  • Some call me a loser
    Some call me a cheater
    Some say I'm a selfish untalented dreamer
    Cause all's I try to do is keep my dream alive
    But it's so hard to do when your working 9 to 5
    I've never been one afraid to die
    But I'm afraid to leave behind
    The precious life that grows through the sands of time
    Cause now I've got two daughters
    And I know they need their father
    To help them make it through all of the devious things that people do
    Cause every moment counts from the good times to the bad
    I don't have time to envy those that got things I've never had
    Cause the one thing most important is the one we take for granted
    And until your life is on that line I think it's the way god had planned it
    To open up your eyes and make you realize
    That to some life is money
    But what's money without life
    Cause all's I need is the air that I breathe
    And my friends and family to believe in me

    As deep as the abyss where the waters run
    As deep as the land of the rising sun
    You know I'm down
    And even when them odds are against us
    It doesn't even matter
    Nothing else matters

    We bleed the same blood
    We cry the same tears
    We have the same fears
    We pass the same years
    We see the same stars
    Under the same skies
    We pass the same time
    We all live and die
    Cause friends and family wash thicker than blood
    And if ya' never felt love than I feel for you cuz'
    Cuz' lives pass above us in 747's
    Deceased dwell below us
    Before they go to heaven
    Everything in between will hassle me
    Some stay connected while other keep dreaming
    Looking for that meaning but the lost can't be found
    Drop to your caps and pray
    Now can ya' hear the sound?
    Do ya' feel it?
    Now do ya' feel it comin'?
    Two triple zero the hunters are the hunted
    Electrical currents conflict with the spirits
    Ah do ya' hear it ah or do ya' feel it?
    Deep like seven leagues life intrigues intelligence
    Got no time for clutter, you're late if there's hesitance
    Put your foot forward and there will be a helping hand
    Take a step back and your stuck in the quick sand
    Ingesting toxins keeps us locked in, a mental jail trap
    99' where's your family at

    Oh, and I might fail
    Oh, I might succeed
    Whatever the outcome is
    Just keep your faith in me
    Just believe in me
    And I will be there

    As deep as the abyss where the waters run
    As deep as the land of the rising sun
    You know I'm down
    And even when them odds are against us
    It doesn't even matter
    Nothing else matters Writer/s: Arthur Taylor Lee, David Lee Bowers, Doug Moore, Sean Garden, Steve Faulkner
