your soul is the only way you'll learn
[03:39.90] But if you choose not to go that ain't my concern
[03:42.52] I guess in hell you'll just have to burn
[03:44.71] The devil tell lies and try to trick yo soul to receive it
[03:47.84] They tell you that my Lord ain't coming' back and you believe it
[03:51.34] Regardless if you listen to me
[03:53.59] In the end we'll see...
[03:55.46] I'm so happy we made it
[03:58.28] I knew one day we would
[04:00.71] All these years of strugglin'
[04:03.59] Were never understood
[04:06.03] Now my eyes are open and I can clearly see
[04:11.53] We didn't die for nothin' cuz we're finally free
[04:16.72] I'm so happy
