Perhaps I was addicted to the dark side Somewhere inside my childhood witnessed my heart die And even though we both came from the same places The money and the fame made us all change places How could it be through the misery that came to pass The hard times make a true friend afraid to ask, for currency But you could run to me when you need and I'll never leave Honestly, someone to believe in, as you can see It's a small thang to a true, what could I do? Real homies help you get through And come to know he'd do the same thang if he could 'cause in the hood true homies make you feel good And half the times we be actin' up call the cops Bringin' a cease to the peace that was on my block It never stops, when my mama ask 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 away, till the end of time Take these broken wings Please Lord forgive me for my life of sin My hard stare seem to scare all my sister's kids So you know, I don't hang around the house much This all night, money making got me outta touch, shit Ain't flashed a smile in a long while An unexpected birth worst of the ghetto childs My attitude got me walkin' solo, ride out alone in my lo-lo Watchin' the whole world move in slow-mo For quiet times disappear, listen to the ocean Smokin' Ports, think my thoughts, then it's back to coastin' Who can I trust in this cold world? My phony homey had a baby by my old girl But I ain't trippin', I'm a player, I ain't sweatin' him I sex his sister, had her mumble like a Mexican His next of kin, no remorse it was meant to happen Besides rappin' the 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) So I can fly away, till the end of time Take these broken wings You gotta learn to fly and learn to live so free (Until the end of time) So I can fly away, 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 but death row full of demonstrators And in the end drinkin' Hennessey made all my enemies envy me So cold when I flow eliminatin' easily Falls to they knees, they plead for they right to breath While beggin' 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'll supply everything you need An ounce of game and the trainin' to make a G Remember me, as an outcast outlaw Another album out, that's what I'm about more Gettin' raw till the day I see my casket 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 (Until the end of time) So I can fly away, till the end of time Take these broken wings You gotta learn to fly and learn to live so free (Until the end of time) So I can fly away, till the end of time Till the end of time Until the end of time I can fly, I can fly, I can fly
