One day you’re standing
Ten feet tall
And when you look around
You’re heading for a fall
Ya can’t afford to heed
The message in the call
You have a greater need
Know what I’m saying y’all

From one day to the next
You can’t say what’s gonna happen
Under any pretext
You don’t wanna get caught napping
It can leave you perplexed
And I’m not here just rapping
Examine the text
My thoughts are overlapping

Just a moment ago
Everything was fine
But that’s the way it goes
Don’t you know love is blind
Somewhere down the line
That’s what you’re gonna find
Whenever it is
Must I still remind

From one day to the next
You can’t say what’s gonna happen
Under any pretext
You don’t wanna get caught napping
It can leave you perplexed
And I’m not here just rapping
Examine the text
My thoughts are overlapping

Awe hell anyway
What more can I say
Other than this
Pray things will be okay
You never know
When it comes into play
Besides tomorrow
Is yet another day

Look for the worst
But pray for the best
No need to rehearse
What will happen nonetheless
Why not wait and see
What will be at best
So take that heavy burden
Right up off your chest

From one day to the next
You can’t say what’s gonna happen
Under any pretext
You don’t wanna get caught napping
It can leave you perplexed
And I’m not here just rapping
Examine the text
My thoughts are overlapping
