Goodie Mob - The Day After Lyrics






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

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

    2pac? r u guys crazy, this is ATL flavor only.2pac would've only muddied the waters.

    t.... ....

    tracytrapmaker
    i would have to agree. Even though Pac is one of the greatest, he wouldn't be able to spit how Goodie Mob spit. Whatever it is that Goodie Mob has that makes them unique, separates them from every other artist/group. They are one of a kind. Pac's style and whatever makes him unique is too different from Goodie and Outkast. Even though they could be rapping about the same thing. it seriously wouldn't blend well.

    t.... ....

    Christopher Haupt i disagree. Talent meshes with talent.

    t.... ....

    I️ agree with Great Lakes!

    t.... ....

    They were on da set of hit em ☝ facts!

  39. J.... D....

    2pac would of fit perfect on this track..he would have to go last on this

    J.... D....

    DICK LONG goodie mob did what? I don’t get what you mean by “goodie mob did”

    J.... D....

    @Bobbin' Williams
    Goodie Mob made an album where they sacrificed everything they believed in artistically to drop an album (albeit from label pressure) to capitalize on the emerging Atlanta crunk scene. Goodie went gold but OutKast was moving millions so LaFace pressured them into doing an album that catered to the clubs. They have interviews on YouTube where they talk about it. You should look em up. I wouldn't shit on Goodie because I'm a huge fan. But World Party was disappointing.

    J.... D....

    DICK LONG yikes, sounds cringey

    J.... D....

    They were on the set of hit em ☝...history!

  40. B.... W....

    "So many get hung to hang" -truth 

  41. I.... ....

    lol @ the one and only dislike in more than 2 years

    thanks for this, brings back strong memories

  42. l.... j....

    build me up an cut me down, delivered expertly

  43. m.... a....

    You have to have the heart of a Soldier to feel this song..

  44. c.... ....

    My fav from the FAM !!! Much love God bless y'all

  45. l.... ....

    Goodie mob ALWAYS kept it thick...no track of theirs was ever a letdown...quality. timeless. original.

  46. W.... X....

    Only 11000 views... unacceptable...

  47. t.... j....

    that last verse.

  48. m.... a....

    I agree with you about their intent. But let me say this. The Most High uses many different tools to enlighten us when we are wandering in the darkness. Human have enslaved each other over many milleniums. Don't miss the forest looking at the trees. Yes we are chosen, but we aren't the only ones. Much love and respect to your post..

  49. G.... 7....

    Well since the world didn't end yesterday I guess this song is perfect or today 12/22!

  50. A.... ....

    Thanks Fellow

  51. t.... ....
