The Day After Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]I'm
[Am]so happy[F] we made it
I knew one day we would
All [Am]these years of strugglin'
Were never understood
Now my [F]eyes are open
and I can clearly see
We didn't [Am]die for nothin'
cuz we're finally free

[Verse 2]
My Grand [Am]be gone [C]after a [Dm]103 years
of blood sweat and pain
And never com[F]plained
The [C]last words [F]that the nurse
[C#]heard was the [F]song she [Am]sang
Died tired of this [Dm]living thing
Most I knew never made it
to [Am]drinking age
[F]Sometimes I fight Gipp
Should I spend or should I hold
on for what tomorrow brings
Fly ain't that [Am]roll egg,
so many lips in my head
Seeing some act up from one
taste out the cup
[F]Can't build me up to cut
me down
Gipp is in your game,
but Gipp won't play your game

[Verse 3]
In the day after
[Am]I been this way since birth
Heaven upon sent a newborn
to tell it like he see it
No lies thru the [F]eyes of an angel
suggest you don't tango
Every angle be obtuse,
ain't no truce, it's war
It won't [Am]stop, to compromise wouldn't
stop the bloodsheddin'
It's Armageddon in the streets of
each inner [F]city
Ain't takin' no pity on
this unjust callin' it trust
I'm on the bus starin'
out of a window
[Am]Thankin' 'bout them happy days I had
Over the summer growin' up fast
to face life and harsh real[F]ities
That come wit the territory
didn't know when I was young
So many get hung to hang
Take away the [Am]bad and bring back
The good that die mostly over bullshit
Takin' a gun and pulled it on
an [F]innocent friend of mine
[Am]That could have been yours
How [C]can I [Am]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 judge[F]ment

[Verse 4]
I'm so happy we made it I [F]knew
one day we would
All these [Am]years of strugglin'
Were never understood
Now my [F]eyes are open
and I can clearly see
We didn't [Am]die for nothin'
cuz we're finally free

[Verse 5]
I'm so happy
[F]Meant I'd be spoiled rotten
A fin here a fin there but receipts please
[Am]For my feet I need a new pair of hi rollin'
But the car ain't stolen
Pistol still smokin' from herndon
[F]homin' in on somebody
Gotta pay for restitution
with heavily on my mind
Free from mental [Am]debris
hose me down
There my physical frame lay
returnin' to its rightful place
A quest for forgive[F]ness answer
The [Dm]death toll [Am]talley
but my soul was spared
How [Dm]is your prepared me
[Am]dium rare if you dare disobey
[Dm]Well done [Am]race you the last
one [Dm]to orion star
Smellin' [F]like shit in a glass jar
The bomb light years away from [Dm]earth secure
a space for [Am]my family
The mother of my first conceived
and all the weak relatives
I hurt [F]only when I laugh ha- ha
On display afta judge none
careless atmosphere
Op[Am]portunity knockin' answer
it knewin you would
Good thangs come to
those dat wait
[F]Took a loss on church strait
The nifty fifth whut better place
Fo' mo enenmy to hide
than behind religion
[Am]Done gee seen on I pray for you
but I won't follow you to yo end

[Verse 6]
I [F]know of a place not too far away
That maybe you and I
can both go someday
But I [Am]gotta make sure cause I
ain't tryin' to stay here
Don't y'all realize that the end is so near
But [F]don't have fear cause
you still got time
I hope you wanna come when
I'm done with the rhyme
Let [Am]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 [F]all about preparing
yourself for the return
And a trip to your soul is
the only way you'll learn
[Am]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 [F]lies and try to trick
yo soul to receive it
They tell you that my Lord ain't coming'
back and you believe it
[Am]Regardless if you listen to me
In the end we'll see

[Verse 7]
I'm so [F]happy we made it
I knew one day we would
All these [Am]years of strugglin'
Were never understood
Now my [F]eyes are open
and I can clearly see
We didn't [Am]die for nothin'
cuz we're finally free

[Outro 1]
I'm so happy
