Once again I take the mic feeling sorrow
Desperately seeking for better times and a better tomorrow
Looking intensively to escape this shit life of slavery
Money, reputation, pride : bullshit to my mind
People walk by me everyday they ain’t real they’re zombies
No one pays attention, all go in their own direction
That’s why everybody’s left to their hardcore miseries
And why you can hear cry at night all the cemeteries
So with time runnin’ out understand why we,
North Corp mc’s, invest our soul in hiphop
Why we cry our heart out, why we unite and fight together,
We just cannot so easily give up
This said, I must warn you the days aren’t brighter
The nights shinier
The world keeps turnin’ no matter what goes on
No matter what you do there’ll always be sunsets and dawn
No matter what eventually someday you’ll be gone
That’s why you gotta stay strong boy
That’s why you gotta do what you’re all suppose to do
Before it’s too late
Before everything comes to an end
Cause that’s everybody’s fate
Cause for no one the rules bend
Good times on earth we must spend
Refrain
We’ve got one life, one time
One opportunity, only one chance,
One moment, one occasion, one dance,
We’ve got one shot, one episode
One turn, only one existence
We got one life to live
One time out here
Only one so enjoy it before you leave
See how great the world is, just breathe
When you feel like giving everything up seek a breeze
So many things to explore out here
And backed by brothers it ain’t that bad
Hear me good, this planet is full of mysteries
Miseries, obviously, and also obstacles and many difficulties
But if you’re strong you’ll get past all kinds of traps and puzzles
And discover where true happiness lies in this fucked up world
When everything seems to go wrong, just stay strong
Cause after the rain, the sun comes out to dry up your pain
It’s worth trying, tell me what got you to lose?
What kind of life do you wanna live, it’s up to you to choose
I’ve made my decision, and no one will interfere
It’s my life and I won’t waste it, no crystal clear
