Intro:
Ya. I never knew what I would be when I grew up. I always thought I'd be a doctor or a lawyer or somethin. You know, just kid dreamin.
Verse 1:
I was told at a young age I never could rap. That I would never be black but I aint ever look back. Now I, murder a track with verbal attack, prefer to refer to the word that I heard in the black, book. God giveth and he taketh away so I'ma live it like I'm dying today. Naw I'm sayin though? Real words in the company of misery you'll never make it out if you're livin in a mystery. Your history is everything that you were made of, if you're livin in the now, hopefully you'll see it later. If you're livin in the past you can never bring it back you could only make it stronger. But if you're following the path then you put it on your back then you'll live a little longer. I was hungry as a baby at my first breath, comin up and hustlin and never would regret that.
Chorus 1:
I live this life as I would only know.
One day at a time one line in a rhyme on an open road.
I would never live back in the past only know how far I've gone.
And if you look me in the eyes you would never wonder why as I show my soul.
Verse 2:
Ya. Never livin in regret. Never would I make a bet that I couldn't write a check for the debt. Never livin for the flesh, I could live with less. Open up my soul and put my troubles to rest, confess. All my anger and duress heavy weighin on my chest as I'm taking a breath. Breath deep, think before you speak. Don't be a thief of all the dreams that they can reach, ya think? Try to open up your mind, leave it all behind, never mind all the evil that you're gonna find. You gotta come up above it, hate it or love it, push it or shove it, you gotta give it time. I got a feelin if you're livin in the moment, you would feel like you were lonely, but it's all in your mind. And if you're holdin onto feelins, you can never really heal it if it's growin inside. That's why.
Chorus 2:
I live this life as I would only know.
One day at a time one line in a rhyme on an open road.
I would never live back in the past only know how far I've gone.
And if you look me in the eyes you would never wonder why as I show my soul.
I live this life as I would only know.
One day at a time one line in a rhyme on an open road.
I would never live back in the past only know how far I've gone.
And if you look me in the eyes you would never wonder why as I show my soul.
