Intro: yo, I'm gonna talk to you about life for a minute (coolio) |
|
Verse 1: I'm going to a chain 'cause it ain't the same |
|
I remain no geak, life's just to play the game |
|
trying to brake this chain off my brain so I can gangsta change |
|
swinging with your things out without a name |
|
a stranger is too much too beat but I ain't scared |
|
I pray to god, hope he wont send me to the devils land |
|
I hope that's not in heaven, trying to get my stand out |
|
hope my hopes and dreams dont burn in flames, but I'm aware |
|
a life ain't promised, trying to avoid the drama |
|
and live up the expectations for my dear old mama |
|
inside there's also a fool, inside the court building |
|
make a million maybe a billion we can save for our childeren |
|
face to face we trying to escape that but it's too late |
|
so I grab the world and hope I dont have to wait, to get my strike |
|
I've seen the life and all the pain and suffer |
|
so I put my name in the book |
|
Chorus: life x4 (what life) that's life life life (that's life) |
|
Verse 2: ok now, here's the situation |
|
I was raised in a good nation and given a formal education |
|
my brothers and me lived in a fucked up area |
|
where the innocent life is shitty, lot of grey steam, it's a pitty |
|
when you look over the steam you can miss me |
|
go ahead and talk but if you diss me |
|
they have to come and get me |
|
they wanna pimp me from my sin |
|
pretend they're down but they're against me |
|
think I touch everyone's heart untill it's empty |
|
take my chance as a possibility, no touchdown for a century |
|
regreting me, feeling me, that's why I'm waiting in the bushes |
|
if I dont than I delicate this to all pussies |
|
put yourself in my position, you dont know what you listen |
|
in these conditions most likely a body comes up missing |
|
when the lights come off, when you run away like mice |
|
than think twice if you dont hear your name from the book |
|
Chorus: life x4 (what life) that's life life life (that's life) |
|
Verse 3: can you handle friends, no my life is driving me insane |
|
but I'm a man, so I remain steady, cought up in the game |
|
make a deal with dicky jane for a little change |
|
run from your home, banging with your things out |
|
tripping on everybody, cousin get your thing out, we're ready to roll |
|
when it comes to, show no fear when they hunt you |
|
if you have to use gun foo, they ask for the one-two |
|
everything but the kids n'sync, act quickly dont think |
|
dont sink to the level then you gonna leave with the devil |
|
be quick in the race and try to keep a straight face |
|
and just when there's a new song I feel like I dont belong in this place |
|
hip hop is my profession, so I gotta keep on guessing |
|
make it black and white lack another in my session |
|
coming from the west, microphone is my blessing |
|
so I'm testing, check it, I'm talking about life, that life |
|
Chorus x2: life x4 (what life) that's life life life (that's life) |
|
Outro: I'm just trying to live my life, you try to live your life |
|
you want me to smack your face, give me my space |
|
it's all about style, I know you got style, life is all about it |
|
nothing lives without life, my life, your life, coast to coast life |
