[Intro 1]
[F]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
Ain't [F]a damn
thing promised to ya,
Except [Am]living your life and dying [F]one day,
I'm just being honest to ya,
It take a whole lot just to get a [Am]little,
Getting caught up in the [F]middle,
The answer to life riddles
never come that easy,
But it [Am]was easy to lead me,
[F]But it wasn't easy to see me,
Get up off the block to the [Am]TV,
And sell a couple [F]million
CD's, best believe me,
You see these calluses on my soul,
[Am]Couldn't let hate and
[F]paralysis take control,
I pick you up when you're down
till I can't no more,
[Am]My name sting in your [F]mouth
like canker sores,
Been at war my whole life,
sleepless [Am]nights, endless fights,
But [F]still cant walk to the light,
Cuz my work ain't finished on
earth, for what [Am]it's worth,
From the cradle to the [F]Hurst,

[Verse 2]
God and family first, for real
[F]Somewhere in the heart of [Am]man,
[F](somewhere within, somewhere)
There comes a time when he must understand,
[Am](whe[F]n he must understand)
The strong withstand, the weak will [Am]fall,
(The strong withstand, the weak will [F]fall)
Cuz tomorrow may not come at [Am]all
(tomorrow may [F]not come at all)
Life ain't long it's more like a [Am]snap shot,

[Verse 3]
You can have [F]the top I live for the hop,
Never take a day I'm breathing
on this planet for gran[Am]ted,
Time for change, time [F]for growth,
peace, understandin',
See when niggaz keep forcing my
hand, disturbing [Am]my plans,
Bringing out the soldier in
a [F]peaceful man,
It's like trying to build a house on
sand; you'll never [Am]get a solid foundation,
[F]One man can change the nation,
Yo I put that on all creation,
Haitian, [Am]Jamaican, African, [F]Asian, Caucasian,
Indian whatever your persuasion,
This [Am]is the message: time
is of essence,
[F]Especially when you're counting
your blessings,
Lessons learned from the
deepest of pain,
Its not [Am]a game, keep my name out of your mouth
and [F]Im'ma keep it the same, ya dig,
It's a shame, graduated to the [Am]rap game only to find o[F]ut
crack and rap was the same thing, damn
Somewhere in the heart of [Am]man,

[Verse 4]
[F](somewhere within, somewhere)
There comes a time when he must understand,
[Am](whe[F]n he must understand)
The strong withstand, the weak will [Am]fall,
(The strong with[F]stand, the weak will fall)
Cuz tomorrow may not come at [Am]all
(tomorrow may not come [F]at all)
Who got skill, who [Am]got

[Verse 5]
hussle,
Who got their fam[F]ily with them,
who pay for their muscle,
Yo, it's all gonna come out in the wash,
the lost [Am]angel,
With dirty wings,
[F]bullets ricochet off my halo,
I lay low for no one, I love my [Am]life,
Ain't afraid of no [F]hard
work and sacrifice,
Was born twice through
the life of my seed,
Making [Am]sure he see a side of life
I was never [F]able to see,
Hitting home like ground zero,
Move [Am]over now, peace to the [F]real heroes,
still underground,
I put it down for the homies that can
[Am]t, that's hard in the paint,
I'm [F]living proof its never
too late to be straight,
Once in a while I go back to the main [Am]strip,
And see the [F]same niggaz still
doing the same shit,
And all I can do is increase the flow,
[Am]Put it out, let it soak [F]in and hope they grow,

[Verse 6]
C'mon
[F]Somewhere in the heart of [Am]man,
(somewhere within, somewhere)
There [F]comes a time when he must understand,
[Am](whe[F]n he must understand)
The strong withstand, the weak will [Am]fall,
(The strong withstand, [F]the [Am]weak will fall)[F]
Cuz tomorrow may not come at [Am]all
[F](tomorrow may not [Am]come at [F]all)
Somewhere in the heart of [Am]man,

[Verse 7]
(somewhere within, somewhere)
There [F]comes a time when he must under[Am]stand,
[F](when he must understand)
The strong withstand, the weak will [Am]fall,
(The strong withstand, the weak will [F]fall)
Cuz tomorrow may not come at [Am]all ([F]tomorrow may
[Am]not [F]come[Am] at all)
