[Intro: Raekwon] Ya, ya, ya, come on, man Keep it moving, man This that real official shit, man You know what I'm saying? My name's Shala, man Chillin' with my homegirl, man, Faith, man, what's up? Know what time it is, man G shit all day, man Word up, man Ayo, where the fuckin' Rose at, man? [Verse 1: Faith Evans & (Raekwon)] It's funny how the world just turns around (Turns around and shit, you know?) Everything that goes up, just know that it might be coming down (Coming down, nigga) And nothing new under the sun (Ayo, ain't nothin' ever new, man) Everything's already been done Listen to the words of this song If you're coming from the right place, you could never go wrong (Never go wrong, you know what I'm sayin'?) Life can just pass you by So I just keep my head to the sky, hold it up high [Chorus: Faith Evans & (Raekwon)] What we gotta figure out Is how to just work it out (Yo, you know what it is, man) Nothing's more precious than time (Drop that jewel on 'em, man, for real) I'll tell you what life's about, people gotta work it out Open your mind (Open your mind) To get to the prize (Get to the prize) [Verse 2: Faith Evans & (Raekwon)] Let me tell you something I know (Yeah) You gotta be more careful of the things that you wish for Just like King Midas, I was told (Just like King Midas, as I was told) Everything that glitters and glows (Everything that he touch don't turn to gold) And if you really know how God works (Damn, shit is mean) Anything is possible But you've got to just put Him first He holds the world in His hands I'll understand, it's all in His plans [Chorus: Faith Evans] What we got to figure out Is how to just work it out (Gotta figure out) Nothing's more precious than time (Nothing is more precious than time) Tell what life's about, people gotta work it out Open your mind (Open your mind) To get to the prize (To get to the prize) [Rap: Raekwon] A rolling stone letter from daddy In all the struggles I maintain Refuse to go back between aggie Savvy, grown with a lot of remorse The grind made me define Whatever times we're in, we're lost But keep the love, dear, open your heart I invested it well and now successful and I'm special as hell So many black clouds broke out the day I caught myself Got smoked out, wish I had a moment to sell (Moment to sell) You could be what you wanna Me, I'm just a genius, a go-gunner That's what's real, niggas can't front on My style, my personality, this is my reality Keep it movin', you could do well From the half-steppin', I've been born to regulate and strive Try to stay rich in the heart, stay strong Real niggas repeat it, Faith, drop a bracelet, we need it Shala Shell, peace, we need it [Chorus: Faith Evans] What we got to figure out Is how to just work it out Nothing's more precious than time (Nothing is more precious than time) Tell you what life's about, people gotta work it out Open your mind (Open your mind) To get to the prize (Get to the prize) What we got to figure out Is how to just work it out Nothing's more precious than time Tell you what life's about, people gotta work it out Open your mind (Open your mind) To get to the prize (Get to the prize) [Outro: Faith Evans & Raekwon] You can get to the prize, yeah, woo yeah It's just a hobby that I picked up in the lobby Word up, everything is real Yeah, Chef, Faith, yeah, let's go This is that meanness, it's that raw, for real Love, Wu-Tang forever, and ever, and ever
