Time it seems to fade away
A life is it nothing but a dream ?
I stand here as true as I was made
Am I a stranger to myself ?
I have feelings of times lost and shared
Moments of darkness in my head
Is there a place for You and me ?
Where nothing is for real
A spring of life that never ends
A glory for all to see
I have feelings of times lost and shared
Moments of darkness in my head
I've seen the light and I've
seen the fate
And I walked away
Still I'm ok
I remember the pain inside
from the day when my mother died
Never went away
It's still here today
[Chorus]
Ya born alone
Ya die alone
And still we live on
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
And my baby he went to sleep
in his mother's arms we pray to keep
He shyed away
He never lived a day
Best friend call me up to say
with a gun in his hand said he's goin' crazy
Said you'll be ok
he still died the next day
[Chorus]
Ya born alone
Ya die alone
And still we live on
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
I stood in line
I've lost my pride
I've made the change
I'm a better man today
Death brings life
Still we try
To live a better way
Before your dyin day
[Chorus]
Ya born alone
Ya die alone
And still we live on
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow is a vision
But today
it's a bitch
Yea yea
Yesterday is a memory
But today
it's a bitch
[fades]
Yea yea
Yesterday is a memory
tomorrow is a vision...
His wish of you is life His wish of me is life Don't even try! Your gonna fry! Two destinations at the end! Believe in
Christ you will not die! Life only found in JESUS CHRIST!
(A duration of an earthly existance)
(A specific phase of earthly existance)
(A sentence of imprisonment with the remaining quotient of a convicts existance)
(Life is a sequence of musical and mental experiences that make up the existance of an individual)
A sister wants a brother
Always trying to please another
Young girls wish that they were old
A petal wants to be its own rose
See life has such funny ways
But don't regret you came
See life is always changing
Yet life remains the same
So much to gain...
To win...to lose...to try
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
To heal...to feel...to be real
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
(Life, your life)
Empty pages will find words someday (someday)
A perfect person will disobey
You may never find true love
Why must one be taken advantage of...
See life has such funny ways
But don't regret you came
See life is always changing
Yet still remains the same
So much to gain
To win...to lose...to try
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
To laugh...to cry...to never
Oh yeah, it's all a part of life
To learn...to hope...to dream...to cope
To heal...reveal...to feel...to be real
It's all a part of life
Oh no, not without a fight
I won't give up...I won't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Sequence of physical and spiritual experience
Don't give up
Vital and functional - distinctly individual
Don't give up
Pattern of principal existing in reality
Don't give up
Of or relating to the animal mentality
Don't
Sometimes I Want To Run And Hide
But Today Luck€™s On My Side
Everything€™s Great Inside I Feel Good
Like The Way I Knew I Always Would
This Is The Best
Day Of My Life
Nothing Will Change
How I Feel
This Is The Best
Day Of My Life
It Might Not Last
And That€™s Ok
Those Times I Feel So Down And Blue
I Push On And See Them Thru
Everything€™s Fine Inside I Feel Good
Like The Way I Knew I Always Could
(Repeat First Chorus)
Those Time You Feel So Down And Grey
Just Move On And Start Your Day
Everything€™s Fine Inside You Feel Good
Like The Way You Knew You Always Would
This Is The Best
Day Of Your Life
Nothing Will Change
How You Feel
This Is The Best
Day Of Your Life
It Might Not Last
And That€™s Ok
Once again standin' here cryin out
Energy gone my insides dyin' out
Wishin' you was dead or somewhere lyin' out
Every time you open ya mouth lies flyin' out
Remember when we first met you wit' ya crew
Me wit' my girls doin' what we usually do
You wit' ya game comin' at me askin' my name
Knew it was love first sight you said it the same
Talked on the phone the whole night vibe feelin' so right
Every step pointin' to love the future so bright
Till this girl in my class told me she was pregnant
And that you was the dad
How she wasn't jealous of me or nothin' I had
How you cheated on her several times and treated her bad
And as she was tellin' me that my whole world collapsed
Feelin' like a fool still in love wit' you
[Chorus (2x):]
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
What tricks you gon' play now
Nothin' you could say cuz everything is clear now
I can see where I made my mistakes
Stayin' home a good girlfriend gimmie a break
I'd be home alone callin' you catchin' the shakes
Every minute till you call back adrealine raced
Left me hangin' on my birthday when I stayed at ya place
You came home the next morning
I just stared in ya face
Knew where you was actin' dumb it tore me apart
Took it out on your things put the key to your car
Felt like you had a knife all this pain in my heart
Deep down though still wishin' we could restart
For a second I was on top swore I had the cream
Rude awakeing nothin' come to sleepers but a dream
It's sinkin' in never really loved me and it seemed
What was I thinking I was only in my teens
[Chorus (2x):]
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
Nowadays when I see you I don't feel bad
Got a real love in my life you be a real dad
For once in ya life try doin' somethin' right
By now you should be ready to slow it down
Cuz you know what go 'round come back 'round
Even though it hurt to let you go I had to roll
A demon in disguise you was tryna take my soul
Couldn't make a move you was tryna take control
In a way I could only balme myself naive
I made the choice to be wit' you and no one else indeed
A picture in a broken frame upon the shelf indeed
Had to take a lil' time to know myself
Every now and then and then I start to reminisce wantin' ya kiss
Even though I know it's dangerous
Every now and then I start to reminisce
For real even though I know it's so dangerous
[Chorus (4x):]
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
[Jaguar:]
What a chick gotta do to get some love?
What I gotta do to say enough is enough?
