Now tell me where I gotta go from here Do I change my life? Left the alarm clock ringin, wearin that pillow like its part of my image Let my dreams live about four or five minutes more Hey send me an angel Tell her to give me the strength that I need to go on Commutin' through this AM traffic The road is unclear through the radio static No manual for life, so I stay in automatic Dead end job got me livin on front street Day to day relying on the bread like lunch meat Is this the life that I worked so hard for? Now is this debt really worth this armoire Or this plasma, or this foreign car? I don’t know, it’s the game I play Live day by day, let me say my grace So please let me say my grace We look for the American dream They show us our lives on a 20 inch screen Baby girl, life ain’t everything it seems The heart is where the home is And you wonder why we wander like the homeless? Shit they say you should’ve been a lawyer But eighty grand in school loans could’ve been avoided If you’da told the universe what you really wanted, but… Close your eyes for a moment, maybe you can see They say that heaven is a place on earth So please don’t cry, let’s try to wash the pain in those eyes Baby look up, look up, up to the sky (So when we gonn fly?) I know it’s hard, we don’t know what tomorrow brings Today is for us So baby look up Yeah, this is how we live when we don’t let nobody tell us how we live And everything I am, no longer measured by the things I had The things I had…So can I live my path? This is the verse of a lifetime, the realest shit I ever wrote This is what disturbs me at night time, no sleep bright and early when the light shines Picture that like a Nikon, 4 minutes Can I save the world with the right rhyme? The story of a generation Had goals for the finish line, but never made it, uh Old dreams, the good die young This hateful world never took my love away, away I know its hard for ya, honey Dropped out of school to work hard for the money Daddy out of work, now you gotta pay the mortgage Just a few months before the bank forecloses Now your money stuck like the change in the sofa Just the other day, you were thinking bout diplomas You were thinking bout diplomas Now I know you need a shoulder, funny how lack of time can make you feel older But I guess that’s life, nuthin left but to make things right I know the stars seem far from your window But its only so far if you think so They say that heaven is a place on earth So please don’t cry, let’s try to wash the pain in those eyes Baby look up, look up, up to the sky (So when we gonn fly?) I know it’s hard, we don’t know what tomorrow brings Today is for us So baby look up Yeah, this is how we live when we don’t let nobody tell us how we live And everything I am, no longer measured by the things I had The things I had…So can I live my path?
