Day After Tomorrow

(album: Godspeed - 2015)

Just in case tomorrow never comes
Just in case tomorrow never comes
Just in case tomorrow never comes

Ok tomorrows never certain
Them niggas that you thought was ur dawgs became serpents
I already got two kids expecting a third one
And he'll be on this earth before I get rights to see my first one
Look like I'm gon' need a forklift to carry these burdens
My family's all I got and for this cake I won't desert them
I traded privacy for success but was it worth it?
I guess you'll get the answer next time we meet in person
True fears I was working a [?] before the deal came
Fortunate to never see no judge beside mill lane
Do feel all my brothers in the slammer cos their deal came
The dope money slowing up now but the bills ain't
A penny for your thoughts go find a piggy bank
And most these niggas claim they OGs but don't hold any rank
And I, I don't know whats in my future but I know prison ain't
If being broke is funny its a good thing I'm not into pranks

Just in case tomorrow never comes
Just in case tomorrow never comes
Just in case tomorrow never comes

Tomorrow may never come
Then we knee deep in this shit too late to plunge
On the bright side got this yellow bitch that's a blonde
And it ain't hard to [?] why I call this lil bitch a sponge
We too busy out having fun to be stacking funds
Till they cap my ass with these guns and hold back my bonds
Yeah, you know the saying live fast and die young
I move to the beat of my own 100 round drum
Our presidents black we think we won maybe I'm not [?]
Last time I checked this still the slums
His child ain't got no pampers but he got them new lebrons
And later on he'll make the news and you gon blame it on the song
Meanwhile I stand back against the wall head to the sun
If I don't stand like a man then how can I expect it from my son
If I'm swimming with sharks I don't expect to see a swan
I'm number one, two's no winner and third place receives bronze

Just in case tomorrow never comes
Just in case tomorrow never comes
For a nigga like me
Tomorrow ain't no guarantee
Say its no guarantee for a nigga like me
And no it ain't no guarantees
Say its no guarantee for a nigga like me
Like me.. for a nigga like me
Tomorrow ain't no guarantee, say

Gotta practice what u preach
Life's just a test you dont get a cheat sheet
Raised in a gang with no four-gang suite
Just a narcotic raid at the end of the week
And the end of our careers come sooner than we think
25 years til the MVP
Spent my whole life ducking from the NPD
Screaming fuck the blue [?]
By throwing up the Es
At the end of the block around the corner with the Gs
So I can move work and my momma can't see
I know some niggas that been slammed up since I was in my teens
And I'd be a grandfather 'fore they ever set free
It don't affect me I got a pistol and a beam
I don't plan to kill this giant off with just another sling
Living in the movies like its just another scene
And we married to the game but we never get a ring
And the bills get paid on time unless the dope run low
Then they fall back behind
Ain't really no sense of my tryna hide shit
Momma ain't dumb she know what be going down
She just look the other way take a breath and dry her eyes
I asked her whats wrong she says everything's fine
Truth is I shoulda picked school over crime
But it hurts when the bills due and I don't got a dime
So I went and got some work instead of working 9 to 5
If all else fails at least I can say I tried
No I can't blame it all on pride
And if I told you I was forced to do it I'd be lying
I made enough to quit in 09
But we all know that trappers don't retire
We just keep it moving till we run it in the ground
Or we run out of time or wind up with time
Shesh!

Tomorrow ain't no guarantees
Say its no guarantees for a nigga like me
Tomorrow ain't no guarantees
Say its no guarantees for a nigga like me
So just in case tomorrow don't come
I know its no guarantee for a nigga like me..
