Spice 1 - One Day at a Time lyrics

[Intro: Spice 1 Talking] Ohhh, you a fool Spice 1, LP, 2Pac, doin' it like that Takin' it one day at a time Stayin' Headstrong, you know Cause life is way to hard Let them know 'Pac [2Pac] Sometimes it's hard Wake up in the mornin' mind full of demons I don't want to hear them anymore Got me heartbroken, find, so many babies screamin' Cause they seeing destruction before they see a human being (That's right) so they start smokin' weed From every ghetto day, until we learn to pray Keep our families in shape cause they all broke And why, do ghetto birds die? Before we learn to fly Somebody else's child flauntin' gun smokin' And we, can all make it change or so I'm told But I haven't seen a change unfold I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe.. Communities in need, or people that believe Keep your eyes open, I, Can only say I'll try Until the day I die I promise to be wise with my heart open greed Brings only misery, a way to tragedy So I stay s**er free Only a few chosen rise My ghetto queen, rise don't be afraid to try To many others die before the door to open wise My brothers be wise, stay focused on the prize Though everybody dies we continue growin' One day at a time [Chorus: Headstrong] It is hard to maintain In this world of mine We got to take one day at a time [LP] Nobody said it would be easy for me to succeed But I'm in need So they got me slaggin' sacks of dirt weed, Indeed.. I disagree but tell me what are my choices Hearin' voices, I'm tryin' to live large like Rolls Royce's Options are limited, they got me fillin' up d** They got me dealin' And money they got me stealin' it Life expectancy ain't even 20 years Even my peers live in fear of over here on my side We live and die by who-ride Genocide, Crack pipes and yet you say it alright But it's.. all wrong this ain't another sad song Just a voice from the strong What really goes on? You ain't knowin' you ain't gotta live it to survive All you do is turn to channel 5 and catch it live Runnin' high until the smoke clears in the sky Relaxation on vacation, watching my brothers die Tell me why? [Chorus: Headstrong] It is hard to maintain In this world of mine (One day at a time) We got to take one day at a time (One day at a time) (That's right) It is hard to maintain In this world of mine (One day at a time) We got to take it one day at a time Ohhh [Break: Spice 1 Talking] You know what I'm saying? We got to take this one day at a time, you feel me? Time don't stop for nobody Don't move faster, don't move slower It's just be movin' alright [Spice 1] I got a Devil upon my shoulder, and an angel upon other And if I die please ask to lord take care of my mother And my sister and my daughter Mean the world to me My daddy left me this year When '97 got here And I ain't cried like that Since I was a six year old youngster Apart of me departed from earth Now he's amongst the ghetto heavens above Show love when I see them Just keep thuggin' and strugglin' Til my maker say I should meet him Catchin' cases with pistols Tryin' to protect what's mine Just wanna feed my two kids Stay alive at the same time It's a cold, cold world Where we all gotta live in it Til the man turns out the lights on us all And then we finished [Chorus: Headstrong] It's hard to maintain (So hard...) In this world of mine We got to take one day at a time [Outro: Spice 1] It's all about maintainin, you know Gotta get yours I can't even fake it man That's what it's all about Just maintainin' Take your time Sit back, think about what you're doing You know what I'm saying? Before you make them moves Talk to the man upstairs Don't do nothin' with out You know Maintain partner One day at a time Peace
