[Verse 2 - Eminem] We can only learn and take Our anger and our hate Control our mental states, settle down and then set this straight Maybe we can learn to take A second to pump our brakes 'fore we said it, regret it later and let it escalate Cause by then it's just too late There's so much we can take And it's only somewhat someone can swallow and tolerate To the point that he just breakes, snappes and that's all it takes You think that we was learnin' from other rappers mistakes, but we ain't It's a grain to go against With every artist comes an image he potrays and a picture that he paints But in the midst of all this anger and this angst Never once did you heard me say "I'm a gangster" and I ain't hear no complaints But I know that I'll always continue to grow Long as I lead an never follow no-one else's shadow There will never be another me And that I can guarantee that's why the fuck I remain sucker free to this day The game will never be the same No matter how much fame and success they attain There'll never be another me And no matter what they do, there will never be another you You can search but you'll never find You can try to rewind time But in your hearts, in your minds we will never die We are forever alive and we continue growin' One Day At a Time [Verse 3 - Young Noble] Don't be caught in the publicity and caught in the hype Rappers are regular people, minus money and life Searchin' for fortune and fame and super-stardom All the jewelery, all the cars, whose crew's the hardest Not a hip hop police - surveillants is watchin' And the kids thinks the beef - is they only option Outlawz born filthy, guilty as charged My memories of Kadaf', my Makaveli lives on You think the industry is fun, ain't no pity with guns And when you money is up, that's when your enemies come So if he died and came back, would he try to save rap We needin' a change, the drama remains the same [Verse 4 - Kastro] I spent my whole life (yeah) fightin' myself That I can win, so I'm invitin' some help And every now and then - I take rights and no lefts I'm still just like a kid, lookin' for stripes on my belt Yeah, that there is a fight in itself So I just prayin' and hope God send a light to myself No matter how much I try (stay alive) I'ma die a man Still standin' in the love of my pride [Verse 5 - Edi] Frevolours beef, we passed that I'm tryin' to keep some income come on in and collect on my ass cap The rappers in the game ain't changed And I finally realized that we're not in the same game The hatin' will never end, so I guess I will deal with it Them 45'er cop killers, yes I'm still with it The streets is military, you gotta be a soldier Gotta stay leery and keep your eyes on the rollers They do what they gotta do, to shackll and hold us So we gotta do what we gotta do to keep growin' I'm on way of the time, keep the faith in your mind And we continue growin' One Day at a Time Damn!
