Only Got One
One life to live, I live it in abundance
One mic to give I give it to my youngins
Sharing my experience, where should i begin?
Hashem knows my suffering gave me elephant skin
It all collapses when the pressure is on
You roll in packs but each one is out for their own
Just like crabs in a bucket....
So I gotta see their aim...I gotta see their shot....and duck it
But now we argue and discuss, dwelling on the facts
Stuck inside the future, dwelling on the past
While today flew by...I watched is as it passed
Running out of thoughts, running out gas
Chorus:
This life ain't always worth it, some things happen unexpected
Make the best of whatever you work with. Only got one, better make it worth it
I would love to see the world again through a child’s eye
Remove that from the equation, it's just I and I
But now the child is grown - who's gonna save me from my own?
Is this the end? Are we really alone?
They say failure is another step towards progress
After every mistake, there comes success
So I gotta keep it coming, see beyond the stress, and with you by my side, i just feel so blessed
Because I’m the son of Israel, and so I have to be a freedom fighter, I am a maccabee
“mi kamocha baelim hashem” - prophecy
So I am never scared, cuz he will will blast for me
It would be blasphemy, to ever doubt his power
I live once, I'll die a man before I live a coward
That's why my people rise up, in the face of stabbings and lead showers
Live every moment like the final hour
Chorus:
This life ain't always worth it, some things happen unexpected
Make the best of whatever you work with. Only got one, better make it worth it
Not sure anymore if they want me around
I keep my head above water feet above ground
Reach to the sky so they can't pull me down
And we speak to the masses through the words and the sound
