Eminem - One Day At A Time (Eminem's Version) (feat. 2Pac & The Outlawz) Lyrics
(Part 1: Tupac)Sometimes its hard, to wake up in the morningMind full of demons, I dont wanna hear 'em anymoreGot me heartbroken, fine, So many babies screaminCuz they seeing destruction before they see a human beingSo they start smokin weed, we'll never get our dayUntil we learn to pray, keep our families safeCuz they all broken, why? Two ghetto birds dieBefore we learn to flySomebody else can say im pokin guns, smokin weedCan all make the change so im told but i havent seen a change unfoldI keep hopin, please! If you prefer to breathCommunities in need, of people that we leadKeep your eyes open now, then only say I tryUntil the day I die, I promised to be wiseWith my heart open, greed, brings only miseryA weight of tragedy, so I stay sucker freeOnly a few chosen rise, my ghetto queens riseDont be afraid to try, too many of us dieFor the thought of hopen wise, my brothers speak wiseThey focus on the prize, till everybody dies(Part 2: Eminem)We could only learn to take, our anger and our hateControl our mental state, settle down and just set it straightMaybe we could learn to take, a second to pump the brakesBut we said it, regret it later, and let it escaladeCuz by then its just too late, theres so much we can takeTheres only so much someone can swallow and tolerateTill the point that he just breaks, snaps and thats all it takesYou think that we was learnin from other rappers mistakesBut we aint, his brain will go againstWith every artist comes an image he portraysAnd a picture that he paintsBut in the midst of all this anger and this gangsNever once did you hear me say I'm a gangstaAnd I aint hear no complaintsBut I know, that I will always continue to growAs long as I lead, and never follow noone else's shadowThere will never be another me, and that I will guaranteeIts that why 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 do, there will never be another youYou can search but you'll never findYou can try to rewind time, but in your hearts and your mindsWe will never die, we are forever aliveWhen we continue going, one day at a time(Part 3: Outlawz #1)Dont get caught in the publicity, and caught in the hypeRappers are, regular people minus money and lightsSearchin for, fortune and fame and super stardomAll the jewelry, all the cars, who screws the hardestNow the Hip Hop Police's surveillance is watchinAnd the kids think beef is their only optionOutlawz, poor and filthy, guilty as chargedMy memories they can die, my -Makaveli- lives onYou think the industry is fun, and no pity with gunsAnd when your money is up, thats when your enemies comeSo if he died and came back, would he try to save rapWe needin a change, the drama remains(Part 4: Outlawz #2)I spend my whole life,(yeah) fightin myselfThat, I cant win, so I'm invitin some helpAnd every now and then, I take rights on the leftI'm still just like a kid, lookin for stripes on my beltThat day is a fight in itselfSo I just pray and hope God take a light to myselfNo matter how much I try to stay alive, I'mma die, madStill standin and in love with my pride(Part 5: Outlawz #3)My hard frivilous beef, we passed thatIm tryna keep some in c-comin and then collect on my ass capBut rappers in the game aint changedAnd I finally realized that we not in the same gameThe hatin will never end, so I guess I'll deal with itThem 4-5 a cop, chillers just I'm still with itThem streets is military, you gotta be a soldierGotta stay lirry and keep your eyes on the RollersThey do what they gotta do to shackle and hold usSo we gotta do it, we gotta do to keep growinOne way at a time, keep the faith in your mindWhen we continue growin, one day at a time (Damn!)
