Yo, wassup, this is Joyner, I'm unable to take your call right now Leave me a brief message and I'll get back to you, peace You know, you really piss me off sometimes I spent all night waiting for you to come home And I've woken up without you I don't

Don't be surprised, I will still rise Oh, ye of so little faith Don't doubt it, don't doubt it And the vultures all start circling They're whispering, you're out of time But still, I rise This is no mistake, no accident When you think the final nail is

These feelings will be gone Does this make me not a man? Now I see the times they change Leaving doesn't seems so strange I am hoping I can find Where to leave my hurt behind All this shit I seem to take All alone I seem to break I have lived the best I

And I said someday I'll get my life straight And she said it's too late What's done is done And I told her someday She said I can't wait 'Cause sometimes someday just never comes She looked me in the eye and said it's over I can't take this heartache

You never know where you'll find it I'm still getting it right This is the life It's all I need! And I'm gonna take my time, yeah This is the life! (Life!) Hold on tight! (Hold on, hold on!) And this is the dream! (Dream!) It's all I need! (Hold on!)

That you like somebody Wanna hold somebody Why can't we keep it on the sweet side See how it feels to take a slow ride Well, you know how it goes When you meet somebody But you just can't stand To think about somebody

I hate and slide To let out what's inside Cause I will panic Sometimes I wish you'd die Full of sorrow And all this hate is bottled up inside I'll take this time Give me some courage Beating me down the (?) sometime

This heavy crown To everyone who said I'd never make it Oh Lord weren't you mistaken You can't always please the crowd But I am still not bowing down It comes and goes around And when it's time, I'll pass it proud But bitch I got it now I'm at the top

Haha, I had to put a time stamp on this, yeah It's my birthday And I'm feeling great I feel great Yeah, fuck it, I'm feeling great 24 today, by the way Came a long way (yeah, I came a long way)

One two three four If you put this scene on a movie screen Is it called a helping hand? If the world gets me Where I'm supposed to be Will I know I've made it then? It's so hard (To the good part?) These things take time
