One Day At A Time Lyrics - 2pac

(2pac) 

Sometimes its hard to wake up in the morning 

Mind full of demons, I don't wanna hear them anymore 

Got me heartbroken, fine, so many babies screaming 

Cause they seeing destruction before they a see human being 

So they start smoking weed, we'll never get our day 

Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shape 

Cause they all broke. and why do ghetto birds die 

Before we learn to fly, some bodies else's child caught in guns 

Smoking weed, can all make a change 

So I'm told, but I haven't seen the change unfold, 

I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe, 

Communities in need of people that will lead 

Keep your eyes open now, can only say I'll try 

Until the day I die, I promise to be wise 

With my heart open free, brings only misery 

A way to tragedy, so I stay sucker free 

Only a few chosen, rise (rise) 

My ghetto queen, rise (rise) 

Don't be afraid to try (try) 

Too many of us died to the door to open wide 

My brother be wise, stay focused on the prize 

Though everybody dies 

We can...

(Eminem) 

Only learn to take, our anger and our hate 

Control our mental state, settle down, and just set it straight 

Maybe we can learn to take a second to pump the brakes 

For we said it, regret it later, and let it escalate 

Cause by then its too just late, theres so much we can take 

Theres only so much someone can swallow and tolerate 

To the point that he just breaks, snaps and thats all it takes 

You'd think that we was learning from other rappers mistakes 

But we aint 

Its plain to go against, with every artists, comes the image he portrays 

And a picture that he paints 

But in the midst of all this anger and this angst 

Never once did you hear me say I'm a gangster and I aint hear no complaints 

But I know, that I will always continue to grow, 

As long as I lead and never follow no one else's shadow 

There will never be another me 

And that I can guarantee 

Thats why the fuck I remain sucker free to this day 

The game will never be the same 

No matter how much fame or success they attain 

There will never be another me 

And no matter what they do 

There will never be another you 

You can search but you'll never find 

You can try to rewind time 

But in your hearts and your minds 

We will never die 

We are forever alive 

And we continue growing...

(Outlawz) 

One day at a time 

Don't be caught in the publicity and caught in the hype 

Rappers are regular people minus money and light 

Searching for fortune and fame, and super stardom 

All the jewelry, all the cars, whose crew is the hardest. 

Now the hip-hop police, the villains is watching 

And kids think beef is the only option 

Outlaws born filthy, guilty as charged 

My memories of him die, but makaveli lives on 

You think the industry is fun 

And no pity with guns 

And when your money is up 

Thats when your enemies come 

So if he died and came back 

Would he try to save rap? 

We needing a change, the drama remains 

I spent my whole life, fighting myself 

That I cant win so I'm inviting some help 

and every now and then I take rights from left 

Im still just like a kid, looking for stripes on my belt 

And that there is a fight in itself 

So I just pray and hope god 

Take a like to myself 

No matter how much I try (stay alive) 

I'm gunna die mad, still standing there in love with my pride 

Heard frivolous beats, we past that 

I'm trying to keep some income coming in 

And collect on my ass cap 

The rappers in the game aint changed 

And I finally realized that we not in the same game 

The hating will never end, so I guess I'll deal wit it 

Them 4-5 with cop killers, just some steel wit it 

The streets is military, you gotta be a soldier 

Gotta stay leery and keep your eyes on the rollers 

As they do what they gotta do to shackle and hold us 

So we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rolling 

One way at a time, keep the faith in your mind 

and we continue growin...

...One day at a time. Damn!
