The Reaper

It was supposed to be a good day
Damn, God Damn
God

I remember the day so vividly
The reaper tapped me on my shoulder like remember me
I knew just who he was I seen him 7 months before
That's when he took my grandfather to go and see the lord
And all I could think was oh no not again
He said I didn't come for you but I'm here for your friend
Or better yet ya brother
Hold up don't take them I need to tell them I love them
if he ain't going to be here he knows I'll be thinking of them
They say that he had coming cuz he in these streets
But that don't mean nothin to me cuz I'm my brothers keeper
I asked the reaper could you go away and then come back
He said And if I did come back would you be ready then
It got me thinking I've known my brother since 11
No way a day would come when I'm ready for him in heaven
I turned around and I started praying to my God
He grabbed my shoulder turned me round and said I am the lord
I am the lord

It was supposed to be a good day
It was supposed to be a good day
It was supposed to be a good day
Damn, God Damn

I ran into this man again I'm like I know this brother
The Reaper he told me he was God said he here for my daughter
You must be kidding
You must be tryna destroy how you expect me to function with all these parts missing
He said Rain do you believe in me
I told them him you got me questioning you recently
Like Why would you give us life if it's to take away
Ain't you supposed to be the sun when it's a cloudy day
Ain't you supposed to be the map when I can't find my way
So why you here wit intentions to take my child away
And if you God wont you let me trade my life for hers
That's when he stopped me and said you know that ain't how it works
Well you must not be the God that you claim to be
Cuz you just walk around hurting people aimlessly
So what the hell do you even need my daughter for
He said I need her so you can finally see the lord
I am the lord

It was supposed to be a good day
It was supposed to be a good day
It was supposed to be a good day
Damn, God Damn

Now here I am, tryna summon this man again
Got this knife in my hand and my thoughts is scrambling
Look in the mirror the knife gets closer to wrist
I shouted out why do I even exist
And slit
Across the vein I slain
And then bang he came
He said you rain you ain't?
I said yea my pain
just been to great to explain
The Bloods dropping I'm faint
I Try moving I can't
He said man that's a shame
You got yo wife yo kids
You got yo bros yo sis
You got yo pops yo mom
Know you can get through the storm
All of ya pain yo tears
All off ya hurts ya fears
Through all ya rights ya wrongs
I've never left you alone
Know that I'm you and you me
And It was always a WE
For anything that you need
Just know you got to look deep
I know you really wanna see the lord
But what you really need is to learn how to be the lord
You are the Lord

It was supposed to be a good day
It was supposed to be a good day
It was supposed to be a good day
Damn, God Damn
