Messenger - Afterlife

Afterlife
(Chorus)
Life is all about the afterlife
What you do here dictates paradise
Or absence of light
It's an eternal battle
A spiritual fight
Does your soul give milk and honey or have a blood sucking bite
Would you rather stroll freely in the sun
Or cower within the shadows until night
Who do you feel is right
Who do you feel is right

(Verse 1)
Jesus is always with me
But will I accept or reject Him
A world founded upon sin
Is so exciting to live in
Pleasures and Parties
Clever masks to cover up a heaven departing
Is partaking in my sinful life really worth starting
I say I got the girls, I say I got the mansions, I say I got the cars
I say I live the day spending benjamins and nights at clubs and bars
Though the question truly is
Am I trading a life full of everything here for a soul full of nothing there
That thought leaves a chilling scare
But wouldn't that be fair
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
It's easier for a camel
To go through the eye of a needle
Than for a rich man to enter into heaven
Why don't I understand that like Cain I'll be banished for leading astray my brethren
Is there really a life video game lesson
Or how about a matrix
They say that's all fake kid
Or is it
I've chased and learned to live it
But seeing the world as a giant computer I'm told is schizophrenic
So I let everyone be oblivious to the trick
Yet you can't stop this visionary from becoming a hit
They won't listen to me preach so I say
Linguistic rhymes over music
Everyone listens that way
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
I tell you life is rather trite
But I endure it despite
These words that change the world
One day people will be screaming my name
But will it be worth the trouble and consequences
Will one day God hate my name being mentioned
Is it worth it to reach and teach this ascension
I really won't know till I get there
For now I can only live this life and keep up with my simple prayers
And hope that no matter what God will always care and always be there
I'll end it with this
Life can be worth living
Doing your part for freedom is worth giving
We all have a calling worth chasing
Everyday bosses we will be face to facing
Money we will want to be making
Risks that are worth taking
Visions of heaven worth contemplating
And these songs His psalms worth creating
So take control of your life and start dictating
(Chorus)
