In life, we struggle as individuals A fine line between a cliché saying it's something original As if in death, we left something residual Behind a mark, our time up in this pitiful existence And I'm a man of many issues, if I ever diss you No disrespect, I never wish to hold a grudge The stress made me act like this The day I get it off my chest, I work my tracks like this But I'll be bitter on them when it was done And it's forgotten, cause it's easier to sit and complain Than fix a problem, but the power of speech endowers our beliefs With our defeat, man, nothing is out of reach Got plenty to answer for, all I'll do is answer back Done a thousand things I regret, apologise for none of that So you get back what you put in, no regret And keep on until they know you sweat You only get one chance, so I live for the moment I'm just one man, what I wouldn't give for this moment We got one world, still we take it as stride In this one life, we stand still waiting to die We get one chance, so I live for the moment I'm just one man, what I wouldn't give for this moment We got one world, still we take it as stride In this one life, we stand still waiting to die Now breathe in Now if life is what you make it, it's time to build Man I'm for real, ain't no telling what this life will yield I'm a career man, cause I'll career off any path That wouldn't lead me to a start, a financial gain's obscured We learn from our mistakes, that makes for your scholar on Being a walkie talking fact, I've found a better man For being wrong, I'm humble and loyal My friendships are honoured and man's success ain't Measured by the depths of his pocket Don't give good advice but never follow it What's left for me, I'm a hypocrite And if I win I'll be a success story, view this wide world Through a narrow gaze, these harrowed days See too many men end in a shallow grave I guess it's better to have loved than to lost And never stumbled across the gift of knowing you Whatever the f*** you cost I've brought it in perspective and under my vision This world is superficial, I'm done with others opinions We get one chance, so I live for the moment I'm just one man, what I wouldn't give for this moment We got one world, still we take it as stride And this one life, we stand still waiting to die We get one chance, so I live for the moment I'm just one man, what I wouldn't give for this moment We got one world, still we take it as stride And this one life, we stand still waiting to die Now breathe out Now breathe in
