End Of The Road E

Ooh, Yeah. It's a long way home at the end Of the road. I'll be paving my own way to the top. I'll be here to stay. So take my name, remember this face. Keep the change and have a nice day, And live for the moment, not by the past. Homie, live each day like it's your last. All my life, I couldn't fit in like a Bad shoe. I was always too square, Too cubed, too tall, too weird, Too blue. Forget them high school hotties, Now I'm too cool. I guess I came a Long way from that young kid. The school's most popular lame, no friends, No style, no clothes, no ends, just a bed, Fell asleep and never woke up again. Yeah, and my last prayer was don't ever let Me end up like the people that's down here, 'cause the ones that fear change be the ones That don't care. Look at themselves and see somebody Else in the mirror. But you could always pick me out of the Crowd, loud mouth with my very own style. And what I know now is don't ever pretend, And live every single day like you won't see It again. Go. Take my name, remember this face. Keep the change and have a nice day, And live for the moment, not by the past. Homie, live each day like it's your last. And have twenty-four hours and fourteen hundred Minutes before your dream's gone, then you better go Live it. 'Cause whatever you love could be taken Away, so live like it's your dying day. I dedicate this to my teachers that never believed In me and the mother that conceived but ended Up leaving me. I just wish y'all could see Me smile. This big grin's on the TV now. Uh, and I took it from the bottom to The top, from the holes in my socks, ramen Noodles in the pot. Used to rob 'em on The block, now they spot me in a drop. Middle finger up and that ain't gon' stop. I used to take orders and now I make Bets. I used to scrub floors, now I sign Checks. I used to push carts, now I push Songs. Yeah, I used to be there, now I Am so gone. I fired myself, found a job Myself, established my name, then I signed myself. And what I tell myself is you did this By yourself, and when I'm on so long I'll Be by myself. Go. So take my name, remember this face. Keep the change and have a nice day, And live for the moment, not by the past. Homie, live each day like it's your last. And twenty-four hours and fourteen hundred minutes Before your dream's gone, then you better go live It. 'Cause whatever you love could be taken away, So live like it's your dying day. I wish I could see they faces when they Heard your boy spit. Wish I could know what They thinking when they heard my first hit. 'Cause I remember them wishing that I wouldn't get Big. Now I bet they wishing they wouldn't have Said that shit. I came out of a dying City, brought back life. Everything they said I couldn't do I did 'bout Twice. Multiply that by the battles that we popped Each night. That equals out to a celebration, Bitches, more ice. Make a toast to the underdogs, Toast to the team. Toast to the fact we This close to the dream. Pour one for my exes. Used to talk reckless, but now I push Benzes And rock Rolexes. Came from the city, and until they come and Get me, turn around and see the whole east Side still with me. And that's how we live It. Your mans don't change. It's still the kid, still can't tell me a Goddamn thing. So take my name, Remember this face. Keep the change and have a nice day, And live for the moment, not by the past. Homie, live each day like it's your last. Twenty-four hours and fourteen hundred minutes Before your dream's gone, then you better go live It. 'Cause whatever you love could be taken away, So live like it's your dying day. Like it's your dying day. It's long way home at the end of the Road. I'll be paving my own way to the Top. I'll be here to stay. So take my name, remember this face. Keep the change and have a nice day, And live for the moment, not by the past. Homie, live each day like it's your last. Yeah