What's the point of bein' wit somebody, that only bring ya down
Goin 'round and 'round
[Chorus (till end):]
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna' know
I had so much to say
I thought I knew the answers
But that seems so long ago
And I wish there was another way
That didn't hurt so much
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I've learned a lot so far
It's got me thinking
What will happen down the road?
Sure I'll make mistakes
But I'll keep dreaming
They might come true you never know
And I wish there was another way
That didn't make me cry
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I gotta long, long way to go
Where I'm goin' I don't know but
I'll be alright
Just you wait and see...
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna know
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
Ooh, Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Oh Life.
Oh Life.
I'm afraid of the dark.
Especially when I'm in the park.
When there's no one else around.
Oh I get the shivers.
I don't wanna see a ghost.
It's the sight that I fear most.
I'd rather have a piece of toast.
Watch the evening news.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
I'm a superstitious girl.
I'm the worst in the world.
Never walk under ladders.
I keep a rabbits' tail.
I'll take you up on a dare.
Anytime, anywhere.
Name the place, I'll be there.
Bungee jumping, I don't care.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life
So after all's said and done.
I know I'm not the only one.
Life indeed can be fun.
If you really want to.
Sometimes living out your dreams.
Ain't as easy as it seems.
You wanna fly around the world.
In a beautiful balloon.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
Oh life, oh life.
You're lying on the cross
They come up to you
Blood rushing through your veins
And you don't know what to do
They said you were crucified
For all of your sins
Now you're dead
Dead on the cross
Millions of people died in your name
Is this the way you make them feel your pain
Tv preachers tell us all
Your coming back to save man from his fall
I have my doubts
About what you say
Because it's hell
Living from day to day
[Royce talking]
Come here Royce
[Royce talking over chorus]
Come over here, sit down, let me talk to you
Right here, over here
Sit on daddy's lap
I want to tell you something
[Chorus: Amerie (Royce)]
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
(This is life)
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
[Royce]
Listen, yo
Little Royce Nickel Nine, eyes wide with sight
With a future as bright as the light in the eyes of Christ
Ready to take on the world and whatever is in it
Proof read, sign, and seal whatever you finish
I can only lead you while you're on your quest for knowledge
I'ma teach you to have sense and to respect the dollar
Hope for the best, and you'll see, your world will be solid
I'ma teach you the truth, even behind worldly logic
This is life, cut and dry, days is bright, nights is dark
Fights get sparked, it's almost like to get ahead
You got to be twice as smart, the realities of life is harsh
Just know that God's keeping you level
He'll even speak through the ghetto to reach you
Just to teach you that the streets is the devil
Everybody's dishonest, different
Which means that we're dying by livin'
Oblivious to the time that we're given
So you don't prepare for the death, you live for the life
And live right like, do right by your kids and your wife
Have fun as a child, yo them years is precious
The future brings fear and stresses as the year progresses
You're gonna turn a lot of them down, you're gonna feel rejection
You're gonna tell a lot of lies and you're gonna hear confessions
It's a two way street when you deal in his presence
Only your life can show that everything is real in this message
This is life
[Chorus: Amerie (Royce)]
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
(This is life)
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
[Royce]
Yo, the whole world is upon you, the pressure is on
And you can probably sum your life up the best when you're gone
Upon the creation of all men, destiny's born
For us to reproduce, so you can keep the legacy goin'
I know you think I'm Superman, but I got weaknesses too
I keep a firm leash on things by believing in you
And after I'm gone I live on breathing through you
And anything I had in this life, I leave it to you
Aim for the sky and fly till you come back down
I had you the baton and you run, till you come back 'round
Let your heart tell your temper, "Put that gun back down!"
Dry your tears up and turn that frown upside-down
It'd be plenty to cry for, think life, not death
You got much more to live for than to die for
But you got to stay humble
Cause just as hard as your work to get it
There's people working harder to take it from you
Cause life, something that people take for granted
As time passes, you're gonna want something back
But you won't get it cause history is made every second
So you crave every lesson and save every blessin'
No matter how you view the world yo, you never will get it
The world will be the world through the eyes of whoever is in it
But things ain't gonna always go right
Look at it like, yo this ain't your day, but this your life, and live
Life
[Chorus: Amerie (Royce)]
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
(This is life)
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone, it's a lonelier place
[Amerie]
There will be trials and tribulations
But don't let them, don't let them, don't let them bring you down
I said you better keep going to your destination
After your darkest hour the sun will come around
[Royce talking]
This is life
Yo I don't care, I don't care if this song don't sell one copy
That's not even what it's for
It's for you, my boy
This is life
[Amerie singing in the background]
You gotta keep going on, you gotta keep moving on
Be strong, be strong, be strong
Cause this is life
Hey kid
Hasn't love bit you lately?
Well maybe
Still yet to come to fulfil and erase
Yeah raise
And circumstances dancing around my head
It's the way to your soul that holds me alive
Life, life
We forced up the fear
That's why we're wandering
Life, life, life, life life
Just hold on my dear
Isn't that why we're here, love?
Life, life, life, life life
My baby she knows
The weight that I'm under
Life, life, life, life life
Life, sweet life
I could slowly seek and wonder
Many do erase from the eye
I could slowly seek and wonder
Many do erase from the eye
I could slowly seek and wonder
Many do erase from the eye
Life, life, life, life
We forced up the fear
That's why we're wandering
Life, life, life, life life
Just hold on my dear
Isn't that why we're here, love?
