Death Has Died

[Verse 1] It was just last week that my grandma died It's been years since I've seen family on my father's side A bittersweet moment but tell me why Nothing less than the sting of death brought us together I sat and listened to the priest tell lies To appease loved ones in they seats When you're looking at a face that's weeping The grim truth don't bring 'em no peace So I put on all white gloves like Mr. Jackson Carry the casket to the Cadillac then I realize this is the first time that me and my brothers ever did something together Whatever, I'm grown now, come on, let's just put on our smiles and take pictures, we can take pictures Eat this humble pie and leave them dishes For somebody else to clean 'em until I see ya'll again [Pre-Hook] (Breaking down, breaking down) Everything here is breaking down (Br-br-Breaking down, breaking down) It's all breaking down down down (Breaking down, breaking down) Everything here is breaking down (Breaking down, breaking down) But this won't be forever no [Hook] You used to make me cry But one day he'll wipe every tear from our eyes He'll come make all things right And we'll sing death has died, but until that day [Interlude] Until that day Oh, until that day Oh, oh, oh This won't be forever Until that day Oh, until that day Oh (this won't be forever) This won't be forever [Verse 2] I hopped off the plane My God, what a scene that I seen on that TV screen People huddled round, hands on they mouth Not again, same problem, it hit a new town Twenty-six dead, twenty of 'em kids Where do you begin when some lives just ended And everybody got the question "If God's so good, how he let this happen?" Is it mental health? Is it gun control? Is it we make superstars out of animals? Is it the movies we make? The video games? I don't know, but God I want an antidote All I know is this world is broken Our sin is the reason it ain't like it's supposed to Words fall short tryna comfort the grieving But you gotta know that there's hope to believe in One day my God gon' crack the sky He gon' bottle up every tear that we ever cry Bring truth to every lie, justice for every crime All our shame will be gone and we'll never have to hide No more broken hearts, no more broken homes No more locking doors, no more cops patrolling No abusive words, or abusive touches No more cancerous cells that'll take our loved ones No more hungry kids, no more natural disasters No child will ever have to ask where his dad is No funerals, where we wear all black And death will be dead, then we'll lock the casket, yes [Hook x2] [Interlude/Outro]
