In The Cut

Excuse me now, I hate to bother I know it's late, and I really oughta Be on my way, let you be,be who your gonna be and who your gonna see Okay your face says it all"Don't trifle with" you're ready to brawl Think it's trouble that I just bought Well let's go, throw down. this night, way down in the fall Once in awhile, fate presents us all with a choice to make, you gotta make the call You can choose to be great, ignorant, or full of hate but remember you don't win 'em all So I would dare to say, I walked the line between the two and stood in awe But if given the choice right now, let's face it, Cinderella left the ball Have we met before, I think I remember but I can't recall it all Now I know, u were on the news. The night before last, cuz they cut you loose Was a mistrial right? And the family cried, of that little girl you violently traumatized Where are your homies and brothers? Right now you know I don't play well with others Once in awhile, fate presents us all with a choice to make, you gotta make the call You can choose to be great, ignorant, or full of hate but remember you don't win 'em all So I would dare to say, I walked the line between the two and stood in awe But if given the choice right now, let's face it, Cinderella left the ball Seems like we're in The Land Before Time All your blood sweat and tears & can't make a dime No one ever recognizes you try Seems we're all left to live on these lies In this time of great change as they say Tell me who really reaps the greatness anyway Hustlers, thieves, gangsters and all And where the hell does grace befall? Murders, rapists, molesters and others Are being set free cuz our prisons are cluttered You might to lock in your wife, sister, mother While realizing the fact there's no hope for our daughters So I say it's high time we unite And for once, bring them the fight Maybe everyone will finally do right And what will succeed? This wonderful thing called life! Once in awhile, fate presents us all with a choice to make, you gotta make the call You can choose to be great, ignorant, or full of hate but remember you don't win 'em all So I would dare to say, I walked the line between the two and stood in awe But if given the choice right now, let's face it, Cinderella left the ball.