Life, life, life, life life
My baby she knows
The weight that I'm under
Life, life, life, life life
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
Life
Hold on tight to the life
Life, life, life, life
It's going to be our little trial
Life, life, life, life
It's going to be our little trial
Life, life, life, life
And she
Holds me alive
Life, life, life, life
Sometimes I feel I can't make it
In this world on my own
So hard to see my direction
But you gave me something to help me be strong
(chorus)
You gave me joy
yes you did, yes you did, yes you did
You are my peace of mind oh ou oh
You are my life
yes you are, yes you are yes you are
and now for you Lord I lift my life oh Lord
At last my horizons are sunny
My pain has been erased
A new outlook a brighter day
Since you smiled down on my spirit
All my burdens washed away yeah
I'm born again
Blessed and safe
(chorus)
With every heartfelt melody
and every song of praise I sing to you
Somethin stirs inside of me,
It's the love you have for me
That is why I dedicate my life
to you....
(chorus)
Originally performed by Metallica
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found me
Battery
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the Battery
so, this was your life ? let's think about it,
let's take a look back, before you die !
what do you think ? too less, too much ?
was it all right ? was it enough?
too lucky, too depressed ? too quiet, too much stress?
too rich, or too poor ? too safe , too unsure ?
too warm or cold ? too young or too old ?
or was it just all right ???
have you loved enough,
have you hated enough ?
have you worked enough,
have you disturbed enough ?
have you learned enough,
have you created enough ?
have you cried enough,
have you laughed enough ?
no you haven't lived enough !
you have not lived enough !
life ! back to your life !
life ! back to the other side !
do you think it's enough for the end of your life ?
do you think it's this is the right time to die ?
that this is right the moment for a suicide ?
no, I won't let you go, you won't say good bye !
no, you haven't seen enough !
you have not changed enough !
life ! back to your life !
life ! back to the other side !
there's too much to do for you in this world
so come on let's take this second chance
come one let's take this second chance
to start everything new again
and I will let you know, when the time is right
yeah I will let you know, when the time is right
life ! back to your life !
life ! back to the other side !
back to your life !
back to the other side !
back and change your life
back and change your mind
back and change it
back and change it all !
Numbness, see your fingers turn purple, would you rather burn?
Catching your breath, I'll let you choose your death
Cast your life of agony, I'll dump your body in the sea
I'll drown you while laughing, you know I will destroy you
If chainsaws are your fantasy, I'll cut your body into three
Slicing and grinding, you know that life's not binding
So strangulation is your game, you know I always please to maim
My service to you, to watch your face turn blue
I know your mind, it must be yielding, I'll throw you off a real-tall
building
You can't be found, you're splattered on the ground
I'll still your wrist and let you die, you know they'll call it suicide
Blood on the ceiling, I know how you are feeling
If you'd like to be cremated or maybe decapitated
Speak up now or I'll decide just how
Now you've waited way too long, I knew your mind was not that strong
you've list your chance, so I will choose your death
*(Chorus)*
Sumtime life pulls us down
Help yo peeps when their down
And if tha system holds you back
Just keep on kickin and don't look back
I had a brotha who was in tha thang
He made his money with tha klick who had to have the same game
Money was the main domain
(Don't let em' keep you down Oo--h N-oo)
Didn't give a damn about nobody but his pockets and the ones that got him paid
Always had a bullet
For when he caught an enemy or playa hata tryin to take his spot he had to pull it
My brotha was a wanted man
Wanted by the other man
Taking all tha non-believers out
That was tha plan
Cuz Bookie used to hang with him
And all tha time spent neva neglected
Never really said a word
Never disrespected
But worried in my mind tho
Cuz maybe one of these days somebody might decide to make my brotha die slow
Or fast
Leave him layin dead with his cash
Then I get the bloody news that my brother passed
Sorry to say
R.I.P. it's non-fiction
Much Love to my brotha won't ya'll listen
*(Chorus)*
Me and my homie used to be tha hoods
2 little devils on the rampage didn't care ??? good
My homie was a needle freak
And everytime I went to see him had a different personality for every week
We used to make our money daily
And me bein tha partner in crime
To every victim it was paid
Maybe cuz we had tha erge
To make our money off the well paid independent workers with tha nerve
My homie didn't give a damn
Co-operation was a big deal for the ones he jacked ???
I couldn't understand the hate up in his eyes
I'm strictly jackin for tha fun
He do it to survive
The only person who cared about his life was in tha mirror
Thinkin to himself "I'll dye alone...it's gettin nearer"
Only person that realy care about his life was me
But a bad case a needle made my homie shoot tha O.D.
*(Chorus)*
The last story's bout this sista Kim
Who lived around the corner of my block
With 2 kids, a little her and him
No help from tha brotha man
Tha sucker left her their with 2 kids and no ???
The option was the otha man
Barely survivin
Doin what she could
So in tha meanwhile baloney sandwhiches was all good
Tha 50 dollas every month not good enough
She had to pay tha rent
Now money started gettin tough
She got a man
Who did her kinda good in tha beggining
Then he beat her down took control and he was winning
For a second tho
Cuz see tha brotha had a gun
Now she's doin 5 to 10 like a murda one
With tha kids in tha child care
She kinda sad
But knowin that they got a meal a day that made her glad
And knowin that they alright that made her day
So all she can do now is pray
Sumtime life pulls us down
Help yo peeps when their down
And if tha system holds you back
Just keep on kickin and don't look back
Don't let it keep you down
Whoa whoa
Don't Let it
Don't let it keep you down
Whoa whoa
Yeah
Never hope nor choice
Emotionless and cold
This is life
Illusions shattered
An existance of lies
Constant struggle
Freedom denied
At their feet
Submission
No sanctuary in death
Drugged up fucked up
Is that all you're worth?
