I took all the dirt they buried me in
 Made a garden to remind me of my sins
 I ain't never been accused of not tryin' hard enough
 Had my guts served up in a gold-plated cup
 Cancers, cancers; tiny dancers
 Two Devils on my shoulders
 And they're feeding me answers
 I go and assemble the words with my call
 From the beat to the back; from the head to the floor
 Night trains, right-brained, their brain cells
 Though it might not stand, but there is gray hair
 And I won't be force-fed to my death
 Born to a storm and the mess
 Torn from the mother, become another
 Undercover 'til the pores sweat
 Comin' down before it's wet
 Never start to regret
 I care for you
 Now I'm breathin' in the dust as you run away
 We are the ones who go down with the ship
 For regrets we will never admit
 Doing for others and you do for yourself
 Some of us suffer the wealth
 Some of us suffer so others' can eat
 We won't race to retreat
 Age is a timeless defeat
 Justice is a beast, our fight is not lost
 Willing to pay the cost, play the slots
 Hooray for props, take your shots
 This rap is real, **** you can feel
 Can't buy or steal
 We're taking the wheel and steering it into the ocean
 We're floatin' and hopin' the window's still open
 'cause we've got no time to kill
 Time for real, rhyme for meals
 Climb uphill and never sit still
 Shooting for feeling
 I'm killin' myself, it's OK, there's only today
 You thought I threw it all away
 But every single second slaved
 Has been worth living
 Time; you thought I threw it all away
 But every single second slaved
 Has been worth living. Time
 Raise a toast; break the glass
 Raise 'em full; make 'em last
 Like I'm a ghost with no fangs
 From back when the drums used to bang
 When we weren't engulfed in the name
 We were just stokin' the flames
 We weren't the horse for the fame
 Those were just doors with a chain
 Remember your boat or a plane
 Helping me float and maintain
 Every moment recording so slowly
 Eventually going away
 Never forgot what I came from
 Brains, brawn, pain; love
 Some gave up
 But I maintained game; tough
 Cancers, cancers; tiny dancers
 Two Devils on my shoulders
 And they're feeding me answers
 Cancers, cancers; tiny dancers
 Two Devils on my shoulders
 And they're feeding me answers
 Time, you thought I'd threw it all away
 But every single second slaved
 Has been worth living
 Time; you thought I threw it all away
 But every single second slaved
 Has been worth living. Time time
 Time; you thought I threw it all away
 But every single second slaved
 Has been worth living. Time time
 Time; you thought I threw it all away
 But every single second slaved
 Has been worth living. Time
