Sooner or Later Lyrics
Sooner or later
It all comes crashing down (crashing down)
Crashing down (crashing down)
When everyone's around
I bet you would have paid 'em
All your cash down (cash down)
And now you make a sound (to make a sound)
Everyone knows now
So you're sad about the money
You lost your love (damn!)
You couldn't see her leaving (you were game)
And that's just on it
'Cause God yanked the rug (damn!)
And holding your heart will not help you breathe
Sooner or later
It all comes crashing down (crashing down)
Crashing down (crashing down)
When everyone's around
I bet you would have paid 'em
All your cash down (cash down)
And now you make a sound (to make a sound)
Everyone knows now
It all comes crashing down
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
And you should own it
And you fucked up (damn!)
You thought you were the team (you were game)
And now your opponent
He wears your glove (damn!)
A nightmare just ate up your dreams
Sooner or later
It all comes crashing down (crashing down)
Crashing down (crashing down)
When everyone's around
I bet you would have paid 'em
All your cash down (cash down)
And now you make a sound (to make a sound)
Everyone knows now
It all comes crashing down
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
Coulda had so much done
You blew it off (damn!)
Your chance is passing you by (you were game)
Time waits for no one
And it costs for lost
A cosmic joke should you laugh or cry
Sooner or later
It all comes crashing down (crashing down)
Crashing down (crashing down)
When everyone's around
I bet you would have paid 'em
All your cash down (cash down)
And now you make a sound (to make a sound)
Everyone knows now
It all comes crashing down
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It's over!
Leave it!
It all comes crashing down (crashing down)
Crashing down (crashing down)
When everyone's around
All your cash down (cash down)

I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG!! IT'S MY TOTAL FAVORITE!
I believe the reoccuring line for "you were..." is "YOU WERE GAME"
i think its one of the best songs off the album. I think the lyrics should be
"you wouldve paid up"
I don't know what it's about but it's a beautiful song xxx
Its supposed to be "And that sucks, don't it" Not; "And thats just on it"
I always thought it was "You were gaaaaaaaaaaaayyy!" But i guess "you were game" makes more sense
great song.
this is acool song. really well thought out and incorporates so much more than just "hip hop."
Clearly addresses the economy's current recession, but in a hopeful light
lol@yopop's comment XD
I always thought it "about the moment you lost your love". And also, i thought it was "to not make a sound". The song, to me, is about being in a relationship with someone you love dearly and or a dysfunctional relationship with someone and, everyone betting against it. And once you fuck up and the relationship's over you're trying to hurry up and put a hush on it because you don't wanna hear i told you so's. While you're keepin this on the hush you're wondering about all the things you've done wrong and you want to fix it but everyone, sayin it's over and to just leave it all alone. And you're in such shock that you're wondering should you cry because this seems so sudden, just accept it because shit happens or be happy because the other person is with someone else now. You never saw the relationship ending until everyone else and their ideas destroyed ya'll. But now you're contemplating whether you wanna try to make amends. Idk, i could wrong.
