We stuck in this lifestyle of workin' a 9 to 5
And they steady tryna tell us we lucky to be alive
But be careful 'fore you know it, another 365
Is goin down the drain wasted, this a word from the wise
Take my advice, follow your heart and play it smart
Time is of the essence and it never restarts
When you say it its said, and when you do it its done
And where you go in this life does not depend where you from
Reach into your heart, and try to master your art
Be as great as you wanna; Can't no one tell you ya not
Go as far as you can, reach for that numba' one spot
People gonna take shots, and try to f** up ya plot
But they just hate us cuz we are what they not
I be like Edison my mind illuminated like a trillion watts
I'm comin' in and k**in' on the spot
h*mocide this ya murda' plot, you just an afterthought
And greedy motha' f**as' laugh it off
But meanwhile i'm locked up for an ounce of pot
And all my brothas in tha cell for sendin' shots, they out here k**in cops, thats why I stay up in my spot, come from a place where you can't play up after dark, and dirty cops be knockin shooters off the block
