It's do or die It's me against the world Time, you're never going to take me alive Gonna to find another way to survive (Hey) It's just me against the world Set in stone right now It's only a matter of time You're never going to take me alive Gonna to

To my neighborhood I said, "Goodbye, so long", to my, my neighborhood 'Cause I'll always, always come back And I know, I know I'll see you again (I'll see you again) My neighborhood (my neighborhood) I left my mother feelin' sick in a bedroom My daddy

There's nothing to say now The feelings are already dead (they're dead) And I don't believe there's a way now All that is said has been said (been said) I'm waiting for another day, another way I don't believe that you can make all the pain go away So
