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] |

...One day at a time. Damn! |
