Things that you believe in often prove untrue,
But, things that you know live within you.
Yeah, I still believe...but, once I knew,
See, things that you believe in often prove untrue.
Now, there was a time when I knew that things would get better,
Then, I followed the "Spirit of the Law", not just the letter.
But when your mother forsakes you and your wife won't take you,
Trust me, a strong mind is a virtue.
See, I could easily break down...instead I break down these walls,
Cuz, if I crumble, then La'Uana is the one that will fall.
Now, i promise right now to my precious little child,
To protect her from hunger, ignorance and pedophiles.
Now, my $1,000,000 question: Why is life such a fight?
I get punished when I'm wrong...still no love when I'm right.
But, I still believe -- no, I know...that this day just like all the rest,
It's all just another part of the "Big Test".
See, if i survive then I'll know it was all for the good,
And I still know my soul is purer than these cats in the hood.
I really wish it was a way to restore my lost faith,
But, yesterday I knew...I only believe today.
