Verse 1 

When you're weary and tired 
would I lend you my lighter? 
would I tell you good-by or would I defend you through 
fire? 
would I carry your weight, 
or say have it your way? 
just panic and say: "I know it's tragic but hey.. 
I'm generating my money, they aint taking my money" 
cus people who share usually get mistaken for dummies 
in the age of greed, the age of need mother earth 
screwed and we're setting the rapist free 
but I refuse to think 
people are selfish the people I choose to spend time 
with are selfless 
lot of people got dealt with, 
a poor set of cards a poor number of jobs 
so now numbers a starve 
I hate to look in the mirror 
cus the image is blurry and I'm too busy to worry 
so I live in a hurry so if you think of it really 
I'm both rich and a crook 
cus I eat everyday and still bitch in my hook. 

Chorus 

I go for mine 
and you go for yours 
but I won't survive if you don't support 
if I close my eyes and you close your door 
then hate multiplies and we lose it all. 
I look in the mirror, 
trying to see a better man 
a better man, a better man (be, be) a better man, (be, 
be) a better man 

Verse 2 

War's religion driven, of course we thinking different 
we're lost, we're killing children in the name of 
I'd put family first, so if my family's hurt 
and worse come to worse, I'd go to jail, done. 
so there I go, I got me a problem dropping a bomb on 
Bin Laden's not gonna stop it evolving 
lost souls speaking chat-room morse-code 
but life's a too long road to walk alone though 
no man is an island, I'll be damned if I'm lying 
I aint planning to die alone, I'm planning to grow 
and still I had to burn some bridges cus somehow it 
seems that the devil learned my digits 
I try to make the best with 
what I was blessed with 
karma's a bitch and I feel her breath on my neck kid 
the way I lived my life is not that righteous 
had to be on the dark to recognize the light when 

Chorus (x2)

I go for mine 
and you go for yours 
but I won't survive if you don't support 
if I close my eyes and you close your door 
then hate multiplies and we lose it all. 
I look in the mirror, 
trying to see a better man 
a better man, a better man (be, be) a better man, (be, 
be) a better man
