Tupac with Eminem One Day at A Time (Em's Version) (Feat. the Outlawz) Lyrics

feat. Eminem, Outlawz
[2Pac]
Sometimes its hard, to wake up in the morning
Mind full of demons I don't wanna hear them anymore
Got me heartbroken, fine, so many babies screamin'
Cuz they seein destruction before they see a human bein
So they start smoking, we will never get our day
Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shake
Cuz they all broken, why do ghetto birds die
Before we learn to fly, somebody else should try
c___ing guns, smoking, we can all make a change
So I'm told but I haven't seen a change unfold
I'll keep hopin please, if you prefer to breathe
Communities in need, of people that will lead
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
Away the tragedy, so I stay sucker free
Only a few chosen rise, my ghetto queens rise
Don't be afraid to try, too many of us die
Before they daughter open wise, my brother's speak wise
Stay focused on the prize, though everybody dies

[Eminem]
We can only learn to take, our anger and our hate
Control our mental stakes, settle down and set it straight
Maybe we can learn to take a second to pump the brakes
Before we said it, regret it later and let it escalate
Cuz by then its just too late, there's so much we can take
And there's only so much someone can swallow and tolerate
To the point that he just brakes, snaps, and its all it takes
You think that we was learnin from other rappers mistakes
But we ain't, its plain to go against,
With every artist comes the image he portrays and the picture that he paints
But in the mist of all this anger and this angst
Never once did you heard me say I'm a gangster and I aint hear any complaints
But I know, that I will always continue to grow
As long as I lead, and never follow no one else's shadow
There will never be another me, and that I can guarantee
That's why the f___ I remain sucker free
To this day, the game, will never be the same

No matter how much fame and success they attain
There will never be another me
And no matter what they do, there will never be another you
You can search but you'll never find
You can try to rewind time, but in your hearts and your minds
We will never die, we are forever alive

[2Pac]-And we continue growin, one day at a time

[Outlawz]
Don't get caught in the publicity and caught in the hype
Rappers are regular people minus money ya like
Seachin for fortune and fame and superstardom
All the jury, all the calls, who grouse is harder
There's not a hip-hop police, the villains is watchin
And the kids think beef, is they only option
Outlawz born filthy, guilty as charged
My memories took a die, my Macaveli lives on
You think the industry is fun, and no pity with guns
And when your money is up, that's when your enemies come
So if he die, and came back, would he try to save rap?
We needing a change, the drama remains the same

I spend my whole life, (yeah) fightin myself
That I cant win, so I'm invitin some help
And hey now then, I take rights and no lefts
I'm still, just like a kid, lookin for stripes on my belt
Yeah, that there is a fight in itself
So I just pray and hope God, take a light to myself
No matter how much I try, stay alive, I'm a die a man
Still standin there in love my pride

My heart frivolous beats, we passed that
I'm tryin to keep ???? keep comin and collect all my a__ cap
The rappers in the game ain't change
And I finally realize that we not in the same game
The hatin' will never end, so I guess I'll deal with it
Them .45's will pop killa's, yes I'm still with it
The streets is military, you gotta be a soldier
Gotta stay leery, and keep yo eyes on the rollers
They do what they gotta do to shock them and hold us
So we gotta do what we gotta do to keep rollin
One way at a time, keep the faith in your mind

[2Pac]-And we continue growin, one day at a time
