| Lyrics: | [Xzibit]
Ain't a damn thing promised to ya
Except livin your life, and dyin one day, I'm
just bein honest to ya
It take a whole lot, just to get a little
Gettin caught up in the
middle the answer to life's riddles
never, come that easy, but it was easy
to lead me, but
it wasn't easy to see me
Get up off the block to the TV
And sell a couple million CD's, best
believe me
You see these callouses on my soul?
Couldn't let hate and paralysis, take
control
I pick you up when you down 'til I can't no mo'
My name sting in your mouth like
canker sores
Been at war my whole life, sleepless nights
Endless fights, but still can't
walk to the light
Cause my work ain't finished on earth, for what it's worth
From the cradle
to the hearse, God and family first, for real
[Chorus: singer]
Somewhere in the heart
of man (somewhere, within, somewhere)
There comes a time when he must understand (when he must
understand)
The strong withstand, the weak will fall {*repeat*}
Cause tomorrow may not come
at all {*repeat*}
[Xzibit]
Life ain't long, it's more like a snapshot
You can have
the top, I live for the hop
Never take a day I'm breathin on this planet for granted
Time
for change, time for growth, peace understandin
See but niggaz keep forcin my hand, disturbin my
plans
Bringin out the soldier in a peaceful man
It's like tryin to build a house on sand;
you never get
a solid foundation, one man can change the nation
Yo I put that on all
creation; Haitian, Jamaican
African, Asian, Caucausian, Indian
Whatever your persuasion,
this is the message
Time is of essence especially when you're countin your blessings
Lessons
learned from the deepest of pain, it's not a game-acapo |
