Ain't a thing promised to ya livin' your life, and dyin' one day, I'm just bein' honest to ya It a whole lot, just to get a little Gettin' caught up in the middle the answer to life's Never, come that easy, but it was To lead me, but it easy 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? Couldn't let hate and paralysis, take I pick you up when you down 'til I no mo' My name's sting in your like canker sores Been at war my life, sleepless nights Endless fights, but can't walk to the light 'Cause my work ain't on earth, for what it's worth the cradle to the hearse, God and family first, for real
Somewhere in the of man (Somewhere, within, somewhere) There comes a time when he must (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)
Life ain't long, it's like a snapshot You can have the top, I for the hop Never a day I'm breathin' on this planet for granted Time for change, for growth, peace understandin' See but niggaz keep forcin' my hand, my plans out the soldier in a peaceful man It's like to build a house on sand, you never get A foundation, one man can change the nation

Somewhere in the of man (Somewhere, within, somewhere) There a time when he must understand (When he understand) The withstand, the weak will fall (The strong withstand, the weak fall) 'Cause tomorrow may not at all ('Cause may not come at all)
Who got Who got hustle? Who got they family 'em? Who pay for they muscle? Yo, it's all gon' come out in the wash, the lost dirty wings, bullets ricochet off my halo I lay low for no one, I love my Ain't afraid of no hard work and Was born twice through the of my seed Makin' he see a side of life, I was never able to see
home like 'ground zero', move over now Peace to the heroes, still underground I put it down for the homies that came that's hard in the I'm livin' proof it's never to late, you Once in a while I go to the main strip And see the same niggaz still doin' the shit And all I can do is the flow Put it out, let it soak in, and hope grow, c'mon
in the heart of man (Somewhere, within, somewhere) There a time when he must understand (When he understand) The withstand, the weak will fall (The strong withstand, the will fall) 'Cause tomorrow may not at all ('Cause tomorrow may not at all)
