Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Live?
- I've been burning the candle at both ends for a week
- drowning in substances that make it difficult to speak
- on the inside, I'm tryna pull my pull myself out of this pit
- telling myself that i should appreciate the life that I live
- but it's hard
- when i turn on the tv station
- I see children die at schools in every state in the nation
- and the state of the nation is deteriorating like the market
- I'm scared one day my kids may not have a dad to walk with
- I'm not saying that I plan on dying young
- I'm just saying That I could because of stupid shit I've done
- Of stupid shit I've seen
- people dying every day
- it may be a bullet or cancer to take the one's you love away
- I've had a branch on my family tree fall to the ground
- because he couldn't take the pain of having nobody around
- I've seen good men turn evil at the click of a mouse
- telling 16 year olds to bring a condom to his house
- (hook)
- we've got 76 years to live a life that is average
- 600,000 hours to see a chance grab it
- 912 months until the average life is done
- all these numbers add up but the most important is the 1
- one
- one life
- one shot
- better make sure you give it everything you got
- everybody's asking for a little more time
- but we've only got one life so I'm gonna live mine
- So What the fuck
- We've got brothers killing brothers
- people fighting wars who said their last goodbye to mother
- Judges who are sending innocents to their death
- and 15 year old kids with cigarettes on their breath
- we're judging people on the color of skin
- even after 9/11 and the shit that we've all been
- through
- we're part of one race
- it's not track and field
- It don't matter if your black or white
- I hate to see my people killed.
- So what's the point?
- of getting up out of bed
- if theres a chance that if you do you might get shot in the head?
- walking down the street I see children without homes
- freezing in the snow without a sweatshirt or a coat
- I saw my friend die in front of my eyes
- It showed me time is numbered and made me contemplate life
- so how do we do it?
- how do we go on?
- I think you'll find the answer in the third verse of this song
- Ok. I'm done with all the negatives
- time to take a look at all the things that make us wanna live
- we've got people curing