Life
Will go on without me
Take it and you'll see it doesn't matter
Life
I know what your game is
You take it and trade it for another
Life
Before you're over
I want something to show for all my trouble
Time come on in
I want you back again
Where're you goin' now?
I thought you'd know somehow...
Life
If you keep goin'
I'll try to throw in a little love
Life
I can't do without you
There's something about you that keeps me goin'
Life
I don't wanna stop now
I've been through so much now because of you
Tell me life...what are you here for?
Tell me life...I wanna know more
Tell me life...what are we here for?
Just like a birdie
I just wanna fly free
And own a piece of land
Somewhere, somewhere off in the country
Oh, oh yeah, listen
Temperature's like a hundred degrees
Like I got chains on me
Blackmail and a family of three
Been right on my destiny
Rake it out fly way
Cuz it's too much for the man
Shouldn'ta gone down this way
What happened to my master plan
Cuz I can't figure out
I coulda been a love child
Shouldn'ta gone down this way
Tell me, how did I get life
[1] - Life, life
Life, life
Life, life
Life, life
Oh, somebody done done me wrong (Done me wrong)
My eyes to the ceiling all night long (All night long)
Time is slippin' away from me (Away from me)
And it ain't no tellin' when I get home
I gotta get home, yeah
Just about to see the dollar sign,
thats close to a piece of mind
and everything was about to be fine
So tell me, so how'd I get life
[Repeat 1]
Everything that I hoped for is gone now
Buried in the ground
Hopes and dreams and all those things
I'll never see, said I'll never see
(Somebody gave me life)
[Repeat 1 until fade]
A heart can break so easily
Friendship is forever
We'll stick together as one
'Cause we'll show them just what
we can
And he'll never, never, never
Treat you better anyway
Wipe away your big tears
The boy is just not worth it
Listen to what I have to say:
Chorus:
Life
Will never be the same
Will never be the same
If you take control
I tell you girl
Will never be the same
Will never be the same
If you rule your world
And then you'll feel that
You'll make it better on your own
A friend is there beside you
To share your ups and downs
Call me up when you need
And I'll make you
forget that cloud
And I'll always, always
Keep you smiling if I can
Let's go out together
And have some fun tonight
Listen to what I have to say
Chorus.
Bridge:
Trust your heart and swear
That you'll always be proud
I'm telling you once again
that you are P.R.E.T.T.Y.
And don't believe anything else
Life ever changing it's hidden reality
But then in a moment we see
Is this just a shadow
Of the spirit planes we've yet to see
Lord come soon for me
If I was once in heaven
Who cast me to this hell?
Am I a fallen angel, a coin in the
Bottom of a wishing well?
I know that life's a gift
A shadow of the spirit plane
But my flesh is weak and the
World would have my spirit break
Life is pure beauty
Through eyes we see
But the Kal force
Has power of flesh, lust and greed
The power to guide it
We can't control
We can be in it, but only through soul
Innocents born from heaven learn life's reality
Through choosing Christ's spirit we're free
If you can find heaven on this earthly plane
Your soul is mature, may fly home again
Your task is complete, your spirit now pure
Leave planet hell from satan's lure
But if you're still a prisoner
To the pleasures of your flesh
Relive this carnal death
Life everlasting though the body soon must cease
Through soul find eternal peace
Life isn't over though the body's met it's fate
Spirit burns, it's never too late
Life did you make it all it could be?
Fates warning was never heard
Though tongues of fire spoke his word
You were a fool
[CHORUS:]
L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insurities my head down in these streets
F my future there isn't 1
E Eternal hope
This is my life
I wake up every day to the same old foster mother
I ain't got no pictures of my mother
She was a crack fiend nothing like pot mother
She didn't make a difference if though she
Could've I'm a shame shame of my life
Pappa cracky sold me twice
On a late night stopped by
And look in my eyes
Bags from the tears that I've cried
And the people who lied
Telling me that this is my place
Phony & try smile In my face
When I should have know something
Was rare smiled when she opened the mail
Kept a nice mink on her back
Meanwhile I got a goose & my goose got patches
I'm so mad this is me
I'm so hurt this is me
So I shouldn't be
Well I goin be alright cause
[CHORUS]
I'm pregnant by a dude & he not 16
But I like his style & his whipp is mean
My mama told me to find a man to take care
Of me & he does buy me things but he beats on me
I come to her for a little advice
So I show up with a black eye
Telling me to know my place so I stay
Waiting for my body phase
Telling myself it just a little pregnancy phase
When all in reality I'm being discourage & disrespected
And under the pressure & I don't really blame the man
I blame my mother for not teaching me the different types of man
Life could never understand my side of story being that it's so consist 18 years
And 9 months developing raised in a prison I guess I'll never make a difference
[CHORUS]
Born on to another is the least
Of my problems
Parents like deja vu
My stomach is starving
3 months pregnant idiotically I departed
So ashame of a life that was started
I ask god if he can take the pain away
He made me in denial of every word I pray
Every day it's the same old no talent I'm feeling like
My life is unbalanced no telling what tomorrow going look
Like yea right wrapped up in a fast light for a sudicial
Act why is my life set up for a failure I can care
Less with the people say to ya'll we break out
In rage venting all the hurt inside who am I
To tell you what you fail to realize the voice that you hold
Within you the voice that you are
The Voice Of The Young People!
[CHORUS]
Life...life...
Life is a series of impossible dreams, yeah
Full of disappointment and it ain't what it seems
Everybody's pulling you a different way
You want to close your eyes and make it all go away
But what you gonna do when the rent comes do
And the dollars in your wallet are numbered few
Or your neighbor comes knocking on your front door
He wants the mower that you borrowed
The night before your garage burned down
Your boss is screaming
'Cause he walked in your office and
He found you on top of your desk asleep
But what you gonna do that's life!
