End of Days
susaye greene Lyrics

At an airport
The setting of Susaye Greene's experience

An announcer says
The background noise and interruptions happening around her

When the flight
The imminent departure of her flight to New York

To New York is due
The destination of her flight and presumably, her plans for what comes next

Pictures are clicked
People recognizing her and seeking a moment with her

And Susaye is being
The focus of all the attention

Stopped by people
The people trying to talk to her and get her autograph

Who want to talk to her
The reason why she's being stopped by these people

And get her autograph
The reason why people are seeking her attention

She gives one to a male fan
Her graciousness towards her fans

Soon
The inevitability of her departure

She says goodbye to them
Her farewell to the people who stopped her

And gets on the plane
Her moving on with her own plans

If they really knew
The disconnect she feels from others despite all their attention

What was going on in my head
Her personal thoughts not shared with anyone else

As I play from day to day
Life moving forward for her regardless of its challenges

It doesn't matter
The insignificance of what others say

What the people say
The lack of effect of other people's opinions on her

One rule for them
The unevenness among how people are treated

And one rule for me
The unfairness she experiences

That's not the way
The absence of fairness in the world

It's supposed to be, hey
Her unmet expectations of how things should rightly be

I didn't mean
Her admission of unintended outcomes

For things to go so far
The unexpected consequences of her actions

But you've got to be true
Her adherence to her own values

To who you are
Staying true to oneself despite everything else

She who stays plays
Her recognition of the importance of persistence

Where the blaze lays
The idea of following the heat, the excitement

We're out of time
The urgency of the situation

It's the end of days
The sense that something is coming to an end

While I rocked London
Her past accomplishments, the things she did before

Stamford Hill
The localization of her past accomplishments

Got things done
Her progress in life

Never stood still
Her continuously moving forward

Made that big boy
Her contribution to someone else's success

Grew him up
Her responsibility towards the person she helped

Fed him
Her nurturing of the person she helped

From this mother's cup
The idea of maternal guidance and care

Time reassessed me
The sense of change happening around her

Sent me to America
Her new opportunities in a new place

Time to claim
Her intention to take what's rightfully hers

What's mine as a diva
Her entitlement to the success she deserves

Gone too long
Her absence from the scene

Some people dissed me
Her negative experiences with other people

You know you love me
Her perceives of the audiences' appreciation for her artistry

You know you missed me
Her perception that people acknowledge her absence

What's mine is mine
Her sense of ownership over her successes

And I'm havin' it
Her determination to secure what she deserves

Supremextreme
The idea of being dominant

Is maxin' the millennium
The idea of succeeding in the new age

My secret's out
The fact that she has an advantage to others

Wordmaster, Songblaster
Her talents and skills that set her apart

Move over
Her claim to her space

I'm movin' faster now
Her sense of momentum and progress

What's gotta be done
The tasks she needs to complete

I'm doin' it
Her commitment to fulfilling her tasks

Can't handle it
Her acknowledgement of the difficulty of the task

Get over it
Her request for others' compliance or acquiescence

Glamour
Her association with style, fashion, prestige

What's next? Wait and see
Her outlook on her future

God's the manager of me
Her belief in a higher power's guidance

No fear here
Her lack of fear

No stress, just bless
Her peacefulness and gratitude

Keep lookin'
Her request for the audiences' attention

Over your shoulder
Her claiming presence behind others

I press
Her determination to advance

Comin' up on ya
Her future proximity to others

Like a jet express
Her rapid advancement

While you sleep
Her simultaneous progress while others rest

I'm still up
Her persistence and vigilance

I'll sleep in the grave
Her commitment to her work until death

That's soon enough
Her acceptance that death is inevitable

I keep rollin'
Her continuous forward motion

Keep rollin' while you cruise
The importance of maintaining momentum despite life's distractions

Look out, you move, you lose
The need for alertness and quick thinking

Get ready
Her anticipation of what comes next

For the visual olympics
The idea of performing and entertaining

Drama
The unpredictability of life

Time to put the money
The stakes of the situation

On the winner
Her desire to be the one who wins

Can't cut it?
Her taunting of others who can't keep up

Home to your mama
Her suggestion for others to go home

Big girls only
Her emphasis on the importance of strength

Step up, stand up
Her challenge for others to prove themselves and take action

If you can't hang, move
Her blunt advice for people who can't keep up

I'm gonna kick it
Her determined mindset

Til it hurts
Her willingness to endure until the end
