Until

Been a cold winter, lookin' forward to a hot summer
Still ridin' 'round bumpin' 'Pac's "Dear Mama"
'Member when the music used to mean more
Give 'em your best, make your hair stand up and heart race in your chest

Talkin' 'bout all the way we were livin'
Put the truth out, maybe then they'd listen'
Cryin' in the streets where we're raised, and the struggle's alive
Gettin' hard to escape, and these are troubles of mine

And know we're trouble sometimes
It's all good, try and follow your dreams
And live life the way you should
I've been havin' visions of a place where there's no more pain
No rich or poor, we equal, no more hate

No more envy calls, everything you want you have
Forever smilin' and we never sad, never sad
Find a path to the studio writin' some rhymes
And take the world on one song at a time

Yeah, until the time come meetin' our creator
Live life to the fullest regardless of the haters
The world full of fakes and some phony imitators
So I'm gon' keep it real 'til time to meet the maker

Until the time come, hope you see the light
'Cause I've been in the darkness, and it ain't nothin' nice
To be alone broken in the world full of lies
Just prayin' that we make it up to Heaven when we die until the time come

I was a victim of a dark mind
As a young man, I fell addicted to the dark side
Wouldn't playin', man, I struggle for my dreams to stay alive
Only watch the hope vanish like a spirit in the sky on the afterlife

Prayin' that their hearts come alive
Though my eyes stay dry, cryin' on the inside
You wonder why pride wouldn't let a tear slide
And gettin' high just make them bad times feel right until I die

Listen to the noises in my head
Try to silence evil voices wonderin' what the Lord says
And if He cares, if He does, why He'd leave us here
And will He not return if He truly holds us dear?

I can see it clear, I've gotta live my life as a soldier
Empowered to help the whole world move closer
Your hour of death will arrive when you breathe in your last
Surrender all right before you pass, believe that

Until the time come meetin' our creator
Live life to the fullest regardless of the haters
The world full of fakes and some phony imitators
So I'm gon' keep it real 'til time to meet the maker

Until the time come, hope you see the light
'Cause I've been in the darkness, and it ain't nothin' nice
To be alone broken in the world full of lies
Just prayin' that we make it up to heaven when we die until the time come
