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
