Then and Now

God has taken me for a life of crime Misery and suffering and losing my mind Trying to succeed but I was so very blind There's no material pleasure that can satisfy time Serving my sensed with no hesitation Never even thinking of my situation Been smashed so many times and it made it so clear That I was only living in illusion and fear It's time to advance towards a spiritual state Instead of serving your senses falling victim to fate The strength is there inside you, it's never too late So don't be lead astray by illusion and hate I'm telling you, you gotta believe in him Nothing else can save you, open up your eyes, see the light Hear the truth, nothing else could set you free Be brave, be strong, you can't go wrong Be brave, be strong, you can go on --- Then and Now - Cro-Mags
