The final hour is coming at hand
  We gotta stand with a grain of sand
  Through the hourglass of lies & deceit
  And at our feet the door defeat
  Which we kick down with the powerful aggression
  Only with my people do I have fat session
  So burn one for me
  Now if I can't make it
  Believe in me and your hand I would shake it
  Up and down with the utmost respect
  Any other way you better hit the deck
  Because the sun keeps shining
  I keep rhyming
  To the top of the ladder, yeah I keep climbing
  Til I reach my peak, I'll never plateau
  This ones for the people that came out to the shows
  Slow it down, yes if I can't make it
  Believe in us cuz you know we're gonna take it
    When will I ever see,
  That face looking back at me
  We spend our time alone, don't you know
  It's getting hard to breathe
    2:30 in the morning & I'm strung out again
  I'm all alone sleeping in the Lion's den
  Well it's the miracle, lyrical, words I compose
  And it's a hard knock life
  but it's the one that we chose
  So I paid my dues, I took the time that it takes
  Freestyle separates the truths from the fakes
  And that's the breaks
  It takes time to get your game
  25 years I'm finally breaking out the frame
  And out the frame so simple and plain
  Reminisce the place from where we came
  Went through so many phases
  That it amazes me so
  From single to Double A
  And now we're playing the Pro's
  Touring in the van thinking these are the days
  Having nationwide dreams,
  tour busses, and getting paid
  So we're thinking while we're drinking
  about the choices we made
  And the road that we paved for,
  love that needs to stay
    When will I ever see,
  That face looking back at me
  We spend our time alone, don't you know
  It's getting hard to breathe
    And all the memories I look back on
  Still accomplish nothing at all
  And all the dreams & happiness
  Were shared between a man
  And his woman of gold
    No longer can I touch your
  Face again will I ever be
  Able to feel your skin from under:
    Neath the ground I reach out
  I try to pull you in
  But over & over again
  I swear I see that face
  Looking back at me again
