'Sunsets' Lyrics

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

Used to be young and dumb but now I've grown older

As this world has slowly grown colder

A lone soldier in a battlefield not sellin out for mass appeal

I'm takin it back to skill hard work and practise drills

Knowledge of self without a map if you're lost how could you possibly tell

Books on a shelf gathering dust

We're distracted what happened to us

Ignorance is bliss but you won't believe the damage it does

What happened to passion and love

Hip hop artists used to be the smartest

Now its down to me to shine my light into the darkness

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step

I hope God knows that I'm not done yet

Mixed my tears with blood and sweat

It's a struggle everyday until the sun sets

In a cycle of slim cheques and cripplin debts

This system is a triple threat

They oppress our poor communities

We need more opportunity

But they wage a war against our unity

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

Priceless wisdom inside the lines I've written

You can't blind my vision believe me I tried

But I can't hide from what's inside

Made mistakes but never lost my pride

In this race I've never lost my stride

Now I'm no longer a rat trapped in a maze

I've managed to escape

And I'm on the rise like cancer rates

Had no choice but to amputate

A part of me's missin that's the price of fast livin

My pride made it hard to listen

So I'm askin Him to pardon my sins

Bless me with a fresh page and I'm starting again

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

Let me finish with a quote from the late great Tupac Shakur

Goes a little somethin like this

I know it seems hard sometimes but remember one thing

Through every dark night there's a bright day after that

So no matter how hard it gets stick your chest out

Keep your head up and handle it

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next

If I make it through the day and then the sun sets

I pray that I can make it through the one next
