Life

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
