[2pac]
2
Sometimes its hard to wake up in the morning
3
Mind full of demons, I don't wanna hear them anymore
4
Got me heartbroken,fine, so many babies screaming
5
Cause they seeing destruction before they a see human being
6
So they start smoking weed, we'll never get our day
7
Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shape
8
Cause they all broke. and why do ghetto birds die
9
Before we learn to fly, some bodies else's child caught in guns
10
Smoking weed, can all make a change
11
So I'm told, but I haven't seen the change unfold,
12
I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe,
13
Communities in need of people that will lead
14
Keep your eyes open, I can only say I'll try
15
Until the day I die, I promise to be wise
16
With my heart open, greed, brings only misery
17
A way to tragedy, so I stay sucker free
18
Only a few chosen, rise (rise)
19
My ghetto queen, rise (rise)
20
Don't be afraid to try (try)
21
Too many of us died to the door to open wide
22
My brother be wise, stay focused on the prize
23
Though everybody dies
24
We can...
25
[Eminem]
26
Only learn to take, our anger and our hate
27
Control our mental state, settle down, and just set it straight
28
Maybe we can learn to take a second to pump the brakes
29
For we said it, regret it later, and let it escalate
30
Cause by then its too just late, theres so much we can take
31
Theres only so much someone can swallow and tolerate
32
To the point that he just breaks, snaps and thats all it takes
33
You'd think that we was learning from other rappers mistakes
34
But we aint
35
Its plain to go against, with every artists, comes the image he portrays
36
And a picture that he paints
37
But in the midst of all this anger and this angst
38
Never once did you hear me say I'm a gangster and I aint hear no complaints
39
But I know, that I will always continue to grow,
40
As long as I lead and never follow no one else's shadow
41
There will never be another me
42
And that I can guarantee
43
Thats why the fuck I remain sucker free to this day
44
The game will never be the same
45
No matter how much fame or success they attain
46
There will never be another me
47
And no matter what they do
48
There will never be another you
49
You can search but you'll never find
50
You can try to rewind time
51
But in your hearts and your minds
52
We will never die
53
We are forever alive
54
And we continue growing....
55
[2pac]
56
One day at a time
57
Don't be caught in the publicity and caught in the hype
58
Rappers are regular people minus money and light
59
Searching for fortune and fame, and super stardom
60
All the jewelry, all the cars, whose crew is the hardest.
61
Now the hip-hop police, the villains is watching
62
And kids think beef is the only option
63
Outlaws born filthy, guilty as charged
64
My memories of Khaddafi, but Makaveli lives on
65
You think the industry is fun
66
And no pity with guns
67
And when your money is up
68
Thats when your enemies come
69
So if he died and came back
70
Would he try to save rap?
71
We needing a change, the drama remains
72
I spent my whole life, fighting myself
73
That I cant win so I'm inviting some help
74
and every now and then I take rights from left
75
Im still just like a kid, looking for stripes on my belt
76
And that there is a fight in itself
77
So I just pray and hope god
78
Take a like to myself
79
No matter how much I try (stay alive)
80
I'm gunna die mad, still standing there in love with my pride
81
Heard frivolous beats, we past that
82
I'm trying to keep some income coming in
83
And collect on my ass cap
84
The rappers in the game aint changed
85
And I finally realized that we not in the same game
86
The hating will never end, so I guess I'll deal wit it
87
Them 4-5 with cop killers, just some steel wit it
88
The streets is military, you gotta be a soldier
89
Gotta stay leery and keep your eyes on the rollers
90
As they do what they gotta do to shackle and hold us
91
So we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rolling
92
One way at a time, keep the faith in your mind
93
and we continue growin...
94
[2Pac]
95
...One day at a time. Damn!
