[Kool G Rap Intro] when will you see there's no way out for you and me it's not a game every f**ing day face to face with adversity it all gets worse for you and me nights are short, days get long i feel my will to fight pa** on and all those around me empty lives surround me they all s** me in they drain all my will to live your walls are closing in you're seeing less of yourself in your own skin what has become of you you feel a change in your mind you feel apart from your kind alone with the truth in the twilight of your youth don't try to count my sins i don't know where to begin so sad and it's so true blew all my wishes on you but now i'm looking back can't believe i played that act my heart was green my eyes were fresh uneasy in my own flesh and we're never going back we'll never see those days again i don't know which way the future will go i don't care any more i just gotta let it go
