Heart of Man

歌詞

Ain't a damn thing promised to ya Except living your life and dying one day, I'm just being honest to ya It take a whole lot just to get a little Getting caught up in the middle The answer to life riddles never come that easy But it was easy to lead me, But it wasn't easy to see me Get up off the block to the TV And sell a couple million CD's, best believe me You see these calluses on my soul Couldn't let hate and paralysis take control I pick you up when you're down till I can't no more My name sting in your mouth like canker sores Been at war my whole life, sleepless nights, endless fights But still cant walk to the light 'Cause my work ain't finished on earth, for what it's worth From the cradle to the Hurst, God and family first, for real Somewhere in the heart of man, (somewhere within, somewhere) There comes a time when he must understand, (when he must understand) The strong withstand, the weak will fall, (The strong withstand, the weak will fall) 'Cause tomorrow may not come at all (tomorrow may not come at all) Life ain't long it's more like a snap shot You can have the top I live for the hop Never take a day I'm breathing on this planet for granted Time for change, time for growth, peace, understandin' See when niggaz keep forcing my hand, disturbing my plans Bringing out the soldier in a peaceful man It's like trying to build a house on sandyou'll never get a solid foundation One man can change the nation Yo I put that on all creation Haitian, Jamaican, African, Asian, Caucasian, Indian whatever your persuasion This is the message time is of essence Especially when you're counting your blessings Lessons learned from the deepest of pain Its not a game, keep my name out of your mouth and Im'ma keep it the same, ya dig It's a shame, graduated to the rap game only to find out crack and rap was the same thing, damn Somewhere in the heart of man, (somewhere within, somewhere) There comes a time when he must understand, (when he must understand) The strong withstand, the weak will fall, (The strong withstand, the weak will fall) 'Cause tomorrow may not come at all (tomorrow may not come at all) Who got skill, who got hussle Who got their family with them, who pay for their muscle Yo, it's all gonna come out in the wash, the lost angel With dirty wings, bullets ricochet off my halo I lay low for no one, I love my life Ain't afraid of no hard work and sacrifice Was born twice through the life of my seed Making sure he see a side of life I was never able to see Hitting home like ground zero Move over now, peace to the real heroes, still underground I put it down for the homies that cant, that's hard in the paint I'm living proof its never too late to be straight Once in a while I go back to the main strip And see the same niggaz still doing the same shit And all I can do is increase the flow Put it out, let it soak in and hope they grow, C'mon Somewhere in the heart of man, (somewhere within, somewhere) There comes a time when he must understand, (when he must understand) The strong withstand, the weak will fall, (The strong withstand, the weak will fall) 'Cause tomorrow may not come at all (tomorrow may not come at all) Somewhere in the heart of man, (somewhere within, somewhere) There comes a time when he must understand, (when he must understand) The strong withstand, the weak will fall, (The strong withstand, the weak will fall) 'Cause tomorrow may not come at all (tomorrow may not come at all)
