Intro: Tom Hardy: It's a beautiful church. They did ma** right John Ortiz: Why don't you take communion? Tom Hardy: Excuse me? John Ortiz: I've seen you at ma** for years. You haven't taken communion once Tom Hardy: Yeah well, that's my business John Ortiz: You think so, huh? Tom Hardy: Yeah I think so Verse 1: If it's a business, I beg forgiveness for all the sinners The clock strikes winter as I walk to the windows At the black-tie affair on some Soprano sh**, somebody hit the guy behind the guy And I'm out of luck cause I'm involved in it This was supposed to be a celebration of unity... Rewrote this speech from a dedication to eulogy Shouldn't be new to me, custom fits and j**elry We roll up and exchange like 20 grand up out the duty-free Not how this used to be, we used to have some nice flows And trife hoes in tight clothes, but I guess that's how this life goes Living for our survival as the night glows Illuminated by the traffic lights and all the light posts From Breaking Bad, to break-beats, avoiding how today seems A lot of us want the same thing; To make cream to handle what every day brings Lead us not unto temptation in this day dream And keep your promise that you'll wake me HOOK: In this life we live, we got our pride. We choose sides For you and I, we do it live, until we die Living like it was the last time we all dine Bread is the body of Christ. Pa** the wine Verse 2: I hold rosaries, look over me, there's no one in sight Do you sell your soul for gold, or are you rolling with Christ? It's colder than ice on nights you sleep while holding on mic's In this life we live, this living's just a roll of the dice Many crap out and act out their vision through words And written through verse, but the outcome's just kids in a hearse Given the first of the year, my resolution's rebirth If living ain't worse than dying, I've been given a curse I've risen from dirt in my own grave, enslaved in my ways I try to take it day by day, but now I'm losing my faith
It's true there's a gate to heaven, but I was 8 minutes late I was sent to purgatory, now they're saving my place Saint Peter said for me to stand in line behind Christ But I descended back to Earth, so I can rhyme for my life And fight for what's right, while living this, what's one to do? It lies in the book of Leviticus, 21:22 HOOK: In this life we live, we got our pride. We choose sides For you and I, we do it live, until we die Living like it was the last time we all dine Bread is the body of Christ. Pa** the wine Verse 3: It's all about determination and holding your own. I've grown From a broken home. Alone but I just keep on like a Rolling Stone When I'm blind I find my sights, in mind I shine my light My sights set on a goal, holding up in this fight No holding back on this track. React. We lack the option to lose What's a muse when I'm through with the Rubik's Cube Was lost, then found, tossing down the opposition Got across around my neck, God christened a Christian Hot days and cold nights despite the fight We give it up not live it up survive in this life like... I'm living my life and things have changed No rings, no chains, not trying to get the keys to the Range It's simple and plain, I quench my thirst and drink from the rain I sat on the bench first, then learned to hit the three from long-range My enemies tempt me, sent me and I'm running on empty I've been summoned. Now the hunters becomes the hunted HOOK: In this life we live, we got our pride. We choose sides For you and I, we do it live, until we die Living like it was the last time we all dine Bread is the body of Christ. Pa** the wine Outro: John Ortiz: There's bodies getting clipped, or vanishing all over the place man. Come on man. You didn't see anything? Tom Hardy: Nah...you know that's...that's this neighborhood. But he could turn up...people do, all the time John Ortiz: That's true... No one ever sees you coming
