[Hey, it ain't over]
Me, I hope that I'm crazy
I feel you driving and you're only the wheel
Slow down, let some-one love you
Oww, I've never touched you since I started to feel
If there's nothing to hide me,
then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired
Somebody lied,
but I say it's hip
to be alive
{chorus}
Now your smile is spreading thin
Seems you're trying not to lose
Since I'm not supposed to grin
All you've got to do is win
[Oww, that's all ya gotta do]
[Oww, it ain't over]
Me, I'm fresh on your pages
Secret thinker, sometimes listening aloud
Life lies dumb on its' heroes
Wear your wound with honor, make someone proud
Someone like you
should not be allowed
to start any fires
{chorus}
[Oww, that's all ya gotta do]
[Oww, it ain't over]
{chorus}
[Oww, thats all ya gotta do]
[Oww] Got to do is win [it ain't over]
Well, your smile is spreading thin
[Oww, seek and believe in you]
Since you're trying not to lose
[Oww, it ain't over, no, no]
Since I'm not supposed to grin
[Oww, that's all ya gotta do]
All you've got to do is win
[Oww, it ain't over, no]
[Oww, seek and believe in you]
All you've got to do is win
[Oww, it ain't over, no, no]
Oww, all you've got!
Is all you've got
[It ain't over]
Dark is the night
I can weather the storm
Never say die
I've been down this road before
I'll never quit
I'll never lay down
See, I've promised myself
That I'd never let me down, so
I'll never give up, never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall, I'll never fail
I'll just get up and try again
Never lose hope, never lose faith
There's much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
I'm not looking for place to show, I'm gonna win
No stopping now
There's still a ways to go
Ohh, someway, somehow
Whatever it takes I know
I'll never quit, no, no
I'll never go down
I'll make sure they remember my name
A hundred years from now
I'll never give up, never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall, I'll never fail
I'll just get up and try again
Never lose hope, never lose faith
There's much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
I'm not looking for place or show, I'm gonna win
When it's all said and done
My once in a lifetime, won't be back again
Now is the time, to take a stand
Here is my chance, that's why I
Never give up, never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall, I'll never fail
I'll just get up and try again
Never lose hope, never lose faith
There's much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
Win, win win, win win, win, win win, win win
Win, win win, win win, win, win win, win win

Standing on the stage making rain guess who showed em that

[Intro: L.E.O.]
Yo, yo, yo Shy
Yo, yo you ain't home?
Yo this L.E.O., this your cousin
Pick up the phone God
Yo I got somethin to tell you God
Damn God, yo when you get my message God
Hit me, aight?
[Shyheim]
Shit Iz Real, nigga
2000 project housin shit
It's on, nigga, faggot ass niggaz
Shaolin, it's my hood, nigga
"When did you stop lovin me?"
Staple-town
"When did I stop lovin you?"
Niggaz thought they was gon' be able to touch me, right?
27, Killa Bee Gang, nigga!
Niggaz gon' respect that God
Thought you was gon' touch me and niggaz was gon' be left at that, huh?
"When did you stop lovin me?"
Huh? Yea, nigga, war for life
It's 'bout that time, my nigga
Y'all better clear out..
What you wanna be labelled as, a coward or a duck?
What powder you cut? You went in that buildin for what?
When you rep' that buildin, what you set for that buildin?
If it wasn't for me, you would've been dead in that buildin
You don't know what it feel like to say "I own that buildin"
Get dough in that buildin, or control that buildin
You don't know that feelin, you ain't condone that killin
Cuz when the cops came, you was like Shy in that buildin
I remember them days when you was shook in them buildins
Put you in front of these buildins, frontin like you killin
When the scrams was on, you was all on his dick
And you gave that bitch money cuz you've always been a trick
You know Shy the kid, I'm back on the block
Bought the crack in the spot, Twin back in the box
Fuckin clap at the cops, if I'm rappin or not
What you gonna do nigga, shoot or get shot?
BLAOW!
[Chorus x4]
"When did you stop lovin me?"
"When did I stop lovin you?"
[Shyheim]
Oh boy, why won't you tell me nigga?
Stop frontin, say somethin nigga
What up? Y'all fuckin stupid!
My shit is hot on the block like new glocks out the box
or yacht for the dough, at the boat docks
Father Shy, I put you in the trauma unit
Shoot up your body viewin, Bing monster, half human
Cause mass confusion, put the air in the cake
You hear the +Tales in the Hood+, I'm crazy like Case
Niggaz want peace on Earth, so to God they pray
Say my name in your grace, live from the 7-1-8
Empire State, where Ghostface retired Ma$e
I meditate amongst the great, you can't hold no weight
cuz you soft as cake, I pack a lion down and punch a bear in his face
I got no more to say
[Chorus x5]
[Outro: Shyheim]
This goes out, Freddy Red
Chubby, my nigga
Yea, my nigga
My cousins, Twin, Leo, Big Un
Gil, Killa Kane
Yea, Mush, uh..
Oh boy, won't you tell me?
Yea, Ishmail, yea, all my niggaz
Love ya, Shock-12, love ya son
Homocide, what up nigga?
All my niggaz, see you when you come home
Car-Cheesy, G-Note, the Feds
Nigga I see you when you come home nigga
Lil' Free, yea, never stop lovin you
You my niggaz, all my niggaz locked down
Yea, one love, one thug, to the mothafucka last slug
Can you see it in this way
Life is just a long day
In the journey of ourselves
But there's so much we can do
To believe in and make true
And all depends on you
So you, so you keep on dreaming by yourself
Cause:
Where we live, how we die
It's just a thing to see outside
Real truth it's inside
It's what we want to be
So you've got to win, win for yourself
So you've got to win
No one seems to understand
What's the point of our life's plan
The aim we're living for
So they scream into our ears
Stiring up our biggest fears
In this life we're gonna face
But you, but you keep on dreaming by yourself
Cause:
Where we live, how we die
It's just a thing to see outside
Real truth it's inside
It's what we want to be
So you've got to win, win for yourself
So you've got to win
So I leave you with my own advice
Ain't no one better than you to know what is right
In your feelings there is your plan
And in your life you're the real boss, man
Keep on searching in yourself
Ain't no answer in someone else
So you've got to win, win for yourself
So you've got to win