CHORUS
Life! Too much to do and too much strife
Life! Your girlfriend left ya and it cuts life a knife
Life! Seventy years and a nagging wife
Life! You look in the mirror and it's Barney Fife
(What do you mean by that? [First Time])
You wrecked your buddy's car and
You cracked your head!
It wouldn't have happened if you'd looked ahead and braked
But your mind was racing
'Cause you was thinkin
'Bout chasing that girl who turned you down
Everybody's talking 'bout it
All over town
But then things just get worse
You look in the mirror and you think it's a curse
Your hair is falling out on your pillow and all through the house
But what you gonna do that's life!
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Life is a dirty trick
If you listen to the devil's lies
But life is another man's treasure
If he's given it up to Christ
Now wait a minute buddy
My story ain't done
God said it all when He gave the world His only Son
To die on the cross
Just when you think that all is lost
There's hope for all mankind
Just give it to Him
And you can't find life more abundantly
And that's the only reason for life!
REPEAT CHORUS
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna' know
I had so much to say
I thought I knew the answers
But that seems so long ago
And I wish there was another way
That didn't hurt so much
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I've learned a lot so far
It's got me thinking
What will happen down the road?
Sure I'll make mistakes
But I'll keep dreaming
They might come true you never know
And I wish there was another way
That didn't make me cry
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I gotta long, long way to go
Where I'm goin' I don't know but
I'll be alright
Just you wait and see...
I learned a lot today
You've been teachin'
Things that I don't wanna know
I'm learning that I can say goodbye
I'm learning that I can be strong inside
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
I'm ready, I'm ready to get it right
I'm learning about.. Life
Made of love
Made of sin
Mayday - calling form outer space
I dive in
Here I am
Breathing, I`m a miracle
I`m on fire - I`m cold
I can`t be controlled
I`m alive and I`m dead
And I`m ready for the take off
Life! Life!
Shocking irresistible
Life! Life!
Crazy unpredictable
You go Hu Hu Hu
If you want some action
Shocking irresistible
Got no fear
I feel no pain
Only blood rushing on its way
Through my veins
Here I am
Breathing, I`m invincible
I am great but I`m small
I`m a brick in a wall
I`m alive and I`m dead
And I`m ready to take off
Big bang beating a distant drum
Hear the echoes fill the night
Big bang making the walls come down
For the children of the light
I dive right in...
Life, this is an outrageous life,
We're living in.
We call this turmoil our life,
Oh, and it's gettin' old coming over again.
But we don't hear nobody,
Say what they're after.
And we don't hear nobody,
Searching for answers.
John Kennedy died,
They thought he had a solution.
We want to know,
What happened to the revolution.
Did we all get hung up in life.
And do we all know,
Just where were going.
Everything's wrong,
So a change has got to be right (man, baby).
Life, for all the rest of our life,
Will we be wrapped up in strife.
Or, are we gonna start it all over again.
We want to have somebody,
Come up with the answers.
We want to be somebody,
That know's what their after.
We hope that everybody,
Can hear what I'm sayin'.
We know that we will,
If we just keep on prayin'.
CHORUS
Learning to share what were standing on.
Learning to care 'cus it's been so long.
No one so big that they have it all.
We've got to give to the very small.
Life, Give me the rest of my life,
I want to finish it right.
So, I don't have to start all over again.
Let's get together,
For some satisfaction.
Let's stand together,
On a chain reaction.
We need somebody,
We could really depend on.
Don't wait till tomorrow,
'Cause it just might be too long.
CHORUS
I too have sung Death's praise
But I'm not going to sing that song anymore
Yes, I've figured out what living is all about
It's life! life!
Life is the only thing worth living for
Yes life! life!
Life is the only thing worth...
Life! life!
(I know it has it's ups and downs)
Tie my hands and torture me
Until I find the meaning of my life
The light that I see can you take me there
To the meaning of my life
1234
This is how fast time goes by
I can't seem to find the meaning of my life
Here one day and gone the next
You can't afford to live or die tonight
The light that I see can you take me there
To the meaning of my life
How hard does it have to be
To live in this perfect world
Why is it so hard
So hard to be
Who you want to be
When you're searching for your soul
[Bobo]
Once again
We're back
It's the big bad Cypress Hill
You know what time it is
[Beat fades in]
[5x] Whoop
Legalize it,
Cypress Hill will ever die at the end
Legalize it, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
Cypress Hill never dies
Never dies, never dies
[Chorus: B Real and Sen Dog]
Once Upon,
[B-Real singing]
Bugaboo L.I.F.E (Now Here it is )
Why, Why, Why (Bo Bo Bo Bo)
Cypress is still here
We're of those glad MCees
Still Puffin Weed, Weed
Why Diddely Why
Why, Why, Why
[B Real]
Never fucked like this
But I smoke blunts like this
People ask: Why you pull stunts like this
Cuz I believe in doing what I got' a
A lot' a people don't understand nada
The Mic burns
You was at
It turn's to a slaughter
You wanna think about chilling the fuck out,
You all gonna Top Allah, Pop collar,
Niggas, Latin Thungs
All my family love barillas
Beginners get pushed to back of the pack
Invented and lend out, without not a tech
You're on the top of the game
But you work on a name till one day
To put us in the walk of fame
Don't call a name to recall the fame
Eventually Dru is in the Hall of Fame
You know what the deal is,
You know what the heal is,
You know who the Real is,
You know what my skill is,
[Chorus: B Real and Sen Dog]
[Humming, Sen Dog: Sighing]
[Sen Dog]
I get mental
This ain't no pad and a pencil
Throw the microphone,
My homey get tensed up
I tag the cheque, like I got nothing to lose (That's right)
I test myself, just shut up and proof
That C-Y-P-R-E-S-S
Got you funky, while I'm real deaf
Put it to the sess, and you will confess
Soul Assassins is the best
Check it homeboy, got to spot cracking (crackin)
Six LP, from that ThugDogLatin
Turn the heat up, and keep it hot
Always give ya mo', and then thank
We got to freak the Hip Hop and the hot ride
I'm on to make shows and can't hide
Had first 'self titled', became an Idol
*Spanish* in a Sub town barrio
[Chorus: B Real and Sen Dog]
[Sen Dog]
Now Here it is
Bo Bo Bo Bo
Yeah, it's like this..
