2Pac - One Day at a Time (Em's Version) Lyrics
Sometimes its hard to wake up in the morningMind full of demons, I don't wanna hear them anymoreGot me heartbroken,fine, so many babies screamingCause they seeing destruction before they a see human beingSo they start smoking weed, we'll never get our dayUntil we learn to pray, keep our families in shapeCause they all broke. and why do ghetto birds dieBefore we learn to fly, some bodies else's child caught in gunsSmoking weed, can all make a changeSo I'm told, but I haven't seen the change unfold,I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe,Communities in need of people that will leadKeep your eyes open, I can only say I'll tryUntil the day I die, I promise to be wiseWith my heart open, greed, brings only miseryA way to tragedy, so I stay sucker freeOnly a few chosen, rise (rise)My ghetto queen, rise (rise)Don't be afraid to try (try)Too many of us died to the door to open wideMy brother be wise, stay focused on the prizeThough everybody diesWe can...[Eminem]Only learn to take, our anger and our hateControl our mental state, settle down, and just set it straightMaybe we can learn to take a second to pump the brakesFor we said it, regret it later, and let it escalateCause by then its too just late, theres so much we can takeTheres only so much someone can swallow and tolerateTo the point that he just breaks, snaps and thats all it takesYou'd think that we was learning from other rappers mistakesBut we aintIts plain to go against, with every artists, comes the image he portraysAnd a picture that he paintsBut in the midst of all this anger and this angstNever once did you hear me say I'm a gangster and I aint hear no complaintsBut I know, that I will always continue to grow,As long as I lead and never follow no one else's shadowThere will never be another meAnd that I can guaranteeThats why the ***** I remain sucker free to this dayThe game will never be the sameNo matter how much fame or success they attainThere will never be another meAnd no matter what they doThere will never be another youYou can search but you'll never findYou can try to rewind timeBut in your hearts and your mindsWe will never dieWe are forever aliveAnd we continue growing....[2pac]One day at a timeDon't be caught in the publicity and caught in the hypeRappers are regular people minus money and lightSearching for fortune and fame, and super stardomAll the jewelry, all the cars, whose crew is the hardest.Now the hip-hop police, the villains is watchingAnd kids think beef is the only optionOutlaws born filthy, guilty as chargedMy memories of Khaddafi, but Makaveli lives onYou think the industry is funAnd no pity with gunsAnd when your money is upThats when your enemies comeSo if he died and came backWould he try to save rap?We needing a change, the drama remainsI spent my whole life, fighting myselfThat I cant win so I'm inviting some helpand every now and then I take rights from leftIm still just like a kid, looking for stripes on my beltAnd that there is a fight in itselfSo I just pray and hope godTake a like to myselfNo matter how much I try (stay alive)I'm gunna die mad, still standing there in love with my prideHeard frivolous beats, we past thatI'm trying to keep some income coming inAnd collect on my ass capThe rappers in the game aint changedAnd I finally realized that we not in the same gameThe hating will never end, so I guess I'll deal wit itThem 4-5 with cop killers, just some steel wit itThe streets is military, you gotta be a soldierGotta stay leery and keep your eyes on the rollersAs they do what they gotta do to shackle and hold usSo we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rollingOne way at a time, keep the faith in your mindand we continue growin...[2Pac]...One day at a time. Damn!
