Live Your Life

Turn your light on, let the darkness go When it all fall, now it's all I know Turn your light on, let the darkness go Now it's all I know I was heartless from darkness, pain, but I was guided through And I seen it all with these eyes, done things I wasn't proud to do You gotta live, live in your life Turn your light on, let the darkness go You gotta live, live your life When it all fall, now it's all I know I took a step back, to see how far I had come How far I had went, to see if I am too far gone Not in the wrong direction But the road I have chosen If they began their dissection of me F*ck their opinions and their frozen Looks of astonishment, or of envy Go ahead, yeah, let the ol' devil just tempt me I still walk 40 days, 40 nights of being empty If they toss me a second chance to redo Bitch, do not let me Get started, I was heartless, but now I've seen it through I supposed I died, then began to swim; what was I supposed to do Let life drown me in the deep water I'll be damned if I let myself drown me any farther Dropped the bullshit and pulled shit Outa of my head, got out of bed Took the life and began to live it, Dropped the gun and stole the knife And cut the rope of puppeteering That these fuckers had on me Told momma I'm gonna pull through, Cause this is my life I was heartless from darkness, pain, but I was guided through And I seen it all with these eyes, done things I wasn't proud to do You gotta live, live in your life Turn your light on, let the darkness go You gotta live, live your life When it all fall, now it's all I know Ten years of swimming n' ten years of drowning Ten years of dimming the lights n' ten years of frowning Standing upside down like a bat, fate waiting for the crowning Tombstone laid I can see there's another me abounding To me, time to get up, the clock is amounting Strike ten but even then, it's two before twelve Dustin' off the mic on the shelf, get back to myself Old albums begin to be heard New songs begin to burn Through the speakers Time to hang up old n' put on new sneakers Its time to stretch and begin to run, it's five a.m somewhere Somewhere, someone is sleeping while you awake just to get there To get to the top And never stop, Even when the clock stops Workin' your heart goes in overdrive And clock's in, zeros in the bullseye on that target Ten for ten, close them out, I know you're pushing, its hard to get I get you, got one life to live So take it, give it everything and live it I was heartless from darkness, pain, but I was guided through And I've seen it all with these eyes, done things I wasn't proud to do You gotta live, live in your life Turn your light on, let the darkness go You gotta live, live your life When it all falls, now it's all I know Let it go Time.. to let it go
