Live It Now

Can I give you some information this morning?
The past does not exist, when you allow your past to cripple you
You are giving the enemy keys to a cage, with the door unlocked
And, the Father is saying, "Would you just would you just run outta that place?"
"I want you to run out of this cage," do you believe that this morning?
I believe the greatest war that we will face in our life is us against who we once were

Why do I allow my inner fear to interfere?
And let people diss my dreams, 'til they disappear?
Listen here, I don't know who else needs to hear this
Besides me, that is, but I know I need to share this, so here it is
Want the key to success, stop tellin' everybody, yes
Yes, it's sad, but it's true, try to make everybody happy, and everybody will be, but you
Don't let nobody ever steal your gratitude
'Cause, low lifes always hate to see you gainin' altitude
And, I hate to break it to you, but to someone you're a threat
But, don't let that hate break you, take it as a compliment
'Cause, your confidence'll make 'em guard they insecurities
Like a security guard, dawg, don't sweat it, let it be
Let it be ya' symmetry, yeah, a log on that fire
That inspires you to push higher, 'fore your time expires
'Cause, we only get a minute while we here to get it, homie
Turn your mess into a message, and your test to testimonies
Turn your pain into a purpose, what you think writin' these verses?
Why you waiting on your hearse, like life's a dress rehearsal?

You better live it, now
You better live it, now
Your time is almost up, with every second tickin' down
Only get one life to live, there ain't no second time around
So, love the people 'round you, 'fore you six feet in the ground
So, you better live it, now
You better live it, now
If you got something to say, well then, you better spit it out
'Cause, tomorrow isn't promised, if you want to get it, now
They say life is what you make it, make sure that you make it count
You better live it, now

'Cause, yesterday is over, get past your past
Man, quit lookin' back over your shoulder
You'll be grateful when your older
If you don't, hateful and colder
Wear a mask, like everyday's the last day of October
I ain't one to say I told you
But, I'm tellin' you, you better use your free time wisely
'Fore, it turns into a cell for you, 'cause thinkin' can imprison you
And, turn into a hell for you
So, be mindful of what your mind is full of, then you'll never lose

Mind over matter, grind over talent
What you waitin' on? There ain't no better time than the present
Yeah, that's why it's called a present, 'cause you supposed to cherish it
So, turn your L's to lessons, baby, start sharin' your gift

You better live it, now
You better live it, now
Your time is almost up, with every second tickin' down
Only get one life to live, there ain't no second time around
So, love the people 'round you, 'fore you six feet in the ground
So, you better live it, now
You better live it, now
If you got something to say, well then, you better spit it out
'Cause, tomorrow isn't promised, if you want to get it, now
They say life is what you make it, make sure that you make it count
You better live it, now
