For What It's Worth
(专辑: The Salvation - 2009)
[Sample 2Pac Shakur:] It so, basic that we all want to be famous and noticed and watched And we all want money and riches and want We all want the
finest out of life From a, from the
most heartless gangbanger To the
most ah, virtuous police officer AND we're all um, human beings So we're all susceptible to our own weaknesses Temptation is a
very strong weakness [Skyzoo:] There's too much money in cocaine for me to be playin the
broke game Or at the
nine to five with the
no names But here I
be, nine to fifthin it with all of them no names Tryin to figure out who I'm gon' blame For where I
be and where I
be is nothin that I
ever dreamed Everything I'm turnin into was never me None of this was scripted Or maybe it was and I
was too blind to get this And maybe because I
was too blind to get this I
threw it to the
street But look at me, I'm makin up excuses as we speak See the
reality of it is, it's easier to be cold out then bundled in And he who be on the
slow route is runnin thin Or so it seems and now I'm treadmillin my life on a
lower speed All that really matters is a
profit Tomorrow I
handle the
aftermath of how I
got it Fuck all of the
worryin and all of the
second guessin I
don't got time to deal with a
second question Life is what you make it be and everything in life is shaped to be I
vow to turn it 'round and then bow gracefully Not enough reasons to say no And too many reasons to say yes and I
ain't pressed to say so Been dealin with the
same dollar and the
same dream Lost between Plans A
and B
And this is for what it's worth I'm just tryin to be what I
can be I'm just tryin to be what I
can be But it feels like time keeps walkin Time keeps walkin, walkin away from me Huh, so for what it's worth I'm just tryin to make what I
can make I'm just tryin to make what I
can make But it feels like time keeps talkin Time keeps talkin and I
don't understand what it say There's too much money in heroin for me to pretend to be negligent I'm ignorin it more than I
ever did And I
can't lie, they say all it take is time to better it But my clock is lookin foreverish Like why can't I, be blessed with a
more blessed set of wings I
see less as more or less everything More or less everything that I
ever wanted is all gone And replaced with what I've been runnin from all along So why even entertain the
chase? Why even pretend I
was built to stay in this race? The
truth is my sweetest dream Is so far from my hands that I
don't even reach I'm so far from a
plan that right now, anything'll do Cause if the
lullabies that the
corner sing is true Then hit the
play button and I'll be down until it's gone All the
hopes that use to be become the
sounds within the
songs And with that said, I
say "Good Morning America" Say it once more just in case it wasn't clear enough "Good Morning America", this is what your dreams are made from As well as what your dreams could break from Ignorin all the
risks, all the
cops, all the
enemies All the
nameless bullets that could be namelessly sent to me All the
fame from pullin it and all of the
fame From bein on the
wrong side, which one do you claim? For what it's worth I'm just tryin to be what I
can be I'm just tryin to be what I
can be But it feels like time keeps walkin Time keeps walkin, walkin away from me Huh, so for what it's worth I'm just tryin to make what I
can make I'm just tryin to make what I
can make But it feels like time keeps talkin Time keeps talkin and I
don't understand what it say Turned down every offer I
was given Regardless of the
wrath or the
temp, I'm pivot And I'm just tryin to keep it straight and narrow But I'm seein Satan's arrow and it's hard not to get hit with it I'm duckin low and prayin that it all pays at the
finish line And that I
don't have to pay for it when it's dinner time But bein honest, left never looked so right And that corner never looked so bright The
outcome ain't worth tryin not to be not outdone Outrun what you can but where you run out from'll Always be your home base Until you lookin back home with a
stone face All the
shit that you fall for is twinge with your dreams, all gone You question if your questions were all wrong You seein how it changed, each side of the
game Cause your pink slips is they bullets, neither got a
name, damn [Female Singer:] For what it's worth I'm just tryin to be what I
can be I'm just tryin to be what I
can be But it feels like time keeps walkin Time keeps walkin, walkin away from me For what it's worth I'm just tryin to make what I
can make I'm just tryin to make what I
can make But it feels like time keeps talkin Time keeps talkin and I
don't understand what it say
