Sometimes its hard,
|
to wake up in the morning
|
Mind full of demons
|
I don't wanna hear them anymore
|
Got me heartbroken,
|
find so many babies screamin'
|
Cuz they seein destruction
|
before they see a human bein
|
So they start smoking,
|
we will never get our day
|
Until we learn to pray,
|
keep our families in shape
|
Cuz they all broken,
|
why do ghetto birds die
|
Before we learn to fly,
|
somebody elses child caught in gun smoke
|
And we, can all make a change
|
So I'm told but I haven't seen a change unfold
|
I'll keep hopin please, if you prefer to breathe
|
Communities in need, of people that will lead
|
Keep your eyes open, I can only say I'll try
|
Until the day I die, I promise to be wise
|
With my heart open, greed brings only misery
|
Away the tragedy, so I stay sucker free
|
Only a few chosen rise, my ghetto queens rise
|
Don't be afraid to try, too many of us die
|
Before they daughter open wise,
|
my brother's speak wise
|
Stay focused on the prize, though everybody dies
|

|
We can only learn to take,
|
our anger and our hate
|
Control our mental state,
|
settle down and set it straight
|
Maybe we can learn to take a second to pump the brakes
|
Before we set it, regret it later and let it escalate
|
Cuz by then its just too late,
|
there's so much we can take
|
And there's only so much
|
someone can swallow and tolerate
|
To the point that he just breaks,
|
snaps, and its all it takes
|
You think that we was learnin
|
from other rappers mistakes
|
But we ain't, its plain to go against,
|
With every artist comes the image
|
he portrays and the picture that he paints
|
But in the mist of all this anger and this angst
|
Never once did you heard me say
|
I'm a gangster and I aint hear any complaints
|
But I know, that I will always continue to grow
|
As long as I lead,
|
and never follow no one else's shadow
|
There will never be another me,
|
and that I can guarantee
|
That's why the fuck I remain sucker free
|
To this day, the game,
|
will never be the same
|
No matter how much fame
|
and success they attain
|
There will never be another me
|
And no matter what they do,
|
there will never be another you
|
You can search but you'll never find
|
You can try to rewind time,
|
but in your hearts and your minds
|
We will never die,
|
we are forever alive
|
And we continue growin,
|

|
Don't get caught in the publicity
|
and caught in the hype
|
Rappers are regular people minus money and life
|
Seachin for fortune and fame and superstardom
|
All the jewlery, all the cars,
|
whos crews the hardest
|
Now the hip-hop police, the villains is watchin
|
And the kids think beef, is they only option
|
Outlawz born filthy, guilty as charged
|
My memories live to die, my Makaveli lives on
|
|
You think the industry is fun,
|
they no pity with guns
|
And when your money is up,
|
that's when your enemies come
|
So if he died, and came back,
|
would he try to save rap?
|
We needing a change,
|
the drama remains
|
|
I spend my whole life, (yeah) fightin myself
|
That I cant win, so I'm invitin some help
|
And hey now then, I take rights and some lefts
|
I'm still, just like a kid, lookin for stripes on my belt
|
Yeah, that there is a fight in itself
|
So I just pray and hope God, take a like to myself
|
No matter how much I try, stay alive,
|
I'm a die a man
|
Still standin there in love my pride
|
|
My heart fell for this bitch, we passed that
|
I'm tryin to keep some income comin
|
and collect all my ass cap
|
The rappers in the game ain't changed
|
And I finally realize that we not in the same game
|
The hatin' will never end, so I guess I'll deal with it
|
Them .45's will pop killa's, yes I'm still with it
|
The streets is military, you gotta be a soldier
|
Gotta stay leery, and keep your eyes on the rollers
|
They do what they gotta do to shackle and hold us
|
So we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rollin
|
One way at a time, keep the faith in your mind
|
[Eminem and Outlawz]
|
when we continue growin',

One day at a time
