Sooner or Later
Chiddy Bang Lyrics

Now when them fights go down
When fights break out

Them lights go down
The lights go out

In villas and the village people might be round
Fights can occur in both rich and poor areas

They say that all the people gonna like me now
People appreciate being spoken to about important issues

Because I talk about the issues in this life we found
The artist speaks about real life problems

All through the country people getting slain
People are being killed across the country

Priority religion disobey get hanged
Religious persecution is resulting in executions

I know some little kids quick to get militant
Children are becoming radicals

Just give them packs of the gun
They are given access to weapons

They really feel the clips
They feel empowered with the guns and ammunition

They told me not to worry 'bout the struggle
They advise not to worry about the challenges

And they don't gotta worry 'cause it's subtle
They don't worry because the challenges are not obvious

Tell 'em about the government taking away the light
The government is taking away opportunities for progress

Aviation is ruined they say when you take a flight
Air travel infrastructure is inadequate

Say when you take the continent from the white man threw
The white colonizers stole the land from indigenous people

White man colonize wealth can't do
Black people are unable to accumulate wealth due to colonization

They fly G5 but they gotta land too
Even rich people have struggles and face landing problems

We explode like the land mines that they ran through
We explode and expose their misdeeds like landmines

So we try palm trees in the sky
We try to stay positive

It's a beautiful day
Today is a good day

I am just happy to be alive
Grateful to be alive

I am playing with sling shots with renewable goods
Playing with basic, renewable resources

Think you got it tough because you're in the hood? Negative
It's tougher in other places as well

I am positive you would be in upset mode
You would be upset too in similar circumstances

When you wear the same thing like you got a dress code
Dressing similarly all the time due to financial constraints

I guess I am guilty of being privileged
The artist acknowledges their privilege compared to others

'Cause while I am in the booth my cousin is in the village
The artist is successful while their cousin struggles in the village

I seen a boy with no father
The artist saw a child without a father

His mom ain't around lifes harder
The child's mother is not present making life difficult

Picked up soccer he trying to go farther
The child is trying to achieve through soccer

Hair is a mess can't find him no barber
The child can't find a barber to get a haircut

And this is what it's like
This is the reality

When you ain't got a life
When you have nothing to lose or nothing to gain

I'm all they got left
The artist is what they have to look up to

But they trying to do right
They are trying to do the right thing

And they feel my plight
They understand my struggles

They giving them incite
They are providing guidance

I know we gotta win
We must succeed

So then fly me a kite
Let us achieve our dreams one day

The weather is just right
The weather is good

Say good morning when I see you
Being polite to others

'Cause I gotta be polite
It's important to be polite

And I am living something different
The artist has a unique life experience

'Cause this can't be the life
They are struggling to believe this is their life

You don't got a chance so you better focus on your plans
One must focus on their goals despite the odds

I try to grind like children that sell pure water
The artist works hard like children selling water on the street

The land of the lawless manslaughter
Living in a place where lawlessness reigns

Negotiate your price I'll take your offer
Haggling to get the best deal

In the market where they sell them what did that cost her
In a market where prices are high

I try to chase the gold out here
Working hard to achieve success

But honestly it's bumpy like the roads out here
The journey to success is not easy

And I advise if your salary is handsome
Advice for those who are earning well

Vulu feli feli they will hold you for ransom
People will want money from you if they know you have it

If you gotta take a glimpse of my family life
If you saw my reality at home

You will lose your mind Chris Brown on Grammy night
You would be shocked by the chaotic scene

And this is what the news don't show
The news doesn't show everything

There is nothing on the table so the dudes the dude's don't grow
There are no opportunities to grow or progress

We gonna make it out the village some day
We will achieve success and leave the village eventually

Sooner... later
It may take time, but it will happen eventually
