♪ Perhaps I was addicted to the dark side Somewhere inside my childhood when it's my heart die And even though we both came from the same places The money and the fame made us all change places I couldn't beat through the misery that came to pass The hard times make a true friend afraid to ask For courage, see what you can run to me when you need And I'll never leave, honestly, someone to believe in As you can see, it's a small thing to a truth What could I do? Real homies help you get through And come anew, he'd do the same thing if he could Cause in the hood, true homies make you feel good And after times we'd be actin' up, callin' cops Bringin' a cease to the peace that was on my block I never stopped when my momma asked me will I change I tell her yeah, but it's clear I'll always be the same Until the end of time Take these broken wings I need your hands to come and heal me once again Until the end of time So I can fly Till the end of time Take these broken wings Please Lord forgive me for my life I sent My heart stands, seem to scare all my sister's kids So you know, I don't hang around the house much This whole night, money-makin' got me outta touch ***, ain't flashed a smile in a long while An unexpected birth, worse of the ghetto childs My attitude got me walkin' solo Ride all alone in my Lola Watchin' the whole world move in slow-mo But quiet times disappear, listen to the ocean Smokin', pour a stick, my thoughts, then it's back to toastin' Who can I trust in this cold world? My phony homie had a baby by my old girl But I ain't trippin', I'm a player, I ain't sweatin' him I sexed his sister, had her mom be like a Mexican No remorse, it was meant to happen Besides rappin', only thing I did good was scrappin' Until the end of time Take these broken wings I need your hands to come and heal me once again Until the end of time Till the end of time Take these broken wings You got to learn to fly, learn to live so free Until the end of time Till the end of time Take these broken wings Now who's to say if I was right or wrong To live my life as an outlaw all along Remain strong in this planet full of player haters They conversate with death row full of demonstrators And in the end, drinkin' Hennessy Made all my enemies envy me So cold when I flow, eliminating easily Fall to their knees, they plead For their right, they bleed While begging me to keep the peace What I can see, closer to achieve In times of danger, don't freeze Time to be a G, follow my lead I supply everything you need An ounce of game and the training to make a G Remember me as an outcast, outlaw Another hour, I'm out, that's what I'm about Raw, gettin' raw Till the day I see my cast get buried as a G While the whole world remembers me Until the end of time Take these broken wings I need your hands to come and heal me once again So I can fly Till the end of time Take these broken wings You got to learn to fly and learn to live so free So I can fly Till the end of time Till the end of time Until the end of time Ain't no mystery, get what you give Feel it, it'll come like that I can't tell you what Maybe it's the thug in me
