It's time to get on it I just give a fuck if you honest With yourself and do what you promised Man fuck all the obstacles, we'll reach the top of the crop, if we do it the longest Sometimes it's not rocket science You just gotta work in the silence How many times can you cry How many times can you lie How many lives can you live till you understand everybody gotta die How many times can you cry How many times can you lie How many lives can you live till you understand everybody gotta die Uh, uh The reason I'm rapping bout' death, is cause it's the only thing certain Most of you don't even search, you just do what you're told like your life got no purpose Man open your eyes, waking up to new days is a blessing not muhfuckin burden Let go of this pain that you're feeling, I know it ain't easy, but you gotta curb it The greatest of people were born in the darkness and made it thru hell, jumping hurdles It's time that you take the baton and start making a world that's your own frikking version See you can be happy without all the fame and the money, don't need it, for progress I wish I could show you the path, but I'm on it myself, and the journey to heaven and finding your truth It's a personal process How many times can you cry How many times can you lie How many lives can you live till you understand everybody gotta die How many times can you cry How many times can you lie How many lives can you live till you understand everybody gotta die Uh, uh
