In My Time

It was a cold morning, gloomy, sun barely shining Figured it was goin' rain today, so I'm in Sit around the house until the thunder storms slacks off Look at my nightstand, and pick the paper back up Nostradamus, I'm reading chapter, after chapter Predictions of the end of world, and after Life, wit no beginning, as the world stops spinning ? a journey that's never ending I glance at my baby boy, I can see this in his eyes The little nigga glad to be alive And as the days go by, I thank god for watching mines Praying that I remained in fire The same man that I was, which starts from the other mind phrase Was it the cash I think my time came For me to venture off into different dimensions The beginning, the ending, of my time [Chorus] What we fail to realize Is that we running outta time Do we ever be born again In my time of dying It's like I'm running outta time Will I ever be born again In my time, I try to stay true steps on the game And if you niggas thinking like me, do the same Which is one minute ya smiling, the next ya start crying Cause we can't accept we born to die And I, ease my edge, and be a nigga to the end But it's more to life then me and my Benz When my mama told to speak to my friends I kinda took that shit to heart So don't fuck up your life, 'fore it starts Some niggas want to be like Mike I'd rather be like Christ (like Christ) So at the end, I'll see bright lights(bright lights) I save a prayer for the fallen soldier's Too many niggas died young, for trying to to hang On the slaim's of our slums And outcome, as mommy neals, sitting on the front row Hoping god will accept your soul The new millennium, and as I sit watch the distance Ships walk the horizon, I'll stare into space while I'm driving And pray for me, all the ends of my sins The beginning, the end, of my time, till I'm born again [Chorus] In my time, I've seen life born, and I been blessed Enough to see life lost, it's just the price life cost And shortly, explain my born, I know I'm born to do it wrong So when I'm gone, life goes on Tell my mother, when she on the front row, hold her head up Shed no tears, and dred those years Smile, and even though my whole life's been a po'ball You did yours, and it's not your fault Tell my grandmother those words too She knows I'm headed to a better place That'll put a smile on my wife's face God's graced the evil spirit that surrounded me And pass me, and anytime it could of had me But when it all went wrong, sung the same ol' song Now it's peace after the storm blew on And ? it's the better life, security for yours and mines What the evil lies, and not so guide In my time, it's been times, I would've stopped and called the quits But I might as well sit until it's over wit Earth to earth, and ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's the lord I trust The territory where I come from, so I guess it'll be when I return No sorrow, it was just my turn And in those, last trumpet sounds, put me down in the ground But I'll probably be at home by now And it's help will change(these helps will be changed) Blinking of a eye, but I don't think I'll get to see that In my time, till I'm born again It's changed, when we born And how we born from woman We born, from the spirit, of life And all our flesh remains And not, by the flesh of man And not by the flesh of man Do not believe that [Chorus]
