The final hour is coming at hand
We gotta stand with a grain of sand
Through the hourglass of lies & deceit
And at our feet the door defeat
Which we kick down with the powerful aggression
Only with my people do I have fat session
So burn one for me
Now if I can't make it
Believe in me and your hand I would shake it
Up and down with the utmost respect
Any other way you better hit the deck
Because the sun keeps shining
I keep rhyming
To the top of the ladder, yeah I keep climbing
Til I reach my peak, I'll never plateau
This ones for the people that came out to the shows
Slow it down, yes if I can't make it
Believe in us cuz you know we're gonna take it
When will I ever see,
That face looking back at me
We spend our time alone, don't you know
It's getting hard to breathe
2:30 in the morning & I'm strung out again
I'm all alone sleeping in the Lion's den
Well it's the miracle, lyrical, words I compose
And it's a hard knock life
but it's the one that we chose
So I paid my dues, I took the time that it takes
Freestyle separates the truths from the fakes
And that's the breaks
It takes time to get your game
25 years I'm finally breaking out the frame
And out the frame so simple and plain
Reminisce the place from where we came
Went through so many phases
That it amazes me so
From single to Double A
And now we're playing the Pro's
Touring in the van thinking these are the days
Having nationwide dreams,
tour busses, and getting paid
So we're thinking while we're drinking
about the choices we made
And the road that we paved for,
love that needs to stay
When will I ever see,
That face looking back at me
We spend our time alone, don't you know
It's getting hard to breathe
And all the memories I look back on
Still accomplish nothing at all
And all the dreams & happiness
Were shared between a man
And his woman of gold
No longer can I touch your
Face again will I ever be
Able to feel your skin from under:
Neath the ground I reach out
I try to pull you in
But over & over again
I swear I see that face
Looking back at me again
