2pac - One Day At A Time (Remix) lyrics

[Song perfomed by 2Pac] [Verse 1] Sometimes it's hard to wake up in the morning Mind full of demons, I don't wanna hear 'em anymore Got me heartbroken, fine, so many babies screaming Cause they seeing destruction before they a see human being So they start smoking weed, we'll never get our day Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shape Cause they all broke & why do ghetto birds die? Before we learn to fly, somebody else's child caught in guns smoke We can all make a change So I'm told but I haven't seen the change unfold I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe Communities in need of people that will lead Keep your eyes open I can only say I'll try Until the day I die.... [machinegun shots/Sirens] Until the day I die..... [verse 2] Though half our problems can be based on economical greed A dying breed, addicted to weed to get G's With my heart open, greed brings only misery A way to tragedy, so I stay s**er free Only a few chosen rise, my ghetto queens, rise Don't be afraid to try, too many of us die For the door to open wide, my brothers be wise Stay focused on the prize, though everybody dies We continue growing, one day at a time We continue growing, one day at a time... [gunshots] [verse 3] Cause all I see is terror I hate the man in the mirror Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer Times of Armageddeon, murder in ma** amounts In this society where only gettin the cash counts I started out as a beginner Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner I make my money and vacate, evade prison Went from the chosen one to outcast, unforgiven And all the Hennessy and weed can't hide, the pain I feel inside You know, it's like I'm livin just to die I fall on my knees and beg for mercy, not knowing if I'm worthy Living life thinking no man can hurt me... We continue growing, one day at a time... We continue growing, one day at a time... We continue growing, one day at a time...
