ONE TIME!

(One time)
To the lessons that you gave me
(Two times)
To the road you started paving
(Three times)
To the love there's no replacing
(Four times)
To my niggas I'm done waiting I said
(One time)
To the life that you gave me
(Two times)
To the life you started saving
(Three times)
To the game there's no replacing
(Four times)
To the reason there's no breaking
I've been shaken from the world that's on my back but ain't no fold
We played these cards the way they dealt
You told me, better watch my hands and watch these sins
But in the end I lost you dog and that's the truth
If I could simply bring you back I wouldn't
Hesitate to move and that's the truth
(One time)
I've been trying to resurrect you in this booth
(Two times)
You always told me I should move without a noose
(Three times)
I tell 'em most of my strength it came from you
(Four times)
It came from Proof, this nothing new
(One time)
And I've been trying to find new meaning in this life
(Two times)
They press record I put my soul up on this mic
(Three times)
Game six said this mic is my life
(Four times)
This my life
You told me never lose my sight, even if I go blind
Be the best, even if I was a hustler with grime
Blow your mind the way we elevate in time
Then we shine, then we back up on the countdown
Reason to these rhymes like
(One time)
Told me better get your mind right
(Two times)
Told me better clear your whole sight
(Three times)
How do we climb if we scared of height
(Four times)
How do we live if we scared of life
(One time)
You ain't die, you gon' live through me
(Two times)
Uncle Chinning got weed and the Hennessy
(Three times)
I got the vision and the remedy
(Four times)
I call it preparation let me breathe
I reminisce on the things I call bygone
If Heaven got a ghetto then I'm trying to reach Zion
I reminisce on the things I call bygone
If Heaven got a ghetto then I'm trying to reach Zion
