Ain't a damn promised to ya Except livin' your life, and dyin' one day, I'm just honest to ya It take a whole lot, just to get a Gettin' caught up in the the answer to life's riddles Never, come that easy, but it was To lead me, but it wasn't to see me Get up off the to the TV And a couple million CD's, best believe me
You see these on my soul? let hate and paralysis, take control I you up when you down 'til I can't no mo' My name's sting in your like canker sores Been at war my whole life, sleepless Endless fights, but still walk to the light 'Cause my work finished on earth, for what it's worth From the to the hearse, God and family first, for real
Somewhere in the of man (Somewhere, within, somewhere) There comes a time he must understand (When he understand) The strong withstand, the weak will (The strong withstand, the weak fall) 'Cause tomorrow may not at all ('Cause may not come at all)
ain't long, it's more like a snapshot You can have the top, I for the hop Never take a day I'm breathin' on this planet for Time for change, for growth, peace understandin' See but keep forcin' my hand, disturbin' my plans out the soldier in a peaceful man It's like tryin' to a house on sand, you never get A foundation, one man can change the nation
Yo, I put that on all creation, Haitian, African, Asian, Caucausian, your persuasion, this is the message Time is of especially when you're countin' your blessings Lessons learned from the deepest of pain, not a game my name outta your mouth and I'ma keep it the same, ya dig?

in the heart of man (Somewhere, within, somewhere) There a time when he must understand (When he understand) The strong withstand, the will fall (The strong withstand, the weak fall) 'Cause tomorrow may not at all ('Cause may not come at all)

Yo, it's all gon' come out in the wash, the lost With wings, bullets ricochet off my halo I lay low for no one, I my life Ain't afraid of no hard and sacrifice Was born twice through the of my seed Makin' sure he see a of life, I was never able to see

Somewhere in the of man (Somewhere, within, somewhere) There comes a time he must understand (When he understand) The strong withstand, the will fall (The strong withstand, the weak fall) tomorrow may not come at all ('Cause tomorrow may not at all)
Somewhere in the of man (Somewhere, within, somewhere) comes a time when he must understand (When he understand) The withstand, the weak will fall (The strong withstand, the weak fall) 'Cause may not come at all ('Cause may not come at all)
