TICK TOCK (Afterlife) -
2003 De Bumpy Music Publishing (BMI / ASCAP)

Lyrics:

V1:

A boy was rolling / In his escalade / On the way to the club / Just got paid / Bumping on some twenty-fours / Chromed out spree wheels / Trimmed in gold / Checking out girls / With thoughts of lust / Lost control / Crashed into a greyhound bus / Doctors tried / But his life / They could not save / Now he's six feet DEEP in a cold grave //

(CHECK)Chorus:

Life is like a second / You here then gone the next / Didn't know he'll / Take eternal rest / Got to be mindful / Of the way we choose to live / Because the way we die / Determines the afterlife //

V2:

Teen girl / Had a fight with mama / Because she wanted her to go to church / Not listening she stormed out the door / Left her mom with a great hurt / The night chillin on her boyfriend's bed / Stray bullet shot / Landed in her head / She finally made it to church / But she rolled up in a black hearse //

Chorus:

Life is like a second / You here then gone the next / Didn't know she'll / Take eternal rest / Gots to be mindful / Of the way we choose to live / Because the way we die / Determines the afterlife //Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

The clock keeps tickin / Death don't care who she bites /The clock keeps tickin Not thinking of your color / Red, black or white / Clock keeps tickin Yo, you're young / that's cool /The clock keeps tickin The clock keeps tickin) She don't care if you're wise or a fool //

Chorus & Vamp lead vocals:

Gots to be mindful / seize the moment / Tomorrow is not promised / Gots to remember what you say and do / think about it / Like a second then you're here than you're gone / take avantage of the Son //
the way we live / Like a second / tick tock //
