| I never knew what I would be when I grew up
|
| I always thought I’d be a doctor or a lawyer or somethin
|
| You know, just kid dreamin
|
| I was told at a young age I never could rap
|
| That I would never be black but I ain’t ever look back
|
| Now I, murder a track with verbal attack
|
| Prefer to refer to the word that I heard in the black, book
|
| God giveth and he taketh away so I’ma live it like I’m dying today
|
| Naw I’m sayin though?
|
| Real words in the company of misery you’ll never make it out if you’re livin in
|
| a mystery
|
| Your history is everything that you were made of
|
| If you’re livin in the now, hopefully you’ll see it later
|
| If you’re livin in the past you can never bring it back you could only make it
|
| stronger
|
| But if you’re following the path then you put it on your back then you’ll live
|
| a little longer
|
| I was hungry as a baby at my first breath
|
| Comin up and hustlin and never would regret that
|
| I live this life as I would only know
|
| One day at a time one line in a rhyme on an open road
|
| I would never live back in the past only know how far I’ve gone
|
| And if you look me in the eyes you would never wonder why as I show my soul
|
| Ya
|
| Never livin in regret
|
| Never would I make a bet that I couldn’t write a check for the debt
|
| Never livin for the flesh, I could live with less
|
| Open up my soul and put my troubles to rest, confess
|
| All my anger and duress heavy weighin on my chest as I’m taking a breath
|
| Breath deep, think before you speak
|
| Don’t be a thief of all the dreams that they can reach, ya think?
|
| Try to open up your mind, leave it all behind
|
| Never mind all the evil that you’re gonna find
|
| You gotta come up above it, hate it or love it
|
| Push it or shove it, you gotta give it time
|
| I got a feelin if you’re livin in the moment
|
| You would feel like you were lonely, but it’s all in your mind
|
| And if you’re holdin onto feelins
|
| You can never really heal it if it’s growin inside
|
| That’s why
|
| I live this life as I would only know
|
| One day at a time one line in a rhyme on an open road
|
| I would never live back in the past only know how far I’ve gone
|
| And if you look me in the eyes you would never wonder why as I show my soul
|
| I live this life as I would only know
|
| One day at a time one line in a rhyme on an open road
|
| I would never live back in the past only know how far I’ve gone
|
| And if you look me in the eyes you would never wonder why as I show my soul |
