The Grouch * Track #5 On Don’t Talk to Me
The Afterlife Lyrics
Where will I go when I die?
Will I be underground like I am now
But in the sky?
(x4)
They say the trife life is tempting
But it never outweighed My hopes and dreams
Sunbeams shined in mine like I was chillin by a stream
With a gleam in my eye
My piece of pie is attainable
An I'll arrange some cool shit
Say my prayers, and take aim and pull the detonator
Later we will see who remains
And even if its only me, I still won't refrain from how I live
Now I give back to my peers
Bless your ears
Tears of joy for all y'all, from the writin on the wall
That I read that righteous men grow like seeds
Through times of need
Don't let the grievin' lives become you
We runnin through our lives, see the highs and lows
And I suppose that some guys are pros
But everybody goes
Where will I go when I die?
Will I be underground like I am now
But in the sky?
(repeat)
Some got a million men feelin them
But still be in a state of emergency
The urgency is critical
Habitual ass liars, tire to keep us in these dire times
It's no wonder how negativity inspires rhymes
Signs like crimes, and hate
Got people up on their last page of their Bibles
Some scream "Revival"
Others "Survival of the Fittest"
But shit it's like the same
It all comes down to claims
And no more fun and games, what a shame, whose to blame?
Is it him or her, the group over there with that skin tone?
Everybody has a theory, most say it begins at home
But if it does, I would hate to see your family
Cause that would mean, from the very start
I was damned to be Underground now
And also for eternity, never, no yearnin me
My Afterlife is concernin me
Where will I go when I die?
Will I be underground like I am now
But in the sky?
(repeat)
So many have come before and died, and now lie unrestored in the area between the boards
Carried to see their Lords in the sky
Send them high within the reaches of no humans
Spirits be resumin their lives after loomin on the Earth
Deep Earth
We are cursed to never know
Where is it gonna take me?
Above?
Or Below?
Beyond... the boundaries
Of countries, counties, planets
You take your life for granted
You livin an empty planet
Understand it
Do you?
I don't. I won't lie
But I always keep an open eye cause I don't wanna die
Where will I go when I die?
Will I be underground like I am now
But in the sky?
(x4)
