The Day After Lyrics by Masta Killa

The High Chief 2 (Mixtape)

0

[Intro]
{*humming the beat*}

[Verse 1]
I awoke from oppression, I began to write for y'all
Truth from a speck of light
I chose to bring belief to those that hunger for the food of thought
'Cause this is the life we chose
Fool's gold tempt many and led 'em astray
Others watched them go down, was afraid to speak on it
Some never recovered from the mental enslavement
I came greatness, the world wasn't ready to face me

[Chorus]
"Never.. the God too clever.. never.. he seen it comin..
Never.. the God too clever"

[Verse 2]
Now this wicked brother Cal
Ordered them to cover their faces painted with smiles and they came
From air, land and ocean, I watched as the sides of good and evil was chosen
Everything seemed to move in slow motion
People ran frantic as herds of wild steed
Their minds like rabbits, souls like deer
Fear was felt when the radiation melt the eyes from their heads
I fled, seeking cover to find none
Triumph a selection played by RZA, buildings crumbled
Missiles and bullets whistled, the Earth rumbled
Water filled tunnels quickly from both ends
Trucks dropped from buildings that swayed from high winds

[Chorus]
"They thought he would slither.."

[Verse 3]
Trees buckled like knees, continuing to build and break the seventh seal
From the sky came fiery hail, trains derailed
Horseman hooded with sheets shaped in concrete
War of the lion, voice thunder when I speak
From their finger came lightning, striking the beast {*thunder*}
Jail cell broken by the wise words spoken
Gun smokin', it's the def poet quotin'

[Chorus]
"Never.. the God too clever.. never.. he seen it comin.." Masta Killa
