The final hour is coming at hand We gotta stand with a grain of sand Through the hourgla** 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
