[Prevail]
|
Before I fade to black in the shaded shack,
|
In a box with handles and my family in back,
|
I will have achieved my life in leaves, of paper, that kept me safer than hangin with theives.
|
I've been in the big house, but not for long,
|
But long enough to know it's hard to make songs,
|
I played my cards and kept movin along,
|
Hooked up with Madchild and righted my wrongs,
|
You don't continue with circles, we generate light,
|
So three hundred and sixty five days I study and write,
|
I bloody the mic and will continue to learn,
|
From the best in the world until the night I burn.
|
I fought for my turn, you can check my gloves,
|
We both have inkpads covered with blood and scabs,
|
I love what I have but I will progress,
|
And I do every day when I take my first step,
|
It's all about Breath, when it's done I'm gone,
|
And death is a pawn in a game on a board of which I'm on.
|
I've had a sword in my palm from the very first tracks,
|
That were cut, mastered, and released under battleaxe.
|
It's nice to know that I've been a part of something reversal,
|
Camouflage to Consumption.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Yo it's funny how time flies,
|
Life has lows and highs,
|
And that's no surprise.
|
Come along for the ride,
|
Can you handle the drive?
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes.
|
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise,
|
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes.
|
|
[Madchild:]
|
Before I'm laid to rest, I'ma do my best,
|
'Cause the biggest death threat is too many regrets.
|
And I ain't goin out like I wonder what woulda happened,
|
If I'd never given up,
|
Kept on rappin.
|
Been so many years of blood, sweat and tears,
|
Fears to overcome, so I'ma give it my all,
|
And when it's last call,
|
At least there'll be no questioning.
|
If I fall, I'll know it just wasn't my destiny.
|
Maybe it's not meant to be, but eventually,
|
I gaurantee I'll satisfy myself mentally.
|
I'm sick and tired of the position acquired,
|
I appreciate it, but I've seen visions in fire.
|
A premonition, spiritually awaken,
|
With doses and moments of magic to take in.
|
We'll keep it movin' and go at it whole-hearted,
|
Madchild works the hardest to finish what he started.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Yo it's funny how time flies,
|
Life has lows and highs,
|
And that's no surprise.
|
Come along for the ride,
|
Can you handle the drive?
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes.
|
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise,
|
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes.
|
|
[(Madchild) Prevail:]
|
(There's no time to waste)
|
We move with grace,
|
(One life to embrace)
|
Though it feels like a race,
|
([Both:] Nameless faces in a dangerous place)
|
The strange and great,
|
(Rearrange your taste)
|
([Both:] From almost nothing,
|
To almost something)
|
From noone listening,
|
(To everybody jumpin)
|
([Both:] Kings on the mic, we got kings on production, fuck fallin off, this is just and introduction)
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Yo it's funny how time flies,
|
Life has lows and highs,
|
And that's no surprise.
|
Come along for the ride,
|
Can you handle the drive?
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes.
|
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise,
|
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes.
