| [00:08.930] |
Yeah, it’s a long way home at the end of the road |
| [00:15.040] |
I’ll be pavin my own way, to the top, |
| [00:18.310] |
I be here to stay |
| [00:19.730] |
So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day |
| [00:25.090] |
And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s your last |
| [00:30.690] |
All my life, |
| [00:32.130] |
I couldn’t fit in, like a bad shoe |
| [00:34.190] |
I was always too square, too cube, too tall, too weird, too blue |
| [00:39.180] |
Forget them high-school’s hotties now |
| [00:40.960] |
I’m too cool |
| [00:41.880] |
I guess I came a long way from that young kid |
| [00:44.240] |
The school’s most popular lame, no friends, no style, no clothes, no ends |
| [00:49.170] |
Just a bear fell asleep, never woke up again |
| [00:52.100] |
Yeah, and my last prayer was don’t ever let me end up like the people that’s down here |
| [00:57.060] |
Cause the one that fear change be the one that don’t care |
| [00:59.180] |
Look at themselves and see somebody else in the mirror |
| [01:02.600] |
But you can always pick me out of the crowd |
| [01:05.110] |
Loud mouth with my very own style |
| [01:06.870] |
And what I know now is don’t ever pretend |
| [01:10.200] |
And live every single day like you won’t see it again |
| [01:13.440] |
So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day |
| [01:18.770] |
And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s your last |
| [01:23.100] |
And if you only have 24 hours, 1400 minutes before your dreams go |
| [01:26.620] |
Then you better go live it, cause whatever you love could be taken away |
| [01:31.030] |
So live like it’s your dying day |
| [01:33.200] |
I dedicate this to my teachers that never believed in me |
| [01:36.390] |
And the mother that conceived, 'fore ended up leaving me |
| [01:39.660] |
I just wish you all can see me smile, this big’s grin on the tv now |
| [01:44.650] |
And I took it from the bottom to the top |
| [01:46.930] |
From the holes in my socks ramen noodles in the pot |
| [01:49.420] |
Used to rob them on the block, now they stop me in the drop |
| [01:52.070] |
Middle finger up and that ain’t gonna stop |
| [01:54.210] |
I used to take orders, now |
| [01:55.570] |
Now I make bets |
| [01:56.870] |
I used to scrub floors, now |
| [01:58.220] |
Now I sign checks |
| [01:59.360] |
I used to push carts, now |
| [02:00.770] |
Now I push songs |
| [02:02.190] |
I used to be there, now |
| [02:03.290] |
Now I am so gone |
| [02:04.780] |
I found myself, found a job myself |
| [02:07.250] |
I established my name and then |
| [02:08.650] |
I signed myself |
| [02:09.880] |
And when I tell myself, is you did this by yourself |
| [02:13.130] |
And when on so long, |
| [02:14.410] |
I’ll be by myself |
| [02:16.290] |
So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day |
| [02:21.700] |
And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s the last |
| [02:25.810] |
And if you only have 24 hours, 1400 minutes before your dreams go |
| [02:30.110] |
Then you better go live it, cause whatever you love could be taken away |
| [02:33.970] |
So live like it’s your dying day |
| [02:36.050] |
I wish I could see their faces when they heard your boy speak |
| [02:38.670] |
Wish I could know what they’re thinking when they heard my first hit |
| [02:41.340] |
Cause I remember them wishing that |
| [02:42.740] |
I wouldn’t get big |
| [02:43.900] |
Now I bet they’re wishing they wouldn't of said that shit |
| [02:46.650] |
I came out of a dying city brought back life |
| [02:49.140] |
Everything they said |
| [02:49.830] |
I couldn’t do |
| [02:50.490] |
I did about twice |
| [02:51.820] |
Multiplied by the bottles that we popped each night |
| [02:54.290] |
That equals out to a celebration, bitches more ice |
| [02:56.920] |
Make it toast to the underdogs, toast to the team |
| [02:58.700] |
Toast to the fact, we this close to the dream |
| [03:01.920] |
Call one for my exes, used to talk reckless |
| [03:04.950] |
But now I push |
| [03:05.910] |
Benzes and rock |
| [03:07.170] |
RolexesCame from the city and until they come and get me |
| [03:09.980] |
Turn around and see the whole east side’s still with me |
| [03:12.940] |
And that’s how we live it, you mans don’t change |
| [03:15.490] |
Look, instead of keys you still can’t tell me a goddamn thing |
| [03:19.340] |
So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day |
| [03:24.620] |
And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s the last |
| [03:28.970] |
And if you only have 24 hours, 1400 minutes before your dreams go |
| [03:32.960] |
Then you better go live it, cause whatever you love could be taken away |
| [03:36.940] |
So live like it’s a dying day |
| [03:39.610] |
Yeah, it’s a long way home at the end of the road |
| [03:44.930] |
I’ll be pavin my own way, to the top, |
| [03:48.150] |
I be here to stay |
| [03:49.650] |
So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day |
| [03:54.880] |
And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s your last |
