Before And After chords by Lyrics Born
Verse 1
Em
This is hard for me to write it's
difficult to express this
Its heavy on my shoulders and the
weight gets relentless
F#m
Em
The story of brothers and a beautiful
friendship
And how relations get strained
with pressure and tension
Who's wrong, correct, so,
so, subjective
You look back its hard 'cause
the mind gets adventurous
Dates get mixed up facts disconnected
The only thing you remember is the
feeling that you're left with
Interlude 1
It started as a blessing
Em
Verse 2
Em
Now you could write this off as luck
or one of life's coincidences
But at some point you think god damn
what are the chances
People with similar interests
and influences
Coming together at that moment
to form a kinship
It's like you knew that you was
brothers before your conception
Even if you're not a spiritual
person I admit shit
At that point I wasn't but
at some point it sets in
It be foolish to dismiss this as coincidence
Now this shit is different,
somewhere this is written
Be part of a mission,
this shit is predestined
Closer than close like flesh is to tendon
Share my 50 cent bag of chips
with my freshman
Half a half a gas station
sandwich no question
Talking shit to me well then
talking shit to him then
Family is sacred it must be protected
Interlude 2
Family is sacred and it must be protected
Em
Verse 3
Em
Over time I don't know what happens
something got infected
People grow in different ways
at different rates I guess
It ridiculous,
little shit it suddenly gets big shit
G#m
Lapses in communication,
G#
Em
glitches in the system
He said that she said what nobody said shit
But you'll never know 'cause
everyone's passive aggressive
I sit down smoke pow wow
how everyone said shit
People cease to make the effort
to get to the essence
F#m
Peep this shit out though this
shit is really twisted
Funny thing is that you and I
do it every minute
We take it in rhetoric every time
somebody says shit
Against us stock piling every
Em
little incident
What's stupid is all the bullshit
that's circulating
Could be fixed in an instant
with simple conversation
But you know how pride is
A bitch with her fist clenched
That mixed with the fat drama
gets addictive
F#m
Wounds need dressing and they
don't receive attention
It snowballs and festers
and creates resentment
People demonise each other
brave discontent
But nobody could've
Em
been prepared for the next step
The nature of the predator is
calculated pensive
Waiting in the brush patiently
revving they engines
Despite the colour that they got
all they see is crimson
Waiting for they prey to become
desperate defenceless
Outside is always over just
beyond the fences
Today the gate is open though today
they make an entrance
Friendly at first laughs jokes
like we best friends
Slowly though you start to see
they become hidden agendas
Nine to five one day insecure
self perceptions
Shines a spotlight on all those
F
Em
paranoid self perceptions
Things begin to heat up everyone's
already stretched thin
How could you be well how
could you be so deceptive
Any second now someone will
snap like a bread stick
And what once was simply
dissolves like a breath mint
Just like that you start
to ask yourself questions
Is this really worth all the emotion
and depressment
Do the benefits and perks
outweigh the pressure
Let me step back give this
Outro 1
relationship assessment
Em
Am
