Tap any line for its meaning
1
Sometimes its hard to wake up in the morning
2
Mind full of demons, I don't wanna hear them anymore
3
Got me heartbroken,fine, so many babies screaming
4
Cause they seeing destruction before they a see human being
5
So they start smoking weed, we'll never get our day
6
Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shape
7
Cause they all broke. and why do ghetto birds die
8
Before we learn to fly, some bodies else's child caught in guns
9
Smoking weed, can all make a change
10
So I'm told, but I haven't seen the change unfold,
11
I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe,
12
Communities in need of people that will lead
13
Keep your eyes open, I can only say I'll try
14
Until the day I die, I promise to be wise
15
With my heart open, greed, brings only misery
16
A way to tragedy, so I stay sucker free
17
Only a few chosen, rise (rise)
18
My ghetto queen, rise (rise)
19
Don't be afraid to try (try)
20
Too many of us died to the door to open wide
21
My brother be wise, stay focused on the prize
22
Though everybody dies
23
We can
24
Only learn to take, our anger and our hate
25
Control our mental state, settle down, and just set it straight
26
Maybe we can learn to take a second to pump the brakes
27
For we said it, regret it later, and let it escalate
28
Cause by then its too just late, theres so much we can take
29
Theres only so much someone can swallow and tolerate
30
To the point that he just breaks, snaps and thats all it takes
31
You'd think that we was learning from other rappers mistakes
32
But we aint
33
Its plain to go against, with every artists, comes the image he portrays
34
And a picture that he paints
35
But in the midst of all this anger and this angst
36
Never once did you hear me say I'm a gangster and I aint hear no complaints
37
But I know, that I will always continue to grow,
38
As long as I lead and never follow no one else's shadow
39
There will never be another me
40
And that I can guarantee
41
Thats why the f*** I remain sucker free to this day
42
The game will never be the same
43
No matter how much fame or success they attain
44
There will never be another me
45
And no matter what they do
46
There will never be another you
47
You can search but you'll never find
48
You can try to rewind time
49
But in your hearts and your minds
50
We will never die
51
We are forever alive
52
And we continue growing
53
One day at a time
54
Don't be caught in the publicity and caught in the hype
55
Rappers are regular people minus money and light
56
Searching for fortune and fame, and super stardom
57
All the jewelry, all the cars, whose crew is the hardest.
58
Now the hip-hop police, the villains is watching
59
And kids think beef is the only option
60
Outlaws born filthy, guilty as charged
61
My memories of Khaddafi, but Makaveli lives on
62
You think the industry is fun
63
And no pity with guns
64
And when your money is up
65
Thats when your enemies come
66
So if he died and came back
67
Would he try to save rap?
68
We needing a change, the drama remains
69
I spent my whole life, fighting myself
70
That I cant win so I'm inviting some help
71
and every now and then I take rights from left
72
Im still just like a kid, looking for stripes on my belt
73
And that there is a fight in itself
74
So I just pray and hope god
75
Take a like to myself
76
No matter how much I try (stay alive)
77
I'm gunna die mad, still standing there in love with my pride
78
Heard frivolous beats, we past that
79
I'm trying to keep some income coming in
80
And collect on my a** cap
81
The rappers in the game aint changed
82
And I finally realized that we not in the same game
83
The hating will never end, so I guess I'll deal wit it
84
Them 4-5 with cop killers, just some steel wit it
85
The streets is military, you gotta be a soldier
86
Gotta stay leery and keep your eyes on the rollers
87
As they do what they gotta do to shackle and hold us
88
So we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rolling
89
One way at a time, keep the faith in your mind
90
and we continue growin
91
One day at a time. Damn!