Chubb Rid-dock, nine-seven on lid-dock
Son, rock..
[Chorus: Billy Lawrence *sung*]
Do you know, where you're goin to?
Do you like the things that life is showin you?
Where are you goin to?
Do you know, what you're lookin for?
Do you like the things that life has in store?
Chubb holds it down for sure..
[Chubb Rock]
Ever since mom kissed me and said, ";Seek life!";
My mind had an idea like that kid with the kite
No 'caine slingin, strong-arm bringin check my eyes
Redness done, so I can script ";My Life"; like Mary Blige
I've, been around the world in 90 days, pro-rated
Like Prince no shame for that past few Sheila's I've dated
Made it, with only one but I'm foreshadowing the rhyme
Like a nice Pirollo(?) wine, life takes time
I'm, one of two and to see it a one who's part of many
The quarters of my thoughts will cost more than a damn penny
Any debate we can correlate as to my release date
A nine-seven slate, New York state will have to check me
It's been some time since the break of the dawn
The genre has definitely changed since I've been gone
Whether, bad or good the flow remain tight
So I can come and drop my li-ight, li-ight
[Chorus]
[Chubb Rock]
Well in the past black men used to work for (?)
My age group was plotting to obtain Dead Nixons
The plot, had three vectors for young prospectors
School, entertain, or become Hannibal Lectors
Stressors, used to stress the best, cess wine
But at that particular time I chose to use my mind
Goody too, size twelve shoe the Troy Ave grew
Waited 'til, after eighteen to introduce the brew
Downed the suds and gave a street buzz
High in the +Forrest+ but stupid is as, stupid does
And, that's all I have to say about that
Flipped a Pulitzer prize script and started rap
Simplistic at first, and the knowledge came later
Rob-ski, Dave Wit, and Swanny on the fader
The struggle was on but the fame was in sight
And the tunnel had a light that distinguished my life
[Chorus]
[Chubb Rock]
The low point was mad low when I lost James Los
Spent eighteen years livin next to this high-pro bro
and that's all I got to say, about that
While I give thanks to the man that my brother and I'm back
Onward, to the medals while the boys aged the mix
to the mental utopia, so walk past the six
and the rhyme and the flow, must stay real tight
like it's always been in my li-i-ife, my life
[Chorus]
[Master P]
You know what?
This ghetto got me so crazy
My life, it almost feel like I'm a phone call or ring away from death
Ain't this fucked up
Big Ed, tell a story of the streets
[Big Ed]
My nigga Jay got his ass snatched, why wasnt he strapped
Kidnapped by four niggas dressed in black
Ahh dats it, They called his momma
Told her, no joke, we got your son, she updated me on da drama
Her voice trembled, she was hysterical
The bounty was a hundred G's
for her to ante up, it would take a miracle
Shes very spiritual
She got on her knees and prayed to god that I would help her yo
We'll get em back, I do anything to help my dawg
Try to relax, I hit you back, let me make some calls
For situations like this,
I keep a safe full of money with 100 round clips
I told my lady, get the cash and the mags
No questions asked we filled it up in a duffle bag
I through in my camoflauge fatiques
My A-R, a hand grenade, and an ounce of weed
Head out the front, put the bag in the truck right next to the M-1
And the pistol grip pump
Hit ma dawgs on the celly mercenary group of killers
We're methodical niggas with infered triggers
Put the Lexus in reverse, and let's roll double 0
Limo tint big body black four do'
Meet V-90 at the diner with Burt bought my bad ass hoe China
Who smoke this dope out her vagina
Chocolate, jet black hair , slanted eyes you shoulda seen her
Bad ass body look, flexible like a ballarina
Seated at a booth, three niggas with broad and bullet proofs
Met for combat, made more calls, met up the troop
I told em Jay got snatched
The Dowen boys got connects on silencers for gats
Bring me four, meet me by Jay mom's crib
I'll be there in ten, it's time to get it how we live
When I got there she said that the jackers know about me
That I got cheese with the Miller boys at the Calliope
Now they want two fifty, it's cool though
It's time to act a fool though, heard a knock at the front door
Reach up my shirt and put the gat to the peep hole
(Who is it?) It's my nigga Boz, open up the door
And Red nigga, these niggas down to kill nigga
But hold up, the plot gets thicker
He said, Jay's a trick ass nigga, nobody snatched the nigga
He's plottin on me, tryin to get richer
He's hiding at the Motel Six, room two twenty
How many hoes in this world, man nigga plenty
Boz got this hoe named wendy, stripper slash dancer
Red met her at Chocolate Sixty in Atlanta
She got a twin sister Candy, Boz hooked Candy to Jay
Jay fell in love with the hoe and got a baby on the way
But he's broke and busted, down and out disgusted
Scheming on me, him and Candy discussed it
Candy told Wendy, and Wendy told Red
Red told me my nigga Jay wants me dead
Not my nigga, but I gotta investigate
We drove to the Motel Six, seen his car, checked the liscense plate
