[Verse 1]

I take my time, i take my time down

Way down south where the sun is shining everyday

Pass my time, and i wrote my rhyme,

Grab the microphone cos this i really gotta say



You remember when life used to move slow

When good times and friends are all that you know

Now it seems we're walking through the valley of despair

Waves of oppression crashing everywhere

[In] times like these all you got is your friends

U know we stick together till this story ends

So keep the struggle on strong when life turns so black

You gotta keep your head high cos you're makin it back



[Pre-Chorus]

Cos when u go down, you qo down fighting



[Chorus]

We gotta fight

Cos we'll get it right

And the future's bright

Cos now we're getting outta here



I take my time, i take my time down

Way down south where the sun is shining everyday

Pass my time, and i wrote my rhyme,

Grab the microphone cos this i really gotta say



Life's not what you ask for its what you get

But the future is yours if your mind is set

Wasn't what you expected? Gotta work it out!

Feeling kinda rejected? Gotta slug it out!

So get your mind right, keep your head straight

For the best things in life sometimes you gotta wait

So be wize and realize it's all yours

And sometimes we gotta kick down our own doors



[Bridge]

But when the lights turn low, and i feel so alone

In this my dark hour i'll find my way home
