Some call me a loser 
 
 Some call me a cheater 
 
 Some say I'm a selfish untalented dreamer 
 
 Cause all's I try to do is keep my dream alive
 
 But it's so hard to do when your working 9 to 5 
 
 I've never been one afraid to die 
 
 But I'm afraid to leave behind
 
 The precious life that grows through the sands of time 
 
 Cause for my son and daughter
 
 I know they need their father 
 
 To help them make it through all of the devious things that people do
 
 Cause every moment counts from the good times to the bad 
 
 I don't have time to envy those that got things I've never had
 
 Cause the one thing most important is the one we take for granted 
 
 And until your life is on that line I think it's the way god had planned it
 
 To open up your eyes and make you realize 
 
 That to some life is money 
 
 But what's money without life
 
 Cause all's I need is the air that I breathe 
 
 And my friends and family to believe in me
 
  
  (hook) 
 
 As deep as the abyss where the waters run
 
 As deeps as the land of the rising sun
 
 You know I'm down
 
 And even when the odds are against us 
 
 It doesn't even matter 
 
 Nothing else matters 
  
 
 We bleed the same blood 
 
 We cry the same tears 
 
 We have the the same fears 
 
 We pass the same years 
 
 We see the same stars 
 
 Under the same skies 
 
 We pass the same time 
 
 We all live and die 
 
 Cause friends and family wash thicker than blood 
 
 And if ya never felt love than I feel for you 
 
 Cuz lives pass above us in 747's 
 
 Deceased dwel below us 
 
 Before they go to heaven 
 
 Deep like seven leagues life intrigues intelligence 
 
 Got no time for clutter, your late if there's hesitance 
 
 Put your foot forward and there will be a helping hand 
 
 Take a step back and your stuck in the quick sand 
 
 Ingesting toxins keeps us locked in, a mental jail trap 
 
 2002 where's your family at
  
 
 (bridge) 
 
 Oh, and I might fail
 
 Oh, I might succeed 
 
 Whatever the outcome is 
 
 Just keep your faith in me 
 
 Just believe in me 
 
 And I will be there 
 
 (repeat hook)
