[00:10.02]Its time to pump up the volume all you in the area
[00:12.93]From suburbs, slums and ghettos through America
[00:15.57]I?m here to break the barriers unify you and I
[00:17.91]Cause under one God we all are humankind

[00:25.62]So I .. deliver these rhymes to uplift the mind
[00:28.38]Spirit and soul with every rhyme I unfold
[00:30.75]And hold my head low and stay humble
[00:33.45]Cause who knows what piece tomorrow will bring to the puzzle
[00:36.12]I huddle my hands together and give praise
[00:38.61]No matter the weather God?s sun provides the rays
[00:41.34]And lights the way through this desolate maze
[00:43.65]Where the obstacles of life can leave your confidence dazed
[00:46.38]But I maintain through strife struggle and strain
[00:48.93]Gain character from persevering through pain
[00:51.33]And it?s strange how I?ve complained when others have had it worse
[00:54.03]Lacking in understanding of the next mans hurt
[00:56.58]But now I comprehend as I write this verse
[00:59.28]So today I give thanks, ?today ya giving what??

[01:35.46]And this goes out to middle class broke and wealthy
[01:38.13]I like to recognize all the things in my lifetime
[01:40.83]Stayin alive or the ability to write rhymes

[01:55.77]Cause all things that you have kid you might have not
[01:58.32]As I drop you say ?word? but check the words that I say
[02:01.20]Just like the Lord giveth he can taketh away
[02:03.54]And today I take time to realize the strife

[03:00.51]So step in these shoes for just a few
[03:03.12]They may fit snug, if so we?re talking to you
[03:05.34]Our story unfolds in a town with a beautiful view
[03:08.01]Where money flows through pockets but people still feud
[03:10.86]And closer to the ground, bums hunger for food
[03:13.20]Embracing nickels of hope or pennies just for booze
[03:15.93]While we view, the television we see
[03:18.33]People at war with each other, themselves, and we
[03:21.03]Dying by the thousands, how thankful we be
[03:23.52]So I?m trying to keep it moving ?cause there?s a reason we?re free?
