[ VERSE 1: Don P ]
Let`s see... how should I start?
Where should I begin? Fuck a pen, I`ma spit it straight from the heart
My life been fucked up from the beginnin to the present
My whole damn life been one hard fuckin lesson
Still I take every day as a blessin
The good days and the stressin
And pray one day He`ll answer my questions
Tell me why am I livin if it`s just to die?
When I spread my wings and fly, my nigga, please don`t cry
Cause my time on this earth`s been more like a curse
Everytime I think it`ll get better that`s when shit get worse
Still I thirst for the good life and pray that better days`ll follow
Get what I can get today, man, fuck tomorrow
Another swallow of the green bottle, another hit of the weed
And try not to marinate in my sorrow
But I`m too tired to sleep, I`m too angry to weep
I`m too hungry to eat, man, shit is deep
[ CHORUS: Kim Morgan ]
Live today, born to die
In this hustle got to survive
My only choice is to rise
It`s like I`m runnin out of time
[ VERSE 2: Don P ]
Aiyo my nigga, let me holler at ya
I know sometimes it seems I only pop collar at ya
But I`m just tryina shine, it`s been a long time comin
But I know change gon` come
And even though I got mo` change I know mo` pain gon` come
And for all the sunny days I know mo` rain gon` come
The good and the bad, I take it how it come
When it seems the world`s against me I just close my eyes
Take a hit of the weed, buckle up and ride
Inside I`m feelin scarred, outside I`m lookin hard
They say the only way to fix it is through God
So I get on my knees and pray: Before you take me away
Let me make a better day for Lil D and Mone
Through them my name lives on (that`s my shorties)
Through my name I be remembered when I`m dead and gone
I move on, hustlin in thls life of sin
Till I see my mama, Tupac and Biggie again
[ CHORUS: Kim Morgan ]
Live today, born to die
In this hustle got to survive
My only choice is to rise
It`s like I`m runnin out of time
Gotta keep your head up to the sky
Pretty soon everything`s gonna be alright
I know you feel like givin up sometimes
But you know in this game it`s ride or die
So when this whole world seems to get you down
And you`re feelin all alone cause you`re grown now
Trust in me, child, don`t you weep
Cause you know your time is gonna come around
Live today, born to die
In this hustle got to survive
My only choice is to rise
It`s like I`m runnin out of time
