(Chorus)

Cause they were not chosen

You are a leader, that is paving the road in

The last of the clean slates are corroding

This life, is disdained for the moment

So stay in the moment, cause they were not chosen

You are a leader, that is paving the road in

The last of the clean slates are corroding

This life, is disdained for the moment

(Verse 1)

It's time to rise up, and do so with fervor

Gonna be hard with passion on the back burner

Cause I've been broken down, mistreated, mislead

By the same people that I called my best friends

When I rap, I lash out, and that sound

Is destiny crashing from a black cloud

If we're to battle, I'd be the one to back down

But I'm saddled on this high horse, like I'm attatched now

I'm as hard as granite, and frozen like a gargoyle

My flame's out, getting sparks from oil

Staring at an empty watch, feelin' outta time

Like I need to make a choice, before the sun rise

Remember the message, but forget the name

When the hammer drops, there are few who remain

They tremble and shake, when exposed to their bare roots

Gain control, when half this shit scares you

(Chorus)

Stay in my moment, cause they were not chosen

You are a leader, that is paving the road in

The last of the clean slates are corroding

This life, is disdained for the moment

So stay in the moment, cause they were not chosen

You are the one, that is paving the road in

The last of the clean slates are corroding

This life, is disdained for the moment

(Verse 2)

The only things that manifest

Is the thoughts that you never give rest

If this is the case, why is life so complex?

Cause we get distracted by the continuous tests

Focused on the nega- side of everything

What we attract to ourselves is embarassing

Living in a lifestyle that's known as American

Swept in the swiftness, we lost our samaritans

Inner peace, doesn't matter if you're Buhddist

Or Shinto, or Christian, or whatever you choose man

A fish in the sea, feelin' like a minnow?

Remember each day is a gift that is bestowed/

I must admit, we all become victimized

And play the role through, until the day dies

The gems of the day, can be seen as win-some

But the key, is to find 'em in the kingdom

(Chorus)

Stay in my moment, cause they were not chosen

You are a leader, that is paving the road in

The last of the clean slates are corroding

This life, is disdained for the moment

So stay in the moment, cause they were not chosen

You are the leader, that is paving the road in

The last of the clean slates are corroding

This life, is disdained for the moment

So stay in the moment, cause they were not chosen

You are the leader, that is paving the road in

The last of the clean slates are corroding

This life, is disdained for the moment

So stay in the moment, cause they were not chosen

You are the leader, that is paving the road in

The last of the clean slates are corroding

This life, is disdained for the moment
