Reflection Eternal - Good Mourning lyrics

Good mourning, Brook nam
Another stop on the train
(Wake up wake up wake up)
We come to a stop that everybody got to make
Whether you local or express

What's the meaning of ghetto fabulous?
Not riding the back of the bus
I'm a revolutionary antagonist
Some playas is mad at us for just
Doin' our music out of love
Some underground heads is hatin' cause
We have fun at clubs
I'm probably on some government
List for my rhymin'
You a fool if you don't think
They already tapped your line
Medicine is big business so
My remedies is herbal
It's music is for the people
So we Reflection Eternal


Listen, you hear the difference between
Science and science fiction
We blow it out like if you leave
On every appliance in the kitchen
At once still rolling kind
Bud in Cuban blunts
On the corner watchin how kids comin
To Brooklyn for they fronts
Niggas run past what they need
Chasing after what they want fuckin chumps
You walk down the street and get jumped
Brooklyn cats like to bubble out
Of town no lookin back
When you a ghetto chef you mastered
The art of cookin crack
Some get caught sleepin on the Mother
City so when they go
They come back as tales of
Niggas we used to know
Never looked up to see the stars
In all they heavenly glory
Just straight ahead cause the peripheral
Is buildings with mad stories
Not floors but dramas is played out
Shorties get laid out
Like respect and fade out like TV sets
Into the banks of our memories
(let it be) we'll never forget you
Lyin on your deathbed askin for
God to bless you

Good mourning, good afternoon, good night
What have you done with your life?
Everybody time comes to be
Embraced by the light
You only scared to die when
You ain't livin right, man
I'm puttin up a hellafied fight
("Stay awake to the ways of the world")

I need you all to be clear
On exactly what I'm sayin
With your attention span I understand
That I ain't playin
You mistaken if you somehow think
It's just me you facin
Starin me down while your
Enemy is standin adjacent
My heart is racin but I know
Just what I stand for
We chasin death carelessly like Jessica
I Care Moore who said
"Just because no one can
Understand how you speak
Don't necessarily mean that what you
Be sayin is deep"
In case you die in your sleep you
Ask the Lord for a blessin
Sometimes they sneak up so quiet
That the silence is deafenin
You'll never know who the assassin is
Until it's your time to go
Your life is flashin
Askin for forgiveness but you move too slow
Now the people that you love bear
The pain that you once harboured
You was livin for yourself so you
Could never be a martyr life is hard
Death is harder you somebody baby father
Someone's lover, son of your mother
Somebody brother somebody nigga
Now your spirit in the air like a whisper
Hearin your name mentioned when we
Pourin out some liquor
The days go by quicker and the
Nights don't seem to differ
It's gettin cold, so I shivered and asked my
Soul to be delivered

Good mourning, good afternoon, good night
What have you done with your life?
Everybody time comes to be
Embraced by the light
You only scared to die when
You ain't livin right, man
I'm puttin up a hellafied fight

Yo, the time come for everybody
It ain't somethin you can really prepare for
Yo, yo, Mad Duke, rock rock on and
Curtis Mayfield, rock rock on and
Grover Washington, rock rock on and
My Aunt Hazel, rock rock on and
Big L, rock rock on and
Freaky Tah rock rock on and
Jerome Greene, rock rock on and
Slang Ton, rock rock on and
We celebrate life
