Lyrics
The time has come, I gotta run
The moment has arrived, and I must depart.
Ain't no regrets, what's done is done
No feelings of remorse; what's done is irreversible.
Fortune and fame just ain't the same
Wealth and celebrity are not fulfilling.
Let's get up
Let's rise and engage in the challenges.
And play the game
Participate in life's challenges.
Sometimes you lose track of your drive
Sometimes, one loses sight of their motivation.
Check my pulse, making sure I'm still alive
Check my heartbeat to ensure I'm alive.
keep my beat, crank the heat
Maintain my rhythm, increase the intensity.
And never retreat
Face challenges boldly and don't back down.
Holdin down, run around
Handle responsibilities and move around the city.
All over town
Do whatever is necessary to achieve success independently.
Do what it takes to make it all on your own
Facing challenges head-on.
Down the barrel of a 45
In a perilous situation, facing danger.
Doesn't matter when you scream or cry
One's reactions don't matter when facing adversity.
The bleak matter of fact
The harsh reality.
Creeping on you like white widow
Approaching stealthily, like a white widow.
Never was part of no fancy country club
Never associated with an exclusive club.
Never looked down my nose or acted smug
Never looked down on others or acted superior.
A modest man, likes to jam
A humble person who enjoys music.
Never harmed no one
Never caused harm to anyone.
Keep it real, honest deal
Stay genuine and deal honestly.
Just shootin' my gun
Expressing oneself freely, possibly through music.
Realize ruined dreams
Acknowledge shattered aspirations and the impact of corporate life.
And our corporate lives
Facing danger with a 45 caliber gun.
Down the barrel of a 45
Reactions are inconsequential in the face of danger.
Doesn't matter when you scream or cry
The stark reality of the situation.
The bleak matter of fact
Approaching discreetly, like a white widow.
Creeping on you like white widow
Transition to the end credits.
Then, when the credits roll
It's time to face the consequences.
Time now to pay the toll
An abrupt halt in one's journey.
Sudden stop in the road
Must maintain a clear conscience for one's soul.
Gotta have a clear conscience
Facing the consequences of one's actions.
For your soul
Prepare for the consequences in the afterlife.
Down the barrel of a 45
Facing danger with a 45 caliber gun.
Doesn't matter when you scream or cry
Reactions are inconsequential in the face of danger.
The bleak matter of fact
The stark reality of the situation.
Creeping on you like white widow
Approaching discreetly, like a white widow.
Picked apart from inside
Subjected to internal scrutiny and criticism.
The rules of man are forced abide
Forced to adhere to societal rules.
The rebel from within is ready
The inner rebel is prepared to break free.
Ready
Prepared and ready to break free.
Ready to break free
Ready to liberate oneself.
