Eazy-E Had Nights Like This Lyrics

So things didn't work out the way you had planned
Crossed your name, cut down where you stand
Well if you give up your heart, you were fucked from the start
When the world leaves you hanging

We're all brought into this world without a clue
Well I'd rather except it than end up like you
You just take what they leave, then you say I'm naive?
At least I fucking believe in who I am
The only reason I'm still standing

I have failed, I've prevailed
Man, you don't even try
No regrets, don't let this pass you by, oh why

You can act all enlightened and say you don't care
But your smug cynicism will get you nowhere
Cuz the day that you quit is the day you submit
To the bastards who always said "you can't"

If we don't take a stand we never stood a chance
