Lyrics

[00:06.87] Life, what is it for real? I don't know.
[00:11.89] Yo It's like hate taking over the whole world,
[00:14.21] What is it over?
[00:15.61] Suicide man that's the devil trying to control us,
[00:17.87] They told us
[00:18.63] But we didnt notice
[00:19.57] The pain was sittin on they shoulders
[00:20.72] The world is just to polar
[00:22.03] They'd rather live in the solar
[00:23.17] System got us hopeless, and focused on foreclosures
[00:25.13] Wake up and smell the folgers
[00:27.27] Obama bring home the soldiers
[00:28.43] Osama, you owe us, the 9 11 was bogus
[00:30.63] Now we right back at em
[00:31.84] Say the world is our motive come on.
[00:35.93] Hey wake up early in the streets of the block,
[00:39.14] Streets of the block.
[00:41.54] He posted up on the corner like a soldier
[00:43.47] In the drill but he wouldn't stop
[00:46.18] Living life in the battlefield, battlefield
[00:51.30] Trying to survive every day and every night,
[00:54.28] It's the same deal
[00:56.95] Lifes strange (Lifes strange)
[00:58.22] Times change (Times change)
[00:59.25] But karma always finds the way
[01:01.85] Stay strong (Stay strong)
[01:03.09] Hold on (Hold on)
[01:04.42] Don't let all your dreams fade away
[01:07.02] Yeah life can beat you down
[01:09.44] What goes it comes around
[01:11.97] It's not how you hit the ground
[01:13.97] It's how fast you get back up
[01:16.33] And go,keep going
[01:19.33] Sometimes it feels like I'm giving my life away
[01:21.65] It gets hard, and harder
[01:24.45] Happiness is worth the wait
[01:26.74] Cause on my own is a better way!
[01:31.61] Cause on my own is a better way!
[01:38.51] A lot of mothers they just don't understand
[01:40.48] (They just don't understand)
[01:42.38] They think we're hard on our sons
[01:44.35] But we gotta teach our boys how to be A man
[01:47.46] They only know when they walk out the door
[01:50.58] (When they walk out the door)
[01:53.00] See we can show em how to fire,
[01:54.62] But they gotta teach themselves how to reload
[01:57.63] Cause unenployment is harder than its ever been
[02:00.27] Sometimes it feels like i cant win
[02:02.95] And even through all the rules keep changing
[02:05.44] I'm stronger now than I was when I came in
[02:08.62] Yeah life can beat you down
[02:10.71] What goes it comes around
[02:13.26] It's not how you hit the ground
[02:15.25] It's how fast you get back up
[02:17.58] And go, keep going
[02:20.66] Sometimes it feels like I'm giving my life away
[02:22.95] It gets hard, and harder
[02:25.74] Happiness is worth the wait
[02:28.11] Cause on my own is a better way!
[02:32.96] Cause on my own is a better way!
[02:38.79] Hey Hey going through the back streets
[02:40.52] Like we got beef
[02:41.47] Carnival for carnivores with the sharp teeth
[02:43.86] They animalistic that's why we call the cops beast
[02:46.33] We're on the hunt
[02:47.62] Cause they're hungry for the dark meat
[02:49.13] I'm rapping to my heart beat
[02:50.72] Brain is the base
[02:51.92] My heart is the drum,
[02:53.26] Give the drum some
[02:54.26] Promise of a better life is all I got to give
[02:56.64] I ain't just trying to survive, I'm trying to live
[02:59.37] Cause all I want is a better way, Hey
[03:05.13] If you're not prepared the world can be so cold
[03:09.85] All that you can do is your best and just hope
[03:14.21] In time the truth will show
[03:17.18] Just stick to what you know
[03:19.71] Get a grip on something real and never let it go
[03:24.97] And go, keep going
[03:27.14] Sometimes it feels like I'm giving my life away
[03:29.22] And it gets hard, and harder
[03:32.16] Happiness is worth the wait
[03:34.20] Cause all I want is A better day
[03:39.24] Cause all I want is A better way
[03:45.37] Go! Keep going
[03:47.47] Sometimes it feels like I'm giving my life away
[03:49.61] And it gets hard, and harder
[03:52.50] Happiness is worth the wait
[03:54.68] Cause all I want is A better day
[03:59.63] Cause all I want is A better way
