Life, what is it for real? I don't know.
2
Yo It's like hate taking over the whole world,
3
What is it over?
4
Suicide man that's the devil trying to control us,
5
They told us
6
But we didn't notice
7
The pain was sittin on they shoulders
8
The world is just to polar
9
They'd rather live in the solar
10
System got us hopeless, and focused on foreclosures
11
Wake up and smell the folgers
12
Obama bring home the soldiers
13
Osama, you owe us, the 9 11 was bogus
14
Now we right back at em
15
Say the world is our motive come on.

[Nelly:]
17
Hey wake up early in the streets of the block,
18
Streets of the block.
19
He posted up on the corner like a soldier
20
In the drill but he wouldn't stop
21
Living life in the battlefield, battlefield
22
Trying to survive every day and every night,
23
It's the same deal
24
Lifes strange (Lifes strange)
25
Times change (Times change)
26
But karma always finds the way
27
Stay strong (Stay strong)
28
Hold on (Hold on)
29
Don't let all your dreams fade away
30
Yeah life can beat you down
31
What goes it comes around
32
It's not how you hit the ground
33
It's how fast you get back up
34
And go, keep going
35
Sometimes it feels like I'm giving my life away
36
It gets hard, and harder
37
Happiness is worth the wait
38
Cause on my own is a better way!
39
Cause on my own is a better way!
40
A lot of mothers they just don't understand
41
(They just don't understand)
42
They think we're hard on our sons
43
But we gotta teach our boys how to be A man
44
They only know when they walk out the door
45
(When they walk out the door)
46
See we can show em how to fire,
47
But they gotta teach themselves how to reload
48
Cause unenployment is harder than it's ever been
49
Sometimes it feels like I can't win
50
And even through all the rules keep changing
51
I'm stronger now than I was when I came in
52
Yeah life can beat you down
53
What goes it comes around
54
It's not how you hit the ground
55
It's how fast you get back up
56
And go, keep going
57
Sometimes it feels like I'm giving my life away
58
It gets hard, and harder
59
Happiness is worth the wait
60
Cause on my own is a better way!
61
Cause on my own is a better way!
62
[Ali:]
63
Hey Hey going through the back streets
64
Like we got beef
65
Carnival for carnivores with the sharp teeth
66
They animalistic that's why we call the cops beast
67
We're on the hunt
68
Cause they're hungry for the dark meat
69
I'm rapping to my heart beat
70
Brain is the base
71
My heart is the drum,
72
Give the drum some
73
Promise of a better life is all I got to give
74
I ain't just trying to survive, I'm trying to live
75
Cause all I want is a better way, Hey
76
If you're not prepared the world can be so cold
77
All that you can do is your best and just hope
78
In time the truth will show
79
Just stick to what you know
80
Get a grip on something real and never let it go
81
And go, keep going
82
Sometimes it feels like I'm giving my life away
83
And it gets hard, and harder
84
Happiness is worth the wait
85
Cause all I want is
86
A better day
87
Cause all I want is
88
A better way
89
Go! Keep going
90
Sometimes it feels like I'm giving my life away
91
And it gets hard, and harder
92
Happiness is worth the wait
93
Cause all I want is
94
A better day
95
Cause all I want is
96
A better way
