[VERSE 1: Don P]

Let's see... how should I start?

Where should I begin? Fuck a pen, I'ma spit it straight from the heart

My life been fucked up from the beginnin to the present

My whole damn life been one hard fuckin lesson

Still I take every day as a blessin

The good days and the stressin

And pray one day He'll answer my questions

Tell me why am I livin if it's just to die?

When I spread my wings and fly, my nigga, please don't cry

Cause my time on this earth's been more like a curse

Everytime I think it'll get better that's when shit get worse

Still I thirst for the good life and pray that better days'll follow

Get what I can get today, man, fuck tomorrow

Another swallow of the green bottle, another hit of the weed

And try not to marinate in my sorrow

But I'm too tired to sleep, I'm too angry to weep

I'm too hungry to eat, man, shit is deep



[CHORUS: Kim Morgan]

Live today, born to die

In this hustle got to survive

My only choice is to rise

It's like I'm runnin out of time



[VERSE 2: Don P]

Aiyo my nigga, let me holler at ya

I know sometimes it seems I only pop collar at ya

But I'm just tryina shine, it's been a long time comin

But I know change gon' come

And even though I got mo' change I know mo' pain gon' come

And for all the sunny days I know mo' rain gon' come

The good and the bad, I take it how it come

When it seems the world's against me I just close my eyes

Take a hit of the weed, buckle up and ride

Inside I'm feelin scarred, outside I'm lookin hard

They say the only way to fix it is through God

So I get on my knees and pray: Before you take me away

Let me make a better day for Lil D and Mone

Through them my name lives on (that's my shorties)

Through my name I be remembered when I'm dead and gone

I move on, hustlin in thls life of sin

Till I see my mama, Tupac and Biggie again



[CHORUS: Kim Morgan]

Live today, born to die

In this hustle got to survive

My only choice is to rise

It's like I'm runnin out of time



Gotta keep your head up to the sky

Pretty soon everything's gonna be alright

I know you feel like givin up sometimes

But you know in this game it's ride or die

So when this whole world seems to get you down

And you're feelin all alone cause you're grown now

Trust in me, child, don't you weep

Cause you know your time is gonna come around



Live today, born to die

In this hustle got to survive

My only choice is to rise

It's like I'm runnin out of time
