| [00:11.85] |
I told the world one day I would pay it back |
| [00:13.78] |
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it so that one day I could play it back |
| [00:17.34] |
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm sayin' that |
| [00:19.84] |
Doubts startin' to creep in, everyday it's just so grey and black |
| [00:23.02] |
Hope, I just need a ray of that, cause no one sees my vision |
| [00:25.77] |
When I play it for 'em, they just say it's wack, they don't know what **** is |
| [00:29.02] |
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this |
| [00:31.14] |
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest |
| [00:34.02] |
You picked me up, breathed new life in me, I owe my life to you |
| [00:36.83] |
But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do |
| [00:39.78] |
But it just dawned on me you lost a son, demons fighting you, it's dark |
| [00:42.47] |
Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you |
| [00:45.28] |
I don't think you realise what you mean to me, not the slightest clue |
| [00:48.15] |
Cause me and you were like a crew, I was like your sidekick |
| [00:50.77] |
You gon either wanna fight me when I get off this ******' mic |
| [00:53.59] |
Or you gon' hug me, but I'm outta options, there's nothin' else I can do cause |
| [00:56.96] |
Waiting for the end to come |
| [01:01.02] |
Wi*******ng I had strength to stand |
| [01:06.76] |
This is not what I had planned |
| [01:12.15] |
It's out of my control |
| [01:19.70] |
Flying at the speed of light |
| [01:23.70] |
Thoughts were spinning in my head |
| [01:29.07] |
So many things were left unsaid |
| [01:34.69] |
It's hard to let you go |
| [01:42.82] |
I know what it takes to move on |
| [01:48.38] |
I know how it feels to lie |
| [01:54.12] |
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new |
| [01:59.02] |
Holding on to what I haven't got |
| [02:05.47] |
It hurts when I see you struggle, you come to me with ideas |
| [02:08.15] |
You say they're just pieces, so I'm puzzled, cause the *******t I hear is crazy |
| [02:11.08] |
But you're either gettin' lazy or you don't believe in you no more |
| [02:14.33] |
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form |
| [02:16.71] |
Can't make a decision you keep questionin' yourself |
| [02:19.08] |
Second guessin' and it's almost like your beggin' for my help |
| [02:22.04] |
Like I'm your leader, you're supposed to ******' be my mentor |
| [02:24.98] |
I can endure no more I demand you remember who you are |
| [02:27.85] |
It was YOU, who believed in me when everyone was tellin' |
| [02:29.97] |
You don't sign me, everyone at the ******' label, let's tell the truth |
| [02:33.60] |
You risked your career for me, I know it as well as you |
| [02:36.41] |
Nobody wanted to ****** with the white boy, Dre, I'm cryin' in this booth |
| [02:39.35] |
You saved my life, now maybe it's my turn to save yours |
| [02:41.92] |
But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more |
| [02:44.79] |
But I ain't givin' up faith and you ain't givin' up on me |
| [02:47.54] |
Get up Dre I'm dyin', I need you, come back for ******'s sake |
| [02:50.60] |
I know what it takes to move on |
| [02:56.22] |
I know how it feels to lie |
| [03:01.91] |
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new |
| [03:06.78] |
Holding on to what I haven't got |
| [03:12.96] |
Yo yo what was that when I thought it was done? |
| [03:15.21] |
I thought it felt right, but the right was wrong |
| [03:18.03] |
All caught up in the eye of the storm |
| [03:20.84] |
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on |
| [03:23.79] |
And I don't even know what kind of things I said |
| [03:26.53] |
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead |
| [03:29.31] |
So picking up the pieces now where to begin |
| [03:32.18] |
The hardest part of that is starting again |
| [03:47.39] |
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new |
| [03:52.02] |
Holding on to what I haven't got |
| [03:58.39] |
This is not the end, this is not the beginning |
| [04:00.27] |
Just a voice like a riot rocking every remission |
| [04:02.96] |
Once you listen to the tone in a violent rhythm |
| [04:05.64] |
And all the words sound steady, so nobody forget 'em |
| [04:08.64] |
Say yeah with fists flying up in the air |
| [04:11.40] |
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there |
| [04:14.09] |
Cuz we're living at the mercy of the painted riviere |
| [04:16.96] |
Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear |
