Xzibit - Heart Of Man lyrics

[Xzibit]

Ain't a damn thing promised to ya

Except livin your life, and dyin one day, I'm just bein honest to ya

It take a whole lot, just to get a little

Gettin caught up in the middle the answer to life's riddles

never, come that easy, but it was easy

to lead me, but it wasn't easy to see me

Get up off the block to the TV

And sell a couple million CD's, best believe me

You see these callouses on my soul?

Couldn't let hate and paralysis, take control

I pick you up when you down 'til I can't no mo'

My name sting in your mouth like canker sores

Been at war my whole life, sleepless nights

Endless fights, but still can't walk to the light

Cause my work ain't finished on earth, for what it's worth

From the cradle to the hearse, God and family first, for real

[Chorus: singer]

Somewhere in the heart of man (somewhere, within, somewhere)

There comes a time when he must understand (when he must understand)

The strong withstand, the weak will fall [repeat]

Cause tomorrow may not come at all [repeat]

[Xzibit]

Life ain't long, it's more like a snapshot

You can have the top, I live for the hop

Never take a day I'm breathin on this planet for granted

Time for change, time for growth, peace understandin

See but niggaz keep forcin my hand, disturbin my plans

Bringin out the soldier in a peaceful man

It's like tryin to build a house on sand; you never get

a solid foundation, one man can change the nation

Yo I put that on all creation; Haitian, Jamaican

African, Asian, Caucausian, Indian

Whatever your persuasion, this is the message

Time is of essence especially when you're countin your blessings

Lessons learned from the deepest of pain, it's not a game

Keep my name outta your mouth and I'ma keep it the same, ya dig?

It's a shame, graduated to the rap game

Only to find out crack and rap was the same thang, damn!!

[Chorus]

[Xzibit]

Who got skill? Who got hustle?

Who got they family with 'em? Who pay for they muscle?

Yo it's all gon' come out in the wash, the lost angel

with dirty wings, bullets ricochet off my halo

I lay low for no one, I love my life

Ain't afraid of no hard work and sacrifice

Was born twice through the life of my seed

Makin sure he see a side of life, I was never able to see

Hittin home like "Ground Zero," move over now

Peace to the real heroes, still underground

I put it down for the homies that came that's hard in the paint

I'm livin proof it's never to late, you straight

Once in a while I go back to the main strip

And see the same niggaz still doin the same shit

And all I can do is increase the flow

Put it out, let it soak in, and hope they grow, c'mon

[Chorus - repeat 2X]
