On That Day Lyrics

Everybody asking bout the way I was brought up

Midwest living life stuck in a bottle

Mom and Dad taking turns living they own life

Different opinions led to living in more strife

Of course it was a given that they weren't gon ever stay damn

All you gotta do is look at divorce rate

Family's die down kids get thrown around

And you wonder why the schools end up in lockdown

But for me it was different

I kept my head up

Living two lives I could never be ignorant

Driving to my mama's house hours away

The weekend was a party gave her a bouquet

But the flowers withered mind soured

Our time spent together and reached its limit

The week was approaching father and son time

Life is but a dream when you're living on borrowed time

On that day

I was waiting for the headlines

On that day

I was waiting for the headline

Pressure is a mind game set by the father

As long as you act right they won't be bothered

If you ever disagree better keep it in silence

Twenty ass whoopings a tale of the violence

Being extra precautious living on a cliff

Don't you run away if you try you gon slip

Everyday was repetitive counterintuitive

The hatred was alive man I needed a sedative

Be careful what you say you gon set me off

If you ever let me down better pray for love

If you leave by surprise then you're dead to us

Living two different lives tore my mind apart

Tore my mind apart

Then it tore my life apart

On that day

I was waiting for the headlines

On that day

I was waiting for the headline

On that day

I was waiting for the headlines

On that day

I was waiting for the headline

I see the light that's shining in the distance

I see the light that's shining in the distance

I see the light that's shining in the distance

I see the light that's shining in the distance distance

Light that's shining in the distance

I see the light that's shining in the distance

I see the light that's shining in the distance distance

It's shining all over me

I can't let past darkness take ahold of me

I gotta break free I gotta break lose

Set this thing lose Imma be free

Imma be free and set me life free and set my life

Let the light shine

On that day

I was waiting for the headlines

On that day

I was waiting for the headline

On that day
