End of Days

Susaye Greene


At an airport 
An announcer says 
When the flight 
To New York is due 
Pictures are clicked 
And Susaye is being 
Stopped by people 
Who want to talk to her 
And get her autograph 
She gives one to a male fan 
Soon 
She says goodbye to them 
And gets on the plane

If they really knew 
What was going on in my head

As I play from day to day
It doesn't matter 
What the people say
One rule for them 
And one rule for me
That's not the way 
It's supposed to be, hey
I didn't mean 
For things to go so far
But you've got to be true 
To who you are
She who stays plays 
Where the blaze lays
We're out of time 
It's the end of days

While I rocked London 
Stamford Hill
Got things done 
Never stood still
Made that big boy 
Grew him up
Fed him 
From this mother's cup
Time reassessed me 
Sent me to America
Time to claim 
What's mine as a diva

Gone too long 
Some people dissed me
You know you love me 
You know you missed me

What's mine is mine 
And I'm havin' it
Supremextreme 
Is maxin' the millennium
My secret's out 
Wordmaster, Songblaster
Move over 
I'm movin' faster now
What's gotta be done 
I'm doin' it

Can't handle it 
Get over it
Glamour

What's next? Wait and see
God's the manager of me
No fear here 
No stress, just bless
Keep lookin' 
Over your shoulder 
I press
Comin' up on ya 
Like a jet express
While you sleep 
I'm still up
I'll sleep in the grave 
That's soon enough
I keep rollin'

Keep rollin' while you cruise
Look out, you move, you lose
Get ready 
For the visual olympics

Drama
Time to put the money 
On the winner
Can't cut it? 
Home to your mama
Big girls only 
Step up, stand up
If you can't hang, move
I'm gonna kick it 
Til it hurts

As I play from day to day
It doesn't matter 
What the people say
One rule for them 
And one rule for me
That's not the way 
It's supposed to be, hey
I didn't mean 
For things to go so far
But you've got to be true 
To who you are
She who stays plays 
Where the blaze lays
We're out of time 
It's the end of days
