As It Was

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cashmere the PRO] Four legs in the morning, two in the noon Three at night, 'til we lay and dream of our doom In a box, with just enough for leave in the room But now, I'm going in circles just spinning When nothing really matters just winning And if you ain't doing that then you just sinning With no purpose Feelin' so worthless Empty handed searches For priceless moments I've been told I can't purchase No matter how much we amasses, the wounds last us Through these turns on its axis or the sun passes There's still masters, monarchs and fascists And we just captives of these cretins stuck in a labyrinth Tryin' to avoid the bull But it's unavoidable So your cries for help are inaudible Those at the top make you think there's more to view Say you can't buy it, what they mean; it's unaffordable When the cash don't seem so reliable Don't mean as much when your ends ain't justifiable Figure we all gon' be liable Cause we all wanna make it, and it worst we all try to [Hook: Raheem Jamal] For every first time, there is a last time Let's make it worthwhile, come on it's haftime We movin' too fast, need a time out Got a dope beat, now spit those rhymes out (repeat) [Verse 2: Mr. SOS] Wake up in the morning got the yearning for dough But how to get it isn't vivid so not sure where to go Try to live up to the potential that I know that I have But there's so many obstacles in my path Child support set so high it's like I work fulltime time to pay it And take home less than what it costs for me to make it to work That's why when they call me famous it hurts Cause I feel like I'm trapped between a hard place & the dirt Sometimes I feel like maybe I'm cursed But I've made it through worse So I try to keep pushin' like a lady givin' birth Radio rap talkin bout hustle hard But it ain't easy when you're workin' a regular job I wish that there were more hours in the day Ain't that what they always say? Makes more sense when you feel like time is slippin away God, give me a sign to show me times are different today Pictures of my kids take the stress away Then I think, this is great How one smile or one laugh Can change my whole perspective on the way I see the glass From half empty to have full But when I finally have a sip to quench my thirst I'mma be brand new [Hook: Raheem Jamal] For every first time, there is a last time Let's make it worthwhile, come on it's haftime We movin' too fast, need a time out Got a dope beat, now spit those rhymes out For every first time, there is a last time Let's make it worthwhile, come on it's haftime We movin' too fast, need a time out [Mr. SOS] See a bright light, it's time to climb out
