It was the end of the year, yeah

How I made it 52 weeks that'll never be clear

But I'm here and I'm breathin, bruises have healed from the beatings

Still getting used to the feeling

Of proving the things I believe in

Like using my mic and my mind for removing the ceiling

Revealing a movement of people who dreamin

And fightin for peace so they can't be defeated

My reason is blind if you follow my meaning

Tongue is hip hop and it's what completes him

Fiending left to avoid the deamons

Keep in step or destroy the sequence

Wherever your hearts at be reppin it right

Sometimes the hard times are the best in your life

And it's like I'm a danger to closed minds

December 31st definition of showtime





Hot for eleven and one months

They talk for a year and I setup with one punch

Which sums up all I wanna live life for

Opposed to the war but I know what I fight for





So many trapped in the loop like a sample

I learned you're unlikely to lose if you gamble

Our chances increase with the cards that we handle

You making excuses or make an example

Now I smoked and I drank and was broke and I'm blanking an ocean

Of pain and I hope that I sang 'til I fall from my spot

And I clawed to the top

Of my soul and I'm scared that I'll fall if I drop

But the forces of nature are forcing the haters

To hide from the hail, I rain on parades'

Retreat in the charts like a table in Vegas

Cash in, cash out - and they're out - see ya later

They faceless. I'm lookin in your eyes for ages

Married to the beat now I sign the papers

Ain't no unfaithful behavior

It ain't the days but the years that make ya









We ain't gonna let them drag this one down

We ain't gonna let them drag this one down

We ain't gonna let them drag this one down