(Yeah that's him) See what happens when you try to pack fair
Peeped in the window, seen Jay gettin rolled in the chair
That's that hoe Candy, workin it backwards
Lookin at her titties got my dick hard like she's a private dancer
Kicked the door down, his pants down, my gat in his face
Pushed the hoe off the nigga and shot his dick off his waist
And that naked hoe Candy pussy is wide open
Jay can't believe she betrayed him, his eyes is wide open
Jay tell me why nigga, before you die nigga
I would have gave you some money, didn't have to lie nigga
But I can't kill ya cause a nigga love you too much
So V-90 shoot him in his head and throw him in his own trunk
Watch your click (watch your click)
Cause niggas switch when you get rich
That tek and ski mask cause life's a bitch
[Verse 1:]
Baby I found your letter today
Oh it was so beautiful
Declaring your undying love
So poetically
But it wasn't written for me
So I guess I wasn't supposed to see
Although last night you were loving me
Wanting to spend your life with me
Why couldn't you just talk to me
And say, “J, you're not the one”
Instead a F-ing wid my head
And now I want you dead
No matter what the consequence
[Chorus:]
Said I'm bout to do life for you
Got this live or die love for you
And I swear if I can't have you
Then nobody will, nobody will
I'm prepared to do life for you
Put my ass on death row for you
Cos I swear if I can't have you then,
Nobody can, nobody can
[Verse 2:]
Baby what does she do that I don't?
Only one thing I can think of
She's whore and will go where I won't
Tell me why do I
Stand here with this ring on my finger
Is it nothing but you're just another confused
*@!X$* How could you lead me on?
And make me tell daddy you're the one
She can't love you like I do
But you don't love me like I love you so
[Chorus:]
Said I'm bout to do life for you
Got this live or die love for you
And I swear if I can't have you
Then nobody will, nobody will
I'm prepared to do life for you
Put my ass on death row for you
Cos I swear if I can't have you then,
Nobody can, nobody can
[Middle eight:]
This cannot be the ending, on you I'm depending
This eternal love's in my heart
We just can't be apart, I'm gonna hold on forever
And let you leave me never
You've ripped out my heart, I'm definitely dying
I'm taking you with me, and there no denying
[Chorus:]
Said I'm bout to do life for you
Got this live or die love for you
And I swear if I can't have you
Then nobody will, nobody will
I'm prepared to do life for you
Put my ass on death row for you
Cos I swear if I can't have you then,
Nobody can, nobody can
[Chorus till end]
Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
Love can take you by the hand
Love can drop you where you stand
But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
Life you make it what it is
Love can change it with a kiss
She can turn your head around
He can lift you off the ground
But still you want to have it all
You like to live it up
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
But still you want to have it all
I thought you had enough
Love you make it what it is
Life can change it with a kiss
Life, it's the only thing that you get for free
Free is what we all want to be
Take a walk around the block til you see
Everything you want life to be
Tell your mother, beg your father
Respect your sister, talk to your brother
Don't wait don't bother, don't try to save it
Sooner or later, you will discover
Oh life is for sure, but it's for sure, you can make it (2x)
It's the love alive gets that is both
Love it's the only dream in my heart and soul
Easier to dream than it is to cry
When you're in love goodbye
Tell your mother, beg your father
Respect your sister, talk to your brother
Don't wait don't bother, don't try to save it
Sooner or later, you will discover
Oh life is for sure, but it's for sure, you can make it (2x)
Beg your father
Don't wait don't bother
Sooner or later, you will discover
You will discover
Tell your mother
Respect your sister, talk to your brother
Don't wait don't bother
You will discover
Go thank your mother, thank your father..
People in power waste their time
to young and creative, to lives of crime.
Logic's a tool so very unusual,
we all had enough of the crack abuse.
It's time to change our nation's rules.
Freedom's a right, ignored by fools.
We choose our selves between right and wrong.
We've got to be free, we've got to be strong.
[chorus]
Life - could be so beautiful
if truth were known.
And life should be so wonderful
but it sears our soul.
Life - could be so beautiful.
Make your life your own.
They lived their life in a love-shy city.
They got no cure, they got no pity.
They got no taste, they got no vision
and gilted by their own malicement.
Tris jumped down for some fleet street clown
for straight lies as they come down.
All we need is a sense of truth
so why lay the blame on this nation's youth?
[chorus]
Make your life your own.
Freedom's a right not privilege.
Life never ending all transcending.
Play the game by the rules of ending.
Never surrender. Lecture be spender.
Train for hours. Hacienda.
