I write rhyme to pass the time
and let my mind unwind
Staying focused on the goal
never lagging behind
Don't want the glamour
or the glitz
but we all want shine
And for the money and the fame
see us standing in line
We all want just to
get a little recognition
Stepping up some we can be
amongst the competition
Reloading up treating words
like they ammunition
Growing up
thinking back to all them
things we missing
I listen more because back
then I didn't pay attention
The industry be telling
lies like a politician
Learning lessons
separate the fact from fiction
Subtract the negative
sort of like a mathematician
Another mission
making moves in and out of binds
Making moves
staying focused
before we're out of time
And even when it seem I'm slipping
it's still on my mind
At the bottom of the ladder
so we gotta climb
Give me 1 for the DJ
give me 2 for the mic
My love my life
everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Give me 1 for tomorrow
and 2 for tonight
My love my life
everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Big up to graffiti writers
paint on wall inspires
Thinking back to them
trains I seen as a minor
Thinking back to them days
it seem way more brighter
Thinking back to them nights
when this would take us higher
Admiring the writer
DJ and the breaker too
Block party
hope the DJ play a break or two
At the party dreaming
all them things I wanna do
Looking at my life
all my dreams are coming true
Looking at my life
years later but I'm focused
Giving strength to them
ones that be feeling hopeless
Giving strength to myself
sometimes I feel the same
I watch the rain
water wash away the deepest pain
Music is the blame
hip hop call it by it's name
Brought us together
still together even as it change
It's like my ball and chain
maybe like a wedding ring
To you I'm dedicated
even went and changed my name
Give me 1 for the DJ
give me 2 for the mic
My love my life
everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Give me 1 for tomorrow
and 2 for tonight
My love my life
everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
When will it be my chance
when will it be my turn
I wanna touch the sky
before I crash and burn
I wanna live without regrets
I wanna make it happen
I wanna make them
dance and nod
I wanna keep them
clapping And thru a song
I wanna turn a cry
into some laughing
We laugh and giggle like
we used to back
when we was little
The world is mine until I pass
or till I lose my mind
The world is mine
and I ain't never gonna let it go
Even though sometime
it seem like it don't want me here
I hold on to the memories
and then they keep me here
One with the kick and snare
and plus the melody
Murder the track
now I'm guilty of a felony
This is the better me
they ain't get the best of me
Working hard making moves
changed my destiny
Working hard having fun
music's my heart
Never turning back
hip hop I loved you from the start
Give me 1 for the DJ
give me 2 for the mic
My love my life
everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Give me 1 for tomorrow
and 2 for tonight
My love my life
everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Give me 1 for the DJ
give me 2 for the mic
My love my life
everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Give me 1 for tomorrow
and 2 for tonight
My love my life
everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
Everything a be alright
