From day to day I know that I'm in all of your conversations You never have anything good to say about me That's ok cause everyone's entitled to their own opinions Cause everyone's a critic, and even on your best days Someone's got something bad to say- Yet I ignore the things I hear, ignore the things I fear And look past all that tries to bring me down And I know that I don't have much I Sacrifice a good life while I watch these bills keep adding Up and I know that I'm not getting any younger as another Year passes by I have to stop and wonder If it's all really worth the struggle Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel Will get any brighter Or will it just fade away the closer I get , the harder it seems From reaching my dreams And I just don't know how much more I can Take before I give up and throw it all away- [Hook] When push comes to shove You gotta hold on , you gotta be strong And look for that light from above Cause everyone's out to bring you down And if you can't keep your head up Then your lost- I've seen better days been told better ways How to live and how to give, it's relative I walk with sedatives it's hell I live And home is sweet, I'm killing myself softly My reflections show deep infections It's hard to be, I look at myself, I look at this life And all I feel is pain, god help me start again I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on pushin' cause I Some how some way keep comin' up short Like everyday my minds playin' tricks on me Everybody loves sunny days but I prefer Grey ones and long nights because when the Day comes, it's just another 24 and I'm still numb Not so young I know what it takes, they say Roll with the brakes and slip them ties with the fakes I still get them shakes just thinkin' bout this Ish right here two dub two maybe this gonna be That year [Bridge] Everyone has to pay a price no matter what we sacrifice I hope it's worth it nothing is for certain |

Some call me a loser
Some call me a cheater Some say I'm a selfish untalented dreamer Cause all's I try to do is keep my dream alive But it's so hard to do when your working 9 to 5 I've never been one afraid to die But I'm afraid to leave behind The precious life that grows through the sands of time Cause for my son and daughter I know they need their father To help them make it through all of the devious things that people do Cause every moment counts from the good times to the bad I don't have time to envy those that got things I've never had Cause the one thing most important is the one we take for granted And until your life is on that line I think it's the way god had planned it To open up your eyes and make you realize That to some life is money But what's money without life Cause all's I need is the air that I breathe And my friends and family to believe in me As deep as the abyss where the waters run As deep as the land of the rising sun You know I'm down And even when the odds are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters As deep as the abyss where the waters run As deep as the land of the rising sun You know I'm down And even when the odds are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters We bleed the same blood We cry the same tears We have the same fears We pass the same years We see the same stars Under the same skies We pass the same time We all live and die Cause friends and family wash thicker than blood And if ya never felt love than I feel for you Cuz lives pass above us in 747's Deceased dwell below us Before they go to heaven Deep like seven leagues life intrigues intelligence Got no time for clutter, your late if there's hesitance Put your foot forward and there will be a helping hand Take a step back and your stuck in the quick sand Ingesting toxins keeps us locked in, a mental jail trap 2002 where's your family at Oh, and I might fail Oh, I might succeed Whatever the outcome is Just keep your faith in me Just believe in me And I will be there As deep as the abyss where the waters run As deep as the land of the rising sun You know I'm down And even when the odds are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters As deep as the abyss where the waters run As deep as the land of the rising sun You know I'm down And even when the odds are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters As deep as the abyss where the waters run As deep as the land of the rising sun You know I'm down And even when the odds are against us It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters |

Can you remember
How you use to jab your fingers into my chest And tell me how stupid you thought I was And how I'd grow up to be worthless- I was only 9 and I can recall every single time- You raised your hand to me No matter how hard I try to forget I can't erase it from my memory To this day you seem to think that You never did anything wrong And even though I've tried to look past your Ignorance The hate was too strong And you were to blind to see how much anger Was growing inside of me And everything revolved around you Do what you say Do what you want Do as you do As the years passed I never knew what was to come Cause you were never there But the day will come When we'll cross paths This time I'll be there to let you know that All I ever wanted was was for you to believe in me And everyday I prayed for, lived the day for Was a chance to throw it back in your face- [Hook] And before you die, open your eyes And see, all the different ways that you neglected me You may have gave me life but you never gave me hope I don't ever want to take after my own Father God help me raise up outta this mess Stress and grey days and a gang full of tests God help me, god help me You put the fear in me and said if I wasn't to be everything you expected then a son I'm not in your eye's and would be instantly rejected- Your gifts of love were just fifths of pain While I tried to maintain and refrain You just laughed at me, you looked down on me, you threw down on me, You made me feel worthless now you're dead to me, how does it feel to be, What runs through you created me, one day I'll break free- All I ever wanted was for you to believe in me And everyday I prayed for, lived the day for Was a chance to throw it back in your face [Bridge] Why do I have to feel like I'm constantly worthless Every day I'm reminded of you, Father |

I got a fist full of dollars and a one track mind
I gotta find what I'm looking for in the dead of night 3rd and 4e buildings to the sky I've got one last chance to get high to get high New York City might be the place to be If your game is tight and if your green takes flight Take another chance on the place that don't sleep Creep on the sidewalks listen as she sleeps I'm back and I'm down for whatever Tribe Called Quest is in the CD player Trik Turner bill boards in Time Square No west coast G's just east coast players Strike up a Newport sippin on my import gotta get that buzz For them clubs that be what I see Ok MCs in my pathway better make room I'm divin' deep into the groove I said I'm back in the New York Groove It's been a long time since I got down Been a long time since I got down baby So take a look around it ain't nothing nice If your caught slippin' just another Day in the life of that New York living Where fast times makes for fast ways In and out with the latest craze It takes more than the average to amaze The typical New Yorker can make you Or break you either way it changes you To something that you thought you'd never be From rags to riches or riches to rags Everyone plays a part you can see on The faces of places and things that you've Never seen it's all about the dollar dream Owning millions have a penthouse in the tallest Buildings I'm going all the way forget what The critics say its all about them royalties If you don't like it then suck on these! I said I'm back in the New York Groove I said I'm back in the New York Groove! Pull up the 6 4 and open the door We got models galore never seen us before We swoop about ten and pick up a friend We sticken shorties that kid prince Taught me naughty this click is chillin Yo we top billin' New York Groove is how we livin' I said I'm back in the New York Groove! I said I'm back in the New York Groove! |

I'm sitting here waiting for my lover
Last time we met I wasn't to sure Now I'm hoping, maybe dreaming, for a life as one When she reads this I'm hoping she'll call But I need much more than before I need positive reactions whenever I'm down Cause I'm sure so sure That it's heaven knocking on my door Sure so sure so baby come on inside Need you so much more and more each time we touch Sure so sure that it's sweet love I found It isn't a game so don't play hard to get (Tired of running after you) There's no connections holding us down (down) Isn't it a shame it never happened Though still here we are the second time round It's gotta be social, compatible, sexual, irresistible It's gotta be right for love Sure so sure That it's heaven knocking on my door Sure so sure so baby come on inside Need you so much more and more each time we touch Sure so sure that it's sweet love I found Holdin', squeezin', touchin', teasin' Wantin', wishin', waitin', teasin' Of you love, yeah yeah Blindin', groovin', feel it, move it Findin', breathin', brakin', breedin' With you girl It's gotta be social, compatible, sexual, irresistible It's gotta be right for love Cause I'm sure so sure That it's heaven knocking on my door Sure so sure so baby come on inside Need you so much more and more each time we touch Sure so sure that it's sweet love I found ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By BOWERS, DAVID/MOORE, DOUG/FAULKNER, STEVE <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |
