Once in a While

God please hold it down for me, don�t let Satan get a hold of me
'Cause every time you ask me I�m grinding
I don't tossed the Beretta now, on a whole 'nother level now
(Once in a while I choose to look at you)
It's that twinkle man, that sign of struggle, I�ve seen it in me
You shouldn�t have to pay my way
'Cause I see your pain now, ooh yeah

Once in a while I choose
But still I can�t enjoy my fame

Muhammad I thank God he recovered, yeah

I'm trying to tell you, it done happened to me too
(Once in a while I choose to look at you)
(Once in a while I choose look at you)
I can see that you don�t ever want to struggle no more

'Cause I see your pain now, ooh yeah
(See the twinkle in your eyes)
(See the twinkle in your eyes)

Oh, what must I do, this what you'd be asking
(Once in a while I choose to look at you to see the twinkle in your eyes)

Child support, lady on your case
And I can see you crying and inside your dying, inside your dying
(Once in a while I choose to look at you)
But it happened a lot worse to my brother
No longer the same now, 'cause you got to
Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid
(Once in a while I choose to look at you)
It shouldn�t have to be that way
Twinkle in you, I can see that you don�t ever want to struggle no more
And I can see that you don�t ever want to cry no more
Look in your eyes, ooh yeah
I can feel you scream now, I can feel you screaming

I guess your living better now, sharing a lil� of that cheddar now
Oh, once in a while
(See the twinkle in your eye)
Bounty hunters checking state to state
(See the twinkle in your eyes)
(Once in a while I choose to look at you to see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you don�t ever want to struggle no more
(Once in a while I choose to look at you to see the twinkle in your eyes)
(See the twinkle in your eye)

Got a let a little problem on the way
(Once in a while I choose to look at you)
I see my pain in your eyes man so I know your feelin� me

'Cause I remember days back when a
(Once in a while I choose to look at you to see the twinkle in your eyes)

And I can see that you don�t ever want to struggle no more
Brotha was hustling and robbing too
Ooh, yeah
Unless my people doing the same and getting money too

'Cause everyday I can�t help but see it, the people ain't satisfied
But ain't no length you'd go or mountain you'd climb
Not to better your day, oh, that will do is leave room for people to say
But you got to maintain now, 'cause you got to maintain
And I can see that you don�t ever want to cry no more
I shouldn�t have to want for a brighter day
And you're hatin� your nine to five and everybody wanna live another life
And I can see that you don�t ever want to cry no more
