| [00:01.015] |
|
| [00:12.516] |
I only listened to one voice, defined as reckless |
| [00:14.936] |
Till I heard another utter your time is precious |
| [00:17.351] |
Never was concerned with them worldly pleasures |
| [00:19.690] |
But when I'm buried my words will be unearthed as treasures |
| [00:22.240] |
In drastic times, I'd revert to those measures |
| [00:24.619] |
Of Putting hands in the dirt to search for what's better |
| [00:27.179] |
Thirsting for cheddar like a rat in a dumpster |
| [00:29.309] |
And that gave me the hunger to rap with such thunder |
| [00:33.146] |
Was going under for a second, felt like a convicted man |
| [00:35.774] |
And struggle was my sentence but now bam |
| [00:38.072] |
I'm doubling my efforts, regardless of whatever |
| [00:40.669] |
Stumbles in my presence |
| [00:42.032] |
Made my entrance |
| [00:43.095] |
A cunning young apprentice and still |
| [00:44.844] |
Ain't speak a speck about a gun or bout a necklace |
| [00:46.856] |
My method is run until your breathless |
| [00:49.364] |
There's nothing gained from something that's stress less |
| [00:51.472] |
|
| [00:53.463] |
On every day we strained for this (We strained) |
| [00:55.700] |
And got to say there's been pain for this (Been pain) |
| [00:57.910] |
The life of them entertainers is (What) |
| [01:00.599] |
Ain't the bliss that they claim it is (It is not) |
| [01:02.899] |
On every day we strain for this |
| [01:05.450] |
And got to say there's been pain for this |
| [01:07.844] |
Experience we gained from this |
| [01:10.036] |
We so thankful... we never came up quick |
| [01:12.194] |
|
| [01:13.047] |
The race non-stop the pace, constant |
| [01:15.211] |
Wake everyday and got to face some nonsense |
| [01:17.351] |
Face the monsters , snakes to mobsters ...out there |
| [01:20.464] |
Trying to take your conscience |
| [01:22.308] |
Many working like slaves, its bonkers |
| [01:24.166] |
And use potions to sedate cause they somber |
| [01:26.761] |
I was taught to never trade the honour, that's laid upon ya |
| [01:29.463] |
Got to train, be stronger |
| [01:30.713] |
Your brain can wonder |
| [01:32.141] |
Get side tracked, many types you gotta drive back |
| [01:34.571] |
Sly rats and the type that like to wise crack |
| [01:37.085] |
High cats smoking ice until their eyes black |
| [01:39.623] |
Got you unable to write unless your pipes packed |
| [01:41.986] |
Came the hard way, tried to fight facts |
| [01:44.578] |
And started shedding some light upon the right maps |
| [01:47.013] |
Most my youthful life ,I was quite cracked |
| [01:49.421] |
Till I 360ed, dynamited at the mind traps |
| [01:51.779] |
Oh yes... |
| [01:52.518] |
|
| [01:53.393] |
On every day we strained for this (We strained) |
| [01:55.628] |
And got to say there's been pain for this (Been pain) |
| [01:58.064] |
The life of them entertainers is (What) |
| [02:00.339] |
Ain't the bliss that they claim it is (It is not) |
| [02:02.953] |
On every day we strain for this |
| [02:05.482] |
And got to say there's been pain for this |
| [02:08.012] |
Experience we gained from this |
| [02:10.002] |
We so thankful... we never came up quick |
| [02:13.304] |
|
| [02:56.648] |
Might have thought I liked the stress, the fight, the test |
| [02:58.899] |
A broken silence, no overnight success |
| [03:01.456] |
Pay the toll gate mate you've arrived in the west |
| [03:03.857] |
Where affluence meets with survival at best |
| [03:07.060] |
Guess who's live upon the set |
| [03:08.880] |
All eyes upon us, man we rising them bets |
| [03:11.336] |
Raising the stakes , why they patiently wait |
| [03:13.664] |
This the hour now, they faze in the greats |
| [03:16.280] |
Was sidetracked when I came in the place |
| [03:18.327] |
So I had to pay for my major mistakes |
| [03:21.058] |
Changed my traits, realised what it takes |
| [03:23.348] |
Can't be no passenger, man I'm a pilot them planes |
| [03:26.004] |
Lived wild but now they got files on my name |
| [03:28.334] |
Even ma knows now her child's come of age |
| [03:30.647] |
So from the sunshine to the darkest of days |
| [03:33.024] |
Went from basket case to master of a trade |
| [03:35.320] |
|
| [03:37.420] |
On every day we strained for this (We strained) |
| [03:39.910] |
And got to say there's been pain for this (Been pain) |
| [03:42.065] |
The life of them entertainers is (What) |
| [03:44.573] |
Ain't the bliss that they claim it is (It is not) |
| [03:46.983] |
On every day we strain for this |
| [03:49.442] |
And got to say there's been pain for this |
| [03:51.840] |
Experience we gained from this |
| [03:54.222] |
We so thankful... we never came up quick |
