|
Before I fade to black in the shaded shack, |
|
In a box with handles and my family in back, |
|
I will have achieved my life in leaves, of paper, that kept me safer than hangin with theives. |
|
I've been in the big house, but not for long, |
|
But long enough to know it's hard to make songs, |
|
I played my cards and kept movin along, |
|
Hooked up with Madchild and righted my wrongs, |
|
You don't continue with circles, we generate light, |
|
So three hundred and sixty five days I study and write, |
|
I bloody the mic and will continue to learn, |
|
From the best in the world until the night I burn. |
|
I fought for my turn, you can check my gloves, |
|
We both have inkpads covered with blood and scabs, |
|
I love what I have but I will progress, |
|
And I do every day when I take my first step, |
|
It's all about Breath, when it's done I'm gone, |
|
And death is a pawn in a game on a board of which I'm on. |
|
I've had a sword in my palm from the very first tracks, |
|
That were cut, mastered, and released under battleaxe. |
|
It's nice to know that I've been a part of something reversal, |
|
Camouflage to Consumption. |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Yo it's funny how time flies, |
|
Life has lows and highs, |
|
And that's no surprise. |
|
Come along for the ride, |
|
Can you handle the drive? |
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes. |
|
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise, |
|
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive? |
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes. |
|
[Madchild:] |
|
Before I'm laid to rest, I'ma do my best, |
|
'Cause the biggest death threat is too many regrets. |
|
And I ain't goin out like I wonder what woulda happened, |
|
If I'd never given up, |
|
Kept on rappin. |
|
Been so many years of blood, sweat and tears, |
|
Fears to overcome, so I'ma give it my all, |
|
And when it's last call, |
|
At least there'll be no questioning. |
|
If I fall, I'll know it just wasn't my destiny. |
|
Maybe it's not meant to be, but eventually, |
|
I gaurantee I'll satisfy myself mentally. |
|
I'm sick and tired of the position acquired, |
|
I appreciate it, but I've seen visions in fire. |
|
A premonition, spiritually awaken, |
|
With doses and moments of magic to take in. |
|
We'll keep it movin' and go at it whole-hearted, |
|
Madchild works the hardest to finish what he started. |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Yo it's funny how time flies, |
|
Life has lows and highs, |
|
And that's no surprise. |
|
Come along for the ride, |
|
Can you handle the drive? |
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes. |
|
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise, |
|
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive? |
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes. |
|
[(Madchild) Prevail:] |
|
(There's no time to waste) |
|
We move with grace, |
|
(One life to embrace) |
|
Though it feels like a race, |
|
([Both:] Nameless faces in a dangerous place) |
|
The strange and great, |
|
(Rearrange your taste) |
|
([Both:] From almost nothing, |
|
To almost something) |
|
From noone listening, |
|
(To everybody jumpin) |
|
([Both:] Kings on the mic, we got kings on production, **** fallin off, this is just and introduction) |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Yo it's funny how time flies, |
|
Life has lows and highs, |
|
And that's no surprise. |
|
Come along for the ride, |
|
Can you handle the drive? |
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes. |
|
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise, |
|
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive? |
|
Act on it, 'cause life can flash before your eyes. |
