-Layzie Bone (reciting a 2pac poem)-(Krayzie Bone)-{Wish Bone}-Intro-
The power of a gun can kill and the power of fire can burn. The power of wind can chill and the power of a mind can learn.
The power of anger can rage inside until it tears you apart. But the power of a smile, especially yours, can heal a frozen heart. (And tomorrow we'll wake up with the promise of a smile/ Yes, maybe tomorrow/ We'll wake up with the promise of a smile) {Rest in peace Tupac. Bone Thugs. In his own words. Let's go.}
-Krayzie Bone-Chorus-
I see the light (and tomorrow)/ I can see the light (and tomorrow)/ I see the light (and tomorrow)/ See the light that shine (and tomorrow)
-Krayzie Bone-
We still looking for better days/ Hoping tomorrow can bring us some bigger and better things/ So we can escape this maze and they give us our change in every way/ And maybe tomorrow can bring us the truth and they'll be no more use for the pain and sorrow/ Let's put it to use and then maybe the youth can come and follow/ And we can leave all our problems in the bottle/ Tomorrow maybe god'll wipe our eyes and we'll never have to cry no more/ Or even better have to die no more/ Politicians can't tell us lies no more/ He decides no more/ Maybe tomorrow, it can be our daylight, just might be our sunshine/ Yesterday is filled with so much misery and drama/And today it don't seem like I'm getting any further/ Praying tomorrow we can somehow come out of the struggle/ And need no more hustle, no stumbling 'cause we all one muscle/ Still looking for a better day and a better way/ So let's hope tomorrow can lead us to the place we tryin' to be/ In heavenly harmony, in heavenly harmony
-Chorus-
-Wish Bone-
Where there's a will there's a way/ Don't let it stand in your way/ Look 'em straight in they face/ Let 'em know you ain't playing no games/ We searching for better days, wanna live them better ways/ With a (?) heart is all you need to rock, be honest, succeed/ Just look at me/ If I can do it, you can do it, he can do it/ Just believe, believe, believe/ When I lay down, I think about some of the wrong things I done/ So I pray now for the Lord to correct some of that wrong/ Wipe my soul clean to be wanted when he calls me/ When he calls me/ So I can't sleep 'cause I'm worried/ I done did things, lord forgive me/ Its a damn shame the things we do to get it our way/ Snitch on thugs just to get your pay/ Niggas need ta act right, in the past we used to fight/ Where the loyalty at? Where them real street thugs? Where the thug life? Where there's a will there's a way
-Chorus-
-Layzie Bone-
So as the hours pass by/ In the event of my demise/ Tell mama not to cry/ These are the words of the wise/ Look at liberty needing glasses now that the promise been broken/ For the better keep on hopin'/ Powerful words thats spoken/ What I'm quotin' is a G acquired his knowledge from the streets/Makaveli, Tupac Shakur was the rose that grew from concrete/ America's most complete artist/ Regardless, one of the hardest/ On a mission to make it better with the soul of Malcom and Martin/ Mixed with a little Garvey/ Today he got us callin'/ Our brighter star is fallen/ But now before he was ballin' out of control/ Quick to let a nigga know what he stood for/ Be a friend or foe/ And I bring the truth in the booth 'cause ain't nobody gon' help me/ This is life, it's a gamble and I'mma scramble 'til my pockets wealthy/ Fuck what they tell me, I'm all about my biz, bitch/ Street biz or showbiz, I'mma make y'all know this/ And I'mma say this to every man, woman and child/ Don't you ever be afraid to smile/ Smile for me now/ And I'mma say this to every man, woman and child/ Don't you ever be afraid to smile/ The power of a smile
-Layzie Bone- (throughout chorus)
