AFTER DARK Lyrics by Jai Winter

THE SNOWFALL

2023

[Verse 1:]
As the hours pass
I think about the life I could’ve had
If I was out here taking everything
Like things I never had
A ghetto boy
He unemployed
The city leading him to death
At least I’m not out in the streets
Repeating history again
If I could turn back all the clocks
I’d give myself a second chance
Cause time is moving way too fast
The sun is setting once again
The clouds are full, the skies are grey
The bullets fill the parks we play in
Blood and watеr on the court
My little tears all hit thе pavement
Been too scared to go outside cause I lost all my friends I played with
Guns get drawn out in the courtyard
Body sketches on the pavement
What’s the point of all the violence
I guess we just pick and choose
All this flashing with no action
What y’all really tryna prove
I wasted life not living right
Until I found my place again
I felt the hand upon my shoulder
Father take me back again
I felt this life was never mine
I tried to give it back instead
He turned me right back to his people
This right here’s my second chance

[Verse 2:]
Now I gotta job
I live in a house
It’s hard to forgive but I’m hearing ‘em out
Got rid of my bed
I sleep on the couch
I’m straight outta Philly
Stop filling me out
I’m a product of two that were never the same
A product of two driving separate lanes
That collision was different
They cannot forget
When I flew out the whip
I was never the same
Now I gotta story
A story to tell
I’m reaching for heaven
And stepping on hell
Been watching my step cause I’m walking on shells
Everybody been sensitive
Get it together
Brought my umbrella
I’m ready for whether or not or whatever you fixin’ to say to me
Don’t even play with me
Empty the clip just to fill out the vacancy
Time is still coming
Let’s wait for it
