[xzibit]Aint a damn thing promised to yaExcept livin your life, and dyin one day, Im just bein honest to yaIt take a whole lot, just to get a littleGettin caught up in the middle the answer to lifes riddlesNever, come that easy, but it was easyTo lead me, but it wasnt easy to see meGet up off the block to the tvAnd sell a couple million cds, best believe meYou see these callouses on my soul?Couldnt let hate and paralysis, take controlI pick you up when you down til I cant no moMy name sting in your mouth like canker soresBeen at war my whole life, sleepless nightsEndless fights, but still cant walk to the lightCause my work aint finished on earth, for what its worthFrom 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 aint long, its more like a snapshotYou can have the top, I live for the hopNever take a day Im breathin on this planet for grantedTime for change, time for growth, peace understandinSee but niggaz keep forcin my hand, disturbin my plansBringin out the soldier in a peaceful manIts like tryin to build a house on sand; you never getA solid foundation, one man can change the nationYo I put that on all creation; haitian, jamaicanAfrican, asian, caucausian, indianWhatever your persuasion, this is the messageTime is of essence especially when youre countin your blessingsLessons learned from the deepest of pain, its not a gameKeep my name outta your mouth and ima keep it the same, ya dig?Its a shame, graduated to the rap gameOnly to find out crack and rap was the same thang, damn!![chorus][xzibit]Who got skill? who got hustle?Who got they family with em? who pay for they muscle?Yo its all gon come out in the wash, the lost angelWith dirty wings, bullets ricochet off my haloI lay low for no one, I love my lifeAint afraid of no hard work and sacrificeWas born twice through the life of my seedMakin sure he see a side of life, I was never able to seeHittin home like ground zero, move over nowPeace to the real heroes, still undergroundI put it down for the homies that came thats hard in the paintIm livin proof its never to late, you straightOnce in a while I go back to the main stripAnd see the same niggaz still doin the same shitAnd all I can do is increase the flowPut it out, let it soak in, and hope they grow, cmon[chorus - repeat 2x]
