[00:20.84] 2pac:
[00:23.69] Sometimes its hard to wake up in the morning
[00:26.08] Mind full of demons, I don't wanna hear them anymore
[00:28.82] Got me heartbroken,fine, so many babies screaming
[00:31.31] Cause they seeing destruction before they a see human being
[00:33.83] So they start smoking ****, we'll never get our day
[00:36.48] Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shape
[00:39.02] Cause they all broke. and why do ghetto birds die
[00:41.82] Before we learn to fly, some bodies else's child caught in guns
[00:44.76] Smoking ****, can all make a change
[00:47.02] So I'm told, but I haven't seen the change unfold,
[00:49.70] I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe,
[00:52.29] Communities in need of people that will lead
[00:54.82] Keep your eyes open now, can only say I'll try
[00:57.47] Until the day I die, I promise to be wise
[01:00.10] With my heart open free, brings only misery
[01:02.68] A way to tragedy, so I stay sucker free
[01:05.18] Only a few chosen, rise (rise)
[01:06.67] My ghetto queen, rise (rise)
[01:07.97] Don't be afraid to try (try)
[01:09.30] Too many of us died to the door to open wide
[01:11.91] My brother be wise, stay focused on the prize
[01:14.53] Though everybody dies
[01:15.58] We can...
[01:15.79] Eminem:
[01:15.80] Only learn to take, our anger and our hate
[01:18.36] Control our mental state, settle down, and just set it straight
[01:21.16] Maybe we can learn to take a second to pump the brakes
[01:23.57] For we said it, regret it later, and let it escalate
[01:26.19] Cause by then its too just late, theres so much we can take
[01:28.71] Theres only so much someone can swallow and tolerate
[01:31.39] To the point that he just breaks, snaps and thats all it takes
[01:33.97] You'd think that we was learning from other rappers mistakes
[01:36.79] But we aint
[01:37.59] Its plain to go against, with every artists, comes the image he portrays
[01:40.61] And a picture that he paints
[01:41.85] But in the midst of all this anger and this angst
[01:43.78] Never once did you hear me say I'm a gangster and I aint hear no complaints
[01:46.95] But I know, that I will always continue to grow,
[01:49.56] As long as I lead and never follow no one else's shadow
[01:52.29] There will never be another me
[01:53.84] And that I can guarantee
[01:55.29] Thats why the **** I remain sucker free to this day
[01:57.61] The game will never be the same
[02:00.08] No matter how much fame or success they attain
[02:02.70] There will never be another me
[02:04.54] And no matter what they do
[02:05.94] There will never be another you
[02:07.79] You can search but you'll never find
[02:09.71] You can try to rewind time
[02:11.73] But in your hearts and your minds
[02:13.38] We will never die
[02:14.42] We are forever alive
[02:15.66] And we continue growing....
[02:16.85] One day at a time
[02:17.95]
[02:18.28] Don't be caught in the publicity and caught in the hype
[02:20.82] Rappers are regular people minus money and light
[02:23.29] Searching for fortune and fame, and super stardom
[02:26.08] All the jewelry, all the cars, whose crew is the hardest.
[02:28.80] Now the hip-hop police, the villains is watching
[02:31.16] And kids think beef is the only option
[02:33.95] Outlaws born filthy, guilty as charged
[02:36.53] My memories of him die, but makaveli lives on
[02:39.09] You think the industry is fun
[02:40.54] And no pity with guns
[02:41.74] And when your money is up
[02:42.82] Thats when your enemies come
[02:44.02] So if he died and came back
[02:45.81] Would he try to save rap?
[02:47.45] We needing a change, the drama remains
[02:49.66] I spent my whole life, fighting myself
[02:51.88] That I cant win so I'm inviting some help
[02:54.65] and every now and then I take rights from left
[02:57.15] Im still just like a kid, looking for stripes on my belt
[03:00.08] And that there is a fight in itself
[03:02.40] So I just pray and hope god
[03:03.95] Take a like to myself
[03:05.18] No matter how much I try (stay alive)
[03:07.08] I'm gunna die mad, still standing there in love with my pride
[03:10.13]
[03:10.50] Heard frivolous beats, we past that
[03:12.63] I'm trying to keep some income coming in
[03:14.42] And collect on my ass cap
[03:15.72] The rappers in the game aint changed
[03:17.76] And I finally realized that we not in the same game
[03:20.75] The hating will never end, so I guess I'll deal wit it
[03:23.54] Them 4-5 with cop killers, just some steel wit it
[03:26.20] The streets is military, you gotta be a soldier
[03:28.88] Gotta stay leery and keep your eyes on the rollers
[03:31.50] As they do what they gotta do to shackle and hold us
[03:34.13] So we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rolling
[03:36.73] One way at a time, keep the faith in your mind
[03:38.87] and we continue growin...
[03:39.97] 2Pac:
[03:40.07] ...One day at a time. Damn!
