One Shot

This good life It's splendor Never a chance did I push aside Nor my sense for adventure Chasing the dream Since I was a teen And my home's been The whole world I played the cards That was dealt to me Made my bones, pushed over But I'm still lingering on And I still fly Like an eagle soaring high It's gotta be real I don't wanna settle for second best I wanna feel The rush of every breath that I take And I'm real What you see will always Be what you get Rеal Every little step of thе way In this life I've been there Been there done that I took my fights and my bouts I was sincere True to myself and I'm humble For all I'm allowed In this life Driven by faith never lost the fire From the first breath Till the last sigh Every day is a gift And in the end I Wouldn't change a single thing It's gotta be real I don't wanna settle for second best I wanna feel The rush of every breath that I take And I'm real What you see will always Be what you get Real Every little step of the way I lived out loud the fantasies That rocked my world The flame inside of me still burns And in the end I Wouldn't change a single thing It's gotta be real I don't wanna settle for second best I wanna feel The rush of every breath that I take And I'm real What you see will always Be what you get Real Every little step of the way It's gotta be real I don't wanna settle for second best I wanna feel The rush of every breath that I take And I'm real What you see will always Be what you get Real Every little step of the way

You'll never read me Never figure out What lies behind my eyes So strong and yet so vulnerable I'm complex, consistent, Competitive See you you In black and white Mysterious and perceptual My trust ain't build up easily But once you have it you will see You'll find no better friend than me And it goes forever Here comes the Scorpio My poison lies within Strength is my dynamo As deadly as my sting If you hurt me I will hurt you back so don't Oppose my glee Don't tread on me And if you dare to walk with me you'll feel My sheer intensity My passion and my jealousy You'll be aware that I desire to lead and I Don't take defeat It's anchored deep inside of me I'd jump into the fray for you If you commit yourself to me There ain't no thing I wouldn't do My faith is endless Mars is my lord life is my battlefield Straight to the core I'm my own worst enemy Here comes the Scorpio My stamina is strong And when I've set my goals I'll battle 'til it's won Here comes the Scorpio My poison lies within Strength is my dynamo As deadly as my sting If you hurt me I will hurt you back So don't oppose my glee Don't tread on me

There is magic in this room tonight Like a lucid vivid dream Everywhere and in between An enchanted sense of pure delight Like an inner state of grace Everything falls into place Like all the rivers, they are floating into one It's making sense, there's meaning to it all Tonight our love is shining brighter than the sun This is our call, just think about it One shot, one life One chance to throw the dice and We can't waste another day, no One love, two hearts One go to play our parts in life What if tomorrow is too late? This is perfect and it feels so right We cannot let it pass Our fortunes made of glass And I see it When I melt into your eyes Whatever road we take I will suffer for your sake Embrace the moment, we are living in the now In a heavenly place, a realm of blissfulness Feel the rapture of the love that we're allowed Within ourselves, just think about it One shot, one life One chance to throw the dice and We can't waste another day, no One love, two hearts One go to play our parts in life What if tomorrow is too late? And tonight we roam in paradise A higher love so beautified When it's all and all is one Like the essence of a fairy tale The kind of love that couldn't fail The journey has just begun Oh, just think about it One shot, one life One chance to throw the dice and We can't waste another day, no One love, two hearts One go to play our parts in life What if tomorrow maybe too late? One shot, one life One chance to throw the dice and We can't waste another day, no One love (one love), two hearts (two hearts) One go to play our parts in life (One shot, one life, one chance, one shot) What if tomorrow, tomorrow is too late?

I've been back-stabbed I've been double-crossed Mistreated and misused Been a witness to your Greed and grandiosity Now my trust is you is As worn out as the soles of my shoes Had enough of blatant lies And in-transparency And you know I don't wanna be I don't wanna be subjugated All I wanna be All I wanna be I wanna be me I don't wanna be Wanna be intimidated Just gotta break free I've been hurt and disappointed I felt bitter and betrayed I've been let down From your ego and dishonesty All your self justification Do you ever feel ashamed You intimidate to cover your fragility And you know

Look upon the sky one star will twinkle And you'll feel that rush of love Channeling through And you'll realize that love is True and simple When the only star in heaven Shines for you Our destiny is predecided Ride in through the great divide Come shine with me We're meant to be eternally Flying through all space and time And dive into the love divine 'Cause love is real and you will feel It's endlessly The frequency of love I'll be everywhere and All around to trace you You'll always be the hotline to my heart When you're down 'n out My spirit will embrace you The destination for your soul to park

