| Sometimes its hard to wake up in the morning | |
| Mind full of demons, I don't wanna hear them anymore | |
| Got me heartbroken,fine, so many babies screaming | |
| Cause they seeing destruction before they a see human being | |
| So they start smoking weed, we'll never get our day | |
| Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shape | |
| Cause they all broke. and why do ghetto birds die | |
| Before we learn to fly, some bodies else's child caught in guns | |
| Smoking weed, can all make a change | |
| So I'm told, but I haven't seen the change unfold, | |
| I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe, | |
| Communities in need of people that will lead | |
| Keep your eyes open now, can only say I'll try | |
| Until the day I die, I promise to be wise | |
| With my heart open free, brings only misery | |
| A way to tragedy, so I stay sucker free | |
| Only a few chosen, rise (rise) | |
| My ghetto queen, rise (rise) | |
| Don't be afraid to try (try) | |
| Too many of us died to the door to open wide | |
| My brother be wise, stay focused on the prize | |
| Though everybody dies | |
| We can... | |
| [Eminem] | |
| Only learn to take, our anger and our hate | |
| Control our mental state, settle down, and just set it straight | |
| Maybe we can learn to take a second to pump the brakes | |
| For we said it, regret it later, and let it escalate | |
| Cause by then its too just late, theres so much we can take | |
| Theres only so much someone can swallow and tolerate | |
| To the point that he just breaks, snaps and thats all it takes | |
| You'd think that we was learning from other rappers mistakes | |
| But we aint | |
| Its plain to go against, with every artists, comes the image he portrays | |
| And a picture that he paints | |
| But in the midst of all this anger and this angst | |
| Never once did you hear me say I'm a gangster and I aint hear no complaints | |
| But I know, that I will always continue to grow, | |
| As long as I lead and never follow no one else's shadow | |
| There will never be another me | |
| And that I can guarantee | |
| Thats why the fuck I remain sucker free to this day | |
| The game will never be the same | |
| No matter how much fame or success they attain | |
| There will never be another me | |
| And no matter what they do | |
| There will never be another you | |
| You can search but you'll never find | |
| You can try to rewind time | |
| But in your hearts and your minds | |
| We will never die | |
| We are forever alive | |
| And we continue growing.... | |

| One day at a time | |
| Don't be caught in the publicity and caught in the hype | |
| Rappers are regular people minus money and light | |
| Searching for fortune and fame, and super stardom | |
| All the jewelry, all the cars, whose crew is the hardest. | |
| Now the hip-hop police, the villains is watching | |
| And kids think beef is the only option | |
| Outlaws born filthy, guilty as charged | |
| My memories of him die, but makaveli lives on | |
| You think the industry is fun | |
| And no pity with guns | |
| And when your money is up | |
| Thats when your enemies come | |
| So if he died and came back | |
| Would he try to save rap? | |
| We needing a change, the drama remains | |
| I spent my whole life, fighting myself | |
| That I cant win so I'm inviting some help | |
| and every now and then I take rights from left | |
| Im still just like a kid, looking for stripes on my belt | |
| And that there is a fight in itself | |
| So I just pray and hope god | |
| Take a like to myself | |
| No matter how much I try (stay alive) | |
| I'm gunna die mad, still standing there in love with my pride | |
| Heard frivolous beats, we past that | |
| I'm trying to keep some income coming in | |
| And collect on my ass cap | |
| The rappers in the game aint changed | |
| And I finally realized that we not in the same game | |
| The hating will never end, so I guess I'll deal wit it | |
| Them 4-5 with cop killers, just some steel wit it | |
| The streets is military, you gotta be a soldier | |
| Gotta stay leery and keep your eyes on the rollers | |
| As they do what they gotta do to shackle and hold us | |
| So we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rolling | |
| One way at a time, keep the faith in your mind | |
| and we continue growin... | |
| [2Pac] | |
| ...One day at a time. Damn! |
