2Pac With Eminem Feat. The Outlawz - One Day At A Time lyrics

rate me

Sometimes its hard, to wake up in the morning

Mind full of demons I don't wanna hear them anymore

Got me heartbroken, find so many babies screamin'

'Cause they seein destruction before they see a human bein

So they start smoking, we, will never get our day

Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shape

'Cause they all broken, why do ghetto birds die

Before we learn to fly, somebody else's child caught in gun smoke

And we, can all make a change

So I'm told but I haven't seen a change unfold

I'll keep hopin please, if you prefer to breathe

Communities in need, of people that will lead

Keep your eyes open, I can only say I'll try

Until the day I die, I promise to be wise

With my heart open, greed brings only misery

Away the tragedy, so I stay sucker free

Only a few chosen rise, my ghetto queens rise

Don't be afraid to try, too many of us die

Before they daughter open wise, my brother's speak wise

Stay focused on the prize, though everybody dies

We can only learn to take, our anger and our hate

Control our mental state, settle down and set it straight

Maybe we can learn to take a second to pump the brakes

Before we set it, regret it later and let it escalate

'Cause by then its just too late, there's so much we can take

And there's only so much someone can swallow and tolerate

To the point that he just breaks, snaps, and its all it takes

You think that we was learnin from other rappers mistakes

But we ain't, its plain to go against

With every artist comes the image he portrays and the picture that he paints

But in the mist of all this anger and this angst

Never once did you heard me say I'm a gangster and I aint hear any complaints

But I know, that I will always continue to grow

As long as I lead, and never follow no one else's shadow

There will never be another me, and that I can guarantee

That's why the fuck I remain sucker free

To this day, the game, will never be the same

No matter how much fame and success they attain

There will never be another me

And no matter what they do, there will never be another you

You can search but you'll never find

You can try to rewind time, but in your hearts and your minds

We will never die, we are forever alive

And we continue growin

One day at a time

Don't get caught in the publicity and caught in the hype

Rappers are regular people minus money and life

Seachin for fortune and fame and superstardom

All the jewelry, all the cars, whose crews the hardest

Now the hip-hop police, the villains is watchin

And the kids think beef, is they only option

Outlawz born filthy, guilty as charged

My memories live to die, my Makaveli lives on

You think the industry is fun, they no pity with guns

And when your money is up, that's when your enemies come

So if he died, and came back, would he try to save rap?

We needing a change, the drama remains

I spend my whole life, (yeah) fightin myself

That I cant win, so I'm invitin some help

And hey now then, I take rights and some lefts

I'm still, just like a kid, lookin for stripes on my belt

Yeah, that there is a fight in itself

So I just pray and hope God, take a like to myself

No matter how much I try, stay alive, I'm a die a man

Still standin there in love my pride

My heart fell for this bitch, we passed that

I'm tryin to keep some income comin and collect all my ass cap

The rappers in the game ain't changed

And I finally realize that we not in the same game

The hatin' will never end, so I guess I'll deal with it

Them .45's will pop killa's, yes I'm still with it

The streets is military, you gotta be a soldier

Gotta stay leery, and keep your eyes on the rollers

They do what they gotta do to shackle and hold us

So we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rollin

One way at a time, keep the faith in your mind

Eminem and Outlawz

When we continue growin'

One day at a time

Damn