Staring straight into your eyes The barrel of a gun Yet another sacrifice to come Conflict over compromise Prospects stripped away And it all comes with a price Outrage Now someone stole your light Your future your god-given right to shine It takes someone to die For others to survive Before the rise of an empire Another must fall Build on the bones from the dead It'll rise above all They could never crush your dreams Nor silence your desires No oppressor nor regime Could tame your fire Defying tyranny your destiny's in Someone else's hands Regain your dignity go claim to your Demands Maybe one day Your will may be done And your pleas they may be heard Somewhere down the darkened Road beyond Before the rise of an empire Another must fall Build on the bones from the dead It'll rise above all

I could travel half around the world Fly out to the moon and back And you'd be there for me Truly you're my angel here on earth Always there to cheer me up when I'm lost and lonely You're the light on my darker days By my side when the sky is grey Everyday I'm amazed by the grace That I see in you And even when we're miles away Miles away Your love's still haunting Baby when we're miles away Our ties won't break, we'll still be bonding Always be drawn to you Looking through your eyes I see pure gold Living is a high when I can hear you breathing Baby you were born to touch my soul Never did you let me down nor hurt my feelings And in life's ever changing lanes I know that you will remain the same 'Til the end I'll depend on the friend That I have in you My each and everything you Mean the world to me You're my rock you're my reason A friend in need is a friend indeed And this love runs so deep and it's healing Woman you're my heart and soul And I could always count on you In troubled times you pulled me through And my road leads back to you

Bullets flying people dying Riots in the streets Racial segregation and Injustice lies beneath We all need correction To reconcile and heel We need redirection To find what's real Picture yourself in a world where you Wanna be World of felicity World you can see yourself in In a world of humanity Freed from insanity A world where you wanna be And here we are in sheer frustration still Stuck in reverse And left a trail of devastation tortured Mother earth It's plain to see the red lights It's calling out for change Time to fight the good fight and engage And our commitment is Crucial, indisputable in the end And everything will be beautiful, So beautiful again

We can't cover all the tracks Nor can we justify our acts We know too well Still we refuse to realize As we're all living in denial Within ourselves The mines we've laid we see exploding Rains keeps falling storms are growing It's in the tarots it's an omen It's a sin So wake up from the lie you're living in I prophesize I see the future in the fire We are the fuel upon the pyre I see beyond thе never ending I see it all I see thе writing on the wall I look inside the crystal ball I see angels descending I prophesize I see beyond I see the signs When reality beats fiction And a threat to our existence Comes to show When your world begins to smolder There's a weight upon your shoulder And you know The world we've known has lost its glory The seeds we've sown all tells their story We must regain to stand victorious In the end And wake up to the lie we're living in I prophesize I see the future in the fire We are the fuel upon the pyre I see beyond the never ending I see it all I see the writing on the wall I look inside the crystal ball I see angels descending I prophesize I see beyond I see the signs Yeah I prophesize I see the future in the fire We are the fuel upon the pyre I see beyond the never ending I see it all I see the writing on the wall I look inside the crystal ball I see angels descending I prophesize I see beyond I see the signs I see the signs

Life is a struggle you're persistent and endure Crave for the healing rain But there ain't no cure Like every human soul You face the ups and downs And then you never know When the bell rings out In life There's no mountain too high to climb No river too deep to dive Let your heart and soul be your guide One by one The pieces come together Brick by brick You're building up yourself again On and on We stumble we fall Re-arise and stand tall One by one Living is a do or die it's all a give and take Living is to love someone cause it Hurts to hate You try to navigate and finally realize It's just a stepping stone To the afterlife And you Destiny will carry you through You'll be judged for all that you do There's a karma waiting for One by one The pieces come together Brick by brick You're building up yourself again On and on The road that runs forever Step by step Will soon enough be closing in One by one We stumble we fall Re-arise and stand tall One by one

You know the feeling all you really want Belongs to someone else All you envision all that you pretend Disappear within itself Clutching at straws you'd do anything 'Cause your goals are all that matters When all the colors have gone Out of your world When your hopes And dreams lies shattered Think you're there Just to find that you're nowhere near Your life ain't going anywhere Just lost somewhere down the line When dreams are not enough When dreams are not enough When it's one step forward And two steps back When you've lost your way And gone of the track When dreams are not enough Rock bottom riding against the tide Wish a miracle would emerge Seek shelter from the hurt inside But you don't know where to search You're astray On a foundation made of clay And one more time you're pushed away Hopelessly stuck down the line Thanks to ememar.fer for sending these lyrics.
