lyrics
WHEN THE DAY COMES
INTRO
The beat just keeps going on and on
This road don’t stop for no one
Once you get goin you’re goin til you’re gone
AP G. bout to bring the real to your home
VERSE 1
In many ways the daily pains can make you feel like home
Has left you where you’re standing, make you feel abandoned
Nothing left in your hand it’s the way of the world
Is there any other way I can’t say it for sure
I gotta know that my lifetime is meant for something
Hanging on to hope that the right rhyme could save a country
There’s more than a few cracks in the foundation uh
Birth, bound and gagged that’s the basics huh?
You can’t quite see but forced to face it now
There’s an apple in the garden just taste it no
It’s not worth the hassles and the hardships it’s laced with
It builds up and bubbles til you just can’t take it
Aint no other way and you damn sure can’t fake it
There’s a light ahead of you it’s about time to embrace it
Gotta hold your head to the sky
The feeling in your left side is alright
Take my hand and lets, lets fly tonight
CHORUS
We can get up and weather the storm
Stand with me baby until the dawn
When the day comes we’ll make our move
We’ll fly higher than the sun and the moon
We will fly
We will soar
Never come down
Forever we’ll soar
VERSE 2
I just don’t think it’ll ever change
If the best we can do is learn to deal
And if we never repeal the dealings of the evil
then we will never get the power back to the people
Now there’s no hands to help the man dying in the street
Cuz the hands at the top are too dirty from their greed
And they can’t see the seed that they’ve planted for our future
But in the land of the blind the man with one eye is king
And I’ve got both of mine open wide so I can see these things
And this is crucial
We got billions for bailouts and killings for handouts
Our entertainment is scandals there’s arraignments for vandals
But no one’s contained these animals
Who have spent their way straight into the grave
But we won’t follow no longer will we let these pigs wallow
We’re gonna clean up their filth and get our wings rebuilt
And fly farther than our fore fathers would’ve ever thought possible
Come on let’s show em that together we are unstoppable
VERSE 3
Just bring it back to me one more time
Now let me tell you how I really honestly do feel
I feel it’s my duty to be a reminder
That there’s so damn much love in this world we just have to find it
Now when I say the word world I mean everybody
from every state and every country
we’re all tired of the hate and the bloodshed
some say it’s fate and there’s nothing
we can do we’re already past ruin
but that’s not true and that’s just not human
we have the power to change our destiny
it’s time to try a new recipe
just a simple handshake and a smile
that’s all it takes to move a mile in the right direction
if that’s too much to ask you need to check your reflection
there may just be a little problem with you
maybe your mommy and daddy just needed to give you more hugs
cuz see your enemies heart beats just as sure as yours does
maybe it’s just about time to grow up and time to realize
we’ll be our own demise if we don’t change our tide
what better day than today to rise
