Sometimes it's hard to wake up in the mornin'Mind full of demons, I don't wanna hear 'em anymoreGot me heartbroken, fine, so many babies screamin''Cause they seein' destruction before they a see human bein'So they start smokin' weed, we'll never get our dayUntil we learn to pray, keep our families in shape'Cause they all broke an' why do ghetto birds die?Before we learn to fly, somebody else's child caught in gunsSmokin' weed can all make a changeSo I'm told but I haven't seen the change unfoldI keep hopin' please, if you prefer to breatheCommunities in need of people that will leadKeep your eyes open now, can only say I'll tryUntil the day I die, I promise to be wiseWith my heart open, greed brings only miseryA way to tragedy, so I stay sucker freeOnly a few chosen rise, my ghetto queens, riseDon't be afraid to try, too many of us dieLetras de cancionesFor the door to open wide, my brothers be wiseStay focused on the prize, though everybody diesWe can only learn to take our anger an' our hateControl our mental state, settle down an' just set it straightMaybe we can learn to take a second to pump our brakes'For we said it, regret it later an' let it escalate'Cause by then it's too just late, there's so much we can takeAnd there's only so much someone can swallow an' tolerateUp to the point that he just breaks, snaps an' that's all it takesYou'd think that we was learnin' from other rappers mistakesBut we ain'tIt's plain to go against, with every artists comes the imageHe portrays an' a picture that he paintsBut in the midst of all this anger an' this angstNever once did you hear me say I'm a gangsterAn' I ain't hear no complaintsBut I know that I will always continue to growAs long as I lead an' never follow no one else's shadowThere will never be another me an' that I can guaranteeThat's why the fuck I remain sucker freeTo this day the game will never be the sameNo matter how much fame or success they attainThere will never be another me an' no matter what they doThere will never be another youYou can search but you'll never findYou can try to rewind timeBut in your hearts an' your minds, we will never dieWe are forever alive an' we continue growin' one day at a timeDon't be caught in the publicity an' caught in the hypeRappers are regular people minus money an' lightSearchin' for fortune an' fame an' super stardomAll the jewelry, all the cars, whose crew is the hardestNow the hip hop police, the villains is watchin'An' kids think beef is they only optionOutlaws born filthy, guilty as chargedMy memories could die but Makaveli lives onYou think the industry is fun an' no pity with gunsAn' when your money is up, that's when your enemies comeSo if he died an' came back, would he try to save rap?We needin' a change, the drama remainsI spent my whole life fightin' myselfThat I can't win, so I'm invitin' some helpAn' every now an' then I take rights from the leftI'm still just like a kid lookin' for stripes on my beltAn' that there is a fight in itselfSo I just pray an' hope God take a like to myselfNo matter how much, I try stay aliveI'm gonna die mad, still standin' there in love with my prideMy heart frivolous beats, we past thatI'm tryin' to keep some income comin' in an' collect on my ass capThe rappers in the game ain't changedAn' I finally realized that we not in the same gameThe hatin' will never end, so I guess I'll deal wit itThem 4 5 with cop killers, just some steel wit itThe streets is military, you gotta be a soldierGotta stay leery an' keep your eyes on the rollersThey do what they gotta do to shackle an' hold usSo we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rollin'One way at a time, keep the faith in your mindAn' we continue growin' one day at a time, damn
