The Ill-Breed - The Only lyrics

The Only (Strange) I'm not the only one who lives like this I"m not the only one who has a life f**ed up like this I keep living my life, day to day, struggling Wondering how long it's gonna be this way Cause I have very little left in my life to be proud of But I'm hoping one day that'll stop Cause in the beginning I kept sinning Yeah that's right, I was a villan A hoodlum, nothing but a gutter punk So you better watch out when I get krunk Cause money is what drives me and pain is what feeds me So I live with agony and it compels me To do great things, see what life brings But you wanna bring me down and make sure that I always frown But I don't f** around, so if you don't like my sound You can just turn around or i'll put you on the ground Everybody always wants something but they'll never have nothing I do what I gotta do to get what I gotta get And I never fail and I'm telling all these tales Causing a revolution so follow the trail Chorus: I'm not the only - one with a problem Wondering how I got 'em I'm just an ill-breed - will I always be this way? I don't know but probably (Malachi) You ever been in a situation that has you there thinking And even though you ain't moving. inside your mind you're f**ing pacing? Contemplating everything and every possible outcome To every decision you may make, anything you could have done Cause sometime's it's so hard it seems it's the way it's gotta be And you've already tried for so long to do the right thing But there was never any fruit that ever came from that seed You're just another statistic, a product of your home city And I'm telling you what, no matter where you're at or where you're from It's the same wherever you go cause the whole country is f**ed From the ghetto in Maryland outside of D.C All the way down south in Knoxville Tennessee So it don't really matter if you can get away From wherever you're from cause it'll just stay the same Chorus: I'm not the only - one with a problem Wondering how I got 'em I'm just an ill-breed - will I always be this way? I don't know but probably (Strange) You can't tell me that you've never felt this way The way it feels when life crushes in everyday When you feel the struggle coming up right at you When you feel like there was no one even there for you Have you ever wondered why events unfold Like a story that's already been told Do we have influence over our lives Or are we like bees in planet sized hives? Playing the roles we're supposed to play Never able to live our lives day to day Cause events always push me back to the pad and pen And when I start to drift away from my dream again I sometimes wonder if life's blips and blunders Happen for a reason and not to just tear us under Or is it fate for me to live this way? I ponder on this everyday Is it chance or circumstance? I wish I knew in advance So I could stop fighting the flow and go in the direction I'm supposed to go Chorus: I'm not the only - one with a problem Wondering how I got 'em I'm just an ill-breed - will I always be this way? I don't know but probably (Malachi) So now here I sit like always just thinking bout sh** Maybe what I'm going threw doesn't have to be like this Maybe I can get a leg up with my rap game And maybe, just maybe everyone will know my name And maybe it doesn't have to just be a dream Maybe I can finally make it a reality And maybe when they hear me they'll show me nothing but love For who I am today, not because of who I was but Then again maybe everyone will hate me Maybe that's the reason I ain't had no luck lately And maybe this ain't me, this f**ing rap sh** Maybe I'll never write a number one hit So maybe after I rap this, I'll just call it quits Maybe I don't know, maybe people feel the sh** I spit Chorus: I'm not the only - one with a problem Wondering how I got 'em I'm just an ill-breed - will I always be this way? I don't know but probably (2X)
