Heh. Different people, same things. It's kinda weird, to step back for a second and look at the world through their eyes. Of course, half of the world is still stuck on the "depressed teenager" mode, no matter how old that fad has gotten. It must be the "in" thing, I spose. That's why Meat Loaf woulda changed his mind right about now.
I was watching the "Life After Death" music video by KJ-52 (yes, I did buy the
whole CD mainly so I could watch the MVs on the 2nd disc. It was amazing. It really captured the energy and seriousness of the situation goin on. I may not be the most emotionally mature person in the world, but i'll admit it, I was cryin by the end of it. He did an amazing job at keeping the "hard rock" feel to it, even if, no doubt, it keeps to the rap roots.
I can't say much like I usually do. No ramblings about how sad I am, no complaining to do here. I'm glad, I remember how lucky I have it. And everytime I say that, it somehow ends up getting someone mad. Well, you know where to get it. And without further ado, here's the lyrics for "Life After Death" (i'm puttin them all up; I don't think the chorus does the whole thing justice):
"Life After Death" I rolled out of bed as the alarm started going off
rubbed my head with my arm it was the crack of dawn
I'm late for work and I really just hate my job
I kissed my wife goodbye then I walked across the lawn
Got the car out of the driveway and I'm riding on the road past the mall past the highway I'm flying on
But it slows to a crawl because some guy was just driving wrong
And I'm getting mad because I wonder why it's going on
Get out of the way I just scream as I'm driving on
I hate my day and this way that it's starting off
I change lanes and I thought I was pulling on to
The main lane but just then I saw this green honda
It straight came next thing it was the window shattered
Felt a great pain my body being bruised and battered
It all changed went black and I knew I'd had it
I coughed blood I breathed my last breath that was it
Chorus:
What ya gonna do when ya when there's no time left
What ya gonna do when you take the last step?
What ya gonna do when ya breathe your last breath
Out ya chest and ya find out there's life after death?
Next thing I know everything it just gets real quiet.
I open my eyes to my suprise now it's real silent
I realize I've died now it's my judgement
I'm standing before the Most Hight now and all of sudden
He said to me why should I let you into my heaven?
I told God well really I'm a good person
He showed my life and all the times now that I was sinning
Every line to every curse to every bad decision
From every lie to every word there was nothing hidden
He showed how Christ died and with my life that I'd killed him
He showed time after time how I'd reject him
I never cared about the sacrifice God had given
I never cared about my life or the way that I'd lived it.
And now I've died and it's too late to be forgiven
Guilty of my crime I'm sentenced to eternal prison
It's dark I'm alone I feel my flesh burning
Chorus
I got out of bed as the alarm started going off
Scratched my head and then I yawned it was the crack of dawn
I'm praying and I'm thanking God I got my job
I kissed my wife goodbye then I walked across the lawn
Got in the car out of the driveway and I'm riding on
The road by mall past the highway that I'm driving on
It slows to crawl because some guy was driving wrong
But I'm not mad I just wonder why it's just going on
I use the time to pray for my family now and for my mom
I'm thanking God for the way my day is strarting off
I change lanes and I thought I was pulling on to
The main lane but doesn't that guy see my green honda
He straight came next thing it was the window shattered
Felt a great pain my body being bruised and battered
It all changed went black and then I knew I'd had it
I coughed blood I breathed my last breath that was it
Chorus
