[Fade In - Training Day Clip]

"Open yea eyes man, you'll feel a lot better."


Yeah, J-Lee, 2Smooth Productions
Sometimes life's got its own way of sayin 'back the fuck off'
"But you gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit" [-Tupac Shakur]


Sometimes yea think yea lost
Sometimes yea wanna cry
But inside there's somethin in yeah heart you know will never die
Right? So yeah try, give your life and you survive
Besides showin pride will imply yeah flyin high man
Been usin yea time not choosin to cry and 
Yea keep yea head up and refusin to sigh, man 
You wanna break it up but how can it be?
Drippin more salt water than the tears of the sea
Hear this from me: believe in yourself, you're more than you see
Please, you can't stop the beat of the feat that you seek
I know yea weak, yea bleedin but you need to not leave
Just watch yea twisted heat man and follow yea lead
Yea see, the moment we forget how to breathe
Or the moment that the sun will stop burnin and freeze
Or when we walk in June below eleven degrees
Not matter what kinda shit'll be, always believe, man



[Chorusx2]

When you haven't paid it through
I'll be prayin for you
When yea feel like yea walkin over shades of blue
Keep yea game up too
All this pain to use
When yea feel like yea walkin over shades of blue




Lookin in the sky, the way that it bends
Dancin in the dark, tryin to find the way to the end
Pretend, just for a second, that you died for your friends
Blend and mended all the love that's so hard to hold in
There's no way complain, yea just stay in yea game
I'm not sayin this just cause take away the blame
Contain the shame and stains, better stay in yea lane
If you keep your head up you'll get luck in exchange
Yea on yea own so don't come cryin back to me
With God by your side, he's yea map at sea
Actually, pull away from being flat on yea feet
And dream higher than the birds, you won't be half as weak
Anymore, you'll soar and you'll just be that elite
And you'll have more guidance when you pass the beat
You'll be, the air that you have to breathe
Just believe



[Chorus x4]

[Fade Out]

I ain't always gonna be there by your side man
But I believe in you, I've seen you do it
It's all up to you now
But you gotta keep yea head up man