[chorus] [x3]
Life
"Think about it"
Everybody has troubles
And everybody's troubles are different than others
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high and it'll be alright
Life
Everybody has troubles
And everybody's troubles are different than others
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high and it'll be alright
Life
Everybody has troubles
Life's a constant struggle
Yo, Step into reality, it's a cold cold world
You got to learn to accept it, feels like I've been neglected
All these bands coming out and they sound alright
All these videos on tv and they look alright
I spent my whole life spilling my guts between the lines
Putting in more work than you will ever know than when I rhyme
Tryin to press the people so I can reach the masses
Give them what they want with this pen that's plastic (Life)
I got a message I'm a put it in a bottle
Sign the bottom of the paper and let the whole world swallow
Today can be tomorrow, ain't no telling when I'm leaving
I'm a rock this microphone even when I'm barely breathin'
When you start sleepin, D-loc starts creepin
When you actin a fool, D-loc's always thinking
Be clever when you play me because it's comin back to hull
I can feel my heats rising and it's pissin me off
And when it's pissin me off I got no choice
But to crack snap back at you like a chain reaction
I'm gettin older dog you better watch your mouth
You better think before you speak on the mic or get knocked out
It's been a minute and your shit better stop
Bring your punk ass back to Cali, bitch ass get popped
You ain't never in Cali, wonder why they don't accept you
Your sound's getten flopped, plus you got a fuckin attitude
Life
Life's a constant struggle
I was never really understood, had alot of misunderstandings
Not too many saw my plan, so it left me standing in my own two shoes
Now what the fuck was I suppose to do?
Givin a fight, be a man or take my life
To make ends meet I did more wrongs than rights
Couldn't hold a job, I can't handle being bossed
In and out of rehabs, from border schools I was tossed
Started hanging with the wrong crowd
Caught slanging by my pops and got thrown out
On my own once again I had to make it happen
That's just a little of my life before I started rappin'
But I always kept in touch with my dog Dustin
That's the one friend that I never stopped trusting
Next thing you know I'm living over at his pad
Me and him and Saint we was workin for his dad
Drinkin tallboys after work every night
Takin hits in the garage out of metal pipes
Working long ass hours no 9 to 5
But you gotta do what it takes to survive
That's around the time that we met Daddy X
And ever since then we've been on a new quest
Kottonmouth was formed so it began a new chapter
Of my life that I'm livin til I'm in the after after
Life
Everybody has troubles
And everybody's troubles are different than others
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high and it'll be alright
Life
Everybody has troubles
And everybody's troubles are different than others
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high and it'll be alright
Life
Everybody has troubles
"Think about it"
Life's a constant struggle
"Think about it"
Life
Everybody has troubles
"Think about it" "Think about it" "Think about it"
Life's a constant struggle
But keep your head high
And it'll be alright
"Think about it"
Life
It seems so hard to stay so positive
I know how it feels
It just takes time something's gotta give
Don't let the negative
Steal the blue out of the sky
Don't leave it all behind
This is life this is it
It's not everything you want
It's everything you get believe it
It's not worth leaving
Yea this is life once again
It's been knocking at your door
You ought to let it in
Don't waste it it's time you faced it
It seems like years
Since you've known happiness
So down so long
So calm your fears
And you'll get out of it
Just hang on
So this is life this is it
It's not everything you want
It's everything you get believe it
It's not worth leaving
Yea this is life once again
It's been knocking at your door
You ought to let it in
Don't waste it it's time you faced it
Why do you cry?
Why do you cry?
Steal the blue out of the sky
Don't leave it all behind
This is life once again
It's been knockin at you door
Don't waste it it's time you faced it
This is life this is it
It's not everything you want
It's everything you get believing
It's not worth leaving
Yea this is life once again
It's been knocking at your door
You ought to let it in don't waste it
It's time you faced it
This is life
This is life
Don't let it pass you by, pass you by
It's time you faced it
It's time you turned around and faced it
I’m afraid of the dark
‘Specially when I’m in a park
And there’s no-one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers
I don’t want to see a ghost
It’s a sight that I fear most
I’d rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news
Chorus: Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doot doot dooo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doot doot dooo
I’m a superstitious girl
I’m the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders
I keep a rabbit’s tail
I’ll take you up on a dare
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I don’t care
Bungee jumping, I don’t care
Chorus: Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doot doot dooo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doot doot dooo
So, after all’s said and done
I know I’m not the only one
Life indeed can be fun
If you really want to
Sometimes living out your dreams
Ain’t as easy as it seems
You wanna fly arount the world
In a beautiful balloon
Chorus: Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doot doot dooo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doot doot dooo
Life, go on without me
Take it and you'll see
It doesn't matter
Life, I know what your game is
You take it and trade it
For another
Life, before you're over
I want something to show for
All my trouble
Time, come on in
I see you're back again
Where you goin' now
I thought you'd know somehow
Life, if you keep goin'
I'll try to throw in
A little love
Life, I can't do without you
There's something about you
That keeps me goin'
Life, I don't wanna stop now
I've been through so much now
Because of you
Tell me life
What are you here for
Tell me life
I wanna know more
Tell me life
What are we here for
Life
Have I accomplished anything,
have I caused anyone to sing
A happy song?
Life
I've lived it every day
I've lived it every way
Though some of it was wrong
Some of it's been fast
I've lived a happy past
I don't regret a thing you see
After all is said and done,
I've lived each moment one by one
Life's been good to me
Life
If I have caused on tear to fall
It was unknown
Life
If there are tears that must fall yet
I pray that, life, you'll let them be my own
I've enjoyed it as I should
And every day of its been good
Since life began
So when it comes time for the end
I'd like to live it all again
'Cause life you've been my friend
I've enjoyed it as I should
And every day of its been good since life began
So when it comes time for the end
I'd like to live it all again
'Cause life you've been my friend.
How many times have you been pushed around?
Was anybody there?
Does anybody care?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Was anybody there?
Did anybody stare?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart
Just open up your mind
How many times has your faith slipped away?
Well, is anybody safe?
Does anybody pray?
Oh, Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we'll survive
How many days have you just slept away?
Is everybody high?
Is everyone afraid?
How many times have you wished you were strong?
Have they ever seen your heart?
Have they ever seen your pain?
Oh, Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we'll survive
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, all her life
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, all her life
Oh, Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we'll survive
All messed up, but we'll survive
