[Intro]
You win some, you lose some
But you live, you live to fight another day
You think you a man with a gun in your hand, don't you?
I'm a man without it, put the gun down
[Verse 1: Will BElieve]
Time to question our lifestyle, look how we livin'
The years fly, people die, we just losing our spirits
Was never given the chance to even make a difference
But when them shots rang, bout the only time they hear us
And I get it, but life ain't meant to be like that
Everybody got a past, but we can't turn back
Givin' thanks to what I have, so I'm makin' it last
Only tellin' you the truth, cause that's just part of the plan
I hope you realize, that there's more to life
Take my advice, think twice, before you roll them dice
You could sacrifice it all before the end of the night
When nobody by your side and you asking out why
Looking up to the sky, but all you hear is the wind
Just close your eyes, visualize, and begin to imagine
Of a place, of golden days, when paradise really happened
I can feel it in my soul, I know it's better up in heaven
[Hook]
And I don't know what takes away your pain
Brightens up your day, make bad dreams fade away
Only if I had the words to say, uh, only if I had the words to say
And I don't know if you be feelin' the same
It weighs in on my brain, I know something's gotta change
Cause only if I had the words to say, yeah, only if I had the words to say
[Verse 2: Will BElieve]
I wish I was blind to the facts, so I wouldn't have to rap
They want to see us gone, so hold on to your cap
It's like the rich get it all but they never give it back
Then they wonder why we strapped, wit' our hands on the gat
Wit' a rat-a-tat-tat, and I guess it's just the way it is
We k** each other, but we never know just how we live
Still praying for the day when I get to hold my kids
That's why I'm giving it my all until I reach my end
Hoping the Lord will let me into them Gates
Because this world is so cold, I can't feel my face
Bodies drop everyday, it's like we numb to the pain
And it's the same old thang, so I'm sparking the flame
I known you feel me mayne, it's time to use our voice
Wake up the whole world, it's time to bring the noise
Show 'em you got a choice to know your rights and wrongs
Betta do it while you're living, never know when you'll be gone
[Hook]
And I don't know what takes away your pain
Brightens up your day, make bad dreams fade away
Only if I had the words to say, uh, only if I had the words to say
And I don't know if you be feelin' the same
It weighs in on my brain, I know something's gotta change
Cause only if I had the words to say, yeah, only if I had the words to say
