[Intro]
Yeah
Reality
Behind my eyelids
One minute, one second

[Verse 1]
Yo, it was only yesterday when I woke up
From this dream, vivid visions
When everything seemed to harder or different
The misfit kid followed his heart, decisions
Outcast in my hometown
People talk but never give time to hear you out
That's why I started with this pen and a pad
So I could write down feelings and express
How I'm feeling now
I'm sick of seeing pain, I'm tired of this life
One step forward takes you two from behind
Guilty conscience, Lord take me away
From this lifestyle filled with anger and rage
Suicidal, it's a dangerous game
And happiness will cost hope you got the right change
Living in this day and age, misunderstood
I'm just looking for a path to save
Myself... and nobody else
My inner circle stay beside me like a unit
Not one for talking, get up and prove it
It's a blessing, tell the world quit stressing
You waiting for your shot, they block it like interceptions
We're living in recession, I wouldn't need a letter
To deliver this message
[Chorus]
Days getting dark
Nights getting cold
Got our jackets on while we walk this road
Say what you want but I really don't care
Stuck in the game you can say it's unfair
I see no change
We die for tomorrow but we live for today
If things could be different
If I had one minute

[Verse 2]
Years gone by, seconds getting larger
Love for Brooklyn he got to grow without a father
Gives me the gut feeling inside
Every time I write, I keep a picture beside
I'm so gone
In this black and white world poverty is never far
From any street corner or school
Yet the government say they making right moves
So what's left to do?
Put your middle finger up and them that it's wrong
Come together as one
And you can feel the heartbeat in the song
Said you can feel the heartbeat in the song
If you had, one minute or second
Would you drop down and fall?
Or would you stand up tall?
[Chorus]
Days getting dark
Nights getting cold
Got our jackets on while we walk this road
Say what you want but I really don't care
Stuck in the game you can say it's unfair
I see no change
We die for tomorrow but we live for today
If things could be different
If I had one minute
Or one second
