mastered by Face-One. This is, unfortunately, the only copy of this track I still own.

lyrics

it's like i can't run
i can't light a way
hide behind a fire in my mind i ignite each day
with the lies i find myself tryna reside beside,
i cannot buy you the time, fine.
i'll sit here by the pipelines
admire the spiral, i'm blind
style the shine in my eye
study the violence
watch listen and hear why they're fighting
let 'em feel real, violet smiles and kindness
finally find divine vision
in wine and tight rhythm
i've decided to pick up the tiny pieces
and five pillars
and the twelves jewels
tryna find heaven while i'm sitting here in hell cool
calm and collected
errors all are corrected
on the last day,
need to grab the mic 'cause i'm past late
i'll speak with no lying
if you love life
you need to live like you're dying

we gotta start looking at the hands on the time we been given
if this is all we got then we gotta thinking that
every second counts on a clock that's ticking
we need to live like we're dying
we only got 86,400 seconds in the day
to turn it all around or to throw it all away
gotta tell 'em while we got the chance to say
we need to live like we're dying

you never know which fate might come to pass
you might be flowing in a race then you're stuck in last
you might be pulling for a change when you're struck and gassed
you'll have been rolling okay till that sudden crash
it's something wack but you really won't let go?
run back to the past? no question, yo
just bask in the moment you in
focus and think -
nothing ever is as broke as it seems
there's only peace in my head
though i ain't know how i'm gon' pick up these pieces again
just keep moving. we so blessed
we bleed from our wounds but at least we ain't dead
i'm a priest with the pen
i got faith and i paid for the price, take advice
you'll be pleased with you plans
if you live like today's the last day of your life
