Only Prayer!

I just wanna shine before my time fade away I just wanna shine before my time fade away I been working so hard I been working so hard I don't wanna say it's all for nothing I just wanna shine before my time fade away I been working on my dreams Trying to bring, trying to bring it to reality But life getting the best of me Mama said go to work, go to college Late nights I get high and think about it But it just ain't me Trying to make me into something I can't be And I can't be a slave no I can't be it Stuck up in the matrix and they don't see it I can't be a slave no I can't be it They stuck up in the matrix and they don't see it I just wanna shine before my time fade away I just wanna shine before my time fade away I been working so hard I been working so hard I don't wanna say it's all for nothing I just wanna shine before my time fade away She just don't get Why live like this No fear take risk And I just live with no regrets A nigga like me should've been dead I just sit back and I replay it I just sit back and I replay it But ain't no other life that I want instead And I get faded thru the night with all my homies there And every time I talk to god this my only prayer I just wanna shine lord Please don't say I waste my time lord I just wanna shine before my time fade away I just wanna shine before my time fade away I been working so hard I been working so hard I don't wanna say it's all for nothing I just wanna shine before my time fade away
