Spice 1 - U Gotta Take It (One Day At A Time) (feat. Headstrong, LP, 2Pac) lyrics

Yeah, fool spice 1, LP, 2Pac
Doin' it like that
Takin' it one day at a time
Stayin' Headstrong, you know
Life is way too hard let them know 'Pac:

Sometimes it's hard
Wake up in the mornin' mind full of demons
I don't want to hear them anymore
Got me heartbroken, find
So many babies screamin'
Cause they seeing destruction before they
See a human being
(That's right) so they start smokin' weed
From every ghetto day, until we learn to pray
Keep our families in shape
Cause they all broke
And why, do ghetto birds die?
Before we learn to fly
Somebody else's child flauntin' gun smokin'
And we, can all make it change or so I'm told


But I haven't seen a change unfold
I keep hoping please
If you prefer to breathe
Communities in need, or people that believe
Keep your eyes open, I, Can only say I'll try
Until the day I die
I promise to be wise with my heart open greed
Brings only misery, a way to tragedy
So I stay sucker free only a few chosen rise
My ghetto queen, rise don't be afraid to try
To many others die before the
Door to open wise my brothers be wise
Stay focused on the prize
Though everybody dies we continue growin'
One day at a time

It is hard to maintain in this world of mine
We got to take one day at a time

Nobody said it would be easy
For me to succeed but I'm in need
So they got me slaggin' sacks of dirt weed
Indeed
I disagree but tell me what are my choices
Hearin' voices
I'm tryin' to live large like Rolls Royce's
Options are limited
They got me fillin' up drugs
They got me dealin'
And money they got me stealin' it
Life expectancy ain't even 20 years
Even my peers live in fear of
Over here on my side
We live and die by who-ride
Genocide, Crack pipes and yet
You say it alright but it's all wrong this
Ain't another sad song
Just a voice from the strong
What really goes on?
You ain't knowin' you ain't gotta
Live it to survive
All you do is turn to channel
5 and catch it live
Runnin' high until the smoke
Clears in the sky relaxation on vacation
Watching my brothers die tell me why?

It is hard to maintain
In this world of mine (One day at a time)
We got to take one day at a time
(One day at a time, That's right)
It is hard to maintain
In this world of mine (One day at a time)
We got to take it one day at a time ohhh

You know what I'm saying?
We got to take this one day at a time
You feel me? Time don't stop for nobody
Don't move faster, don't move slower
It's just be movin' alright

I got a Devil upon my shoulder
And an angel upon other
And if I die please ask to
Lord take care of my mother
And my sister and my daughter
Mean the world to me
My daddy left me this year when '97 got here
And I ain't cried like that
Since I was a six year old youngster
Apart of me departed from earth
Now he's amongst the ghetto heavens above
Show love when I see them
Just keep thuggin' and strugglin'
Til my maker say I should meet him
Catchin' cases with pistols
Tryin' to protect what's mine
Just wanna feed my two kids
Stay alive at the same time
It's a cold, cold world
Where we all gotta live in it
Til the man turns out the lights on us all
And then we finished

It's hard to maintain (So hard)
In this world of mine
We got to take one day at a time

It's all about maintainin, you know
Gotta get yours i can't even fake it man
That's what it's all about just maintainin'
Take your time
Sit back, think about what you're doing
You know what I'm saying?
Before you make them moves
Talk to the man upstairs
Don't do nothin' with out you know
Maintain partner one day at a time
Peace
