Well you can tell
by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man
no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I've been kicked around
since I was born
And now it's all right, it's ok
and you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
(chorus)
Whether you're a brother
or whether you're a mother
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin
and everybody shakin'
and were stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive
Well now I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin man and I just can't lose
You know it's all right, it's ok
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
(chorus)
Life goin' nowhere

Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere

Somebody help me, yeah
Stayin' alive
Well you can tell

[Spice 1:]
We don't fuck around, we hit a nigga up with them desert eagles
187 hero Z-Ro, and Fetty Chico
Blooow, I'm a jedi in these ghetto star wars
Now watch your shoes when you stepping, Maybach with the mink floors
Mr. Bossilinie, cut two eye holes in the beanie
But I'm as quickly as pistols, never personal mayn believe me
Throwing boat loads like Bolo, in Enter the Dragon
Walking the ground pants sagging, hit niggaz with black talons
Ghetto smiling, niggaz ain't seen me in a while'n
I'm just trying to survive, just trying to stay alive'n
Bossed out like Boss Hogg, keep bitches in Daisie Dukes
Put slugs in niggaz, why they trying to put up they dukes
So I ain't trying to worry bout, what if they shoot
I pull the super soaker out, and wet up they coupe bloow
[Hook:]
Nine to five, I'm staying alive staying alive
It's a full time job, just trying to survive trying to survive
Nine to five, I'm staying alive staying alive
It's a full time job, just trying to surviiiiive
[Z-Ro:]
Fuck a nigga fuck a bitch, I'm just concerned about my scratch
And if my trap running low, it's time to whip up another batch
Bag it up and take it to the block, I can't forget my gat
Just in case one of these bitch ass niggaz, decide to jack
Not bragging or nothing, but these hands I gotta lay you flat
Like a tension reliever, you gon stretch out and then relax
Seem like the mo' realer I keep it, the mo' I get stabbed in my back
Y'all niggaz don't see Joseph McVey, y'all niggaz just see a rap
Y'all niggaz don't know how many times, I done went without food
Without shelter without clothing, real poverty is mind blowing
Sleeping outside, can fuck with your pride
In most cases its a decision, whether you gon roll over or ride
Not to mention the pop-po's pull us over, when we standing still
I promise I'll pop this mo'fucker, if I could grab the steel
Be digging these ditches, and dodging bullets from nine to five
Pick up yourself Joe
Tell all the rest there is a way out
If you want to get out
Help me out
Everybody thinks he knows theway out
But nobody dares that's why we're
stuck in the ground
Help me out
Staying alive with a trigger in your
head
Staying alive with a trigger in your
head
Welcome, welcome to the real side
of life
Everybody's smiling, nobody's
crying
But everybody's kniving everyone
from the back
Wake up little boy
'Cause you're living in your dreams
Open your eyes to the real side of
life
Staying alive with a trigger...
I try to be good (yes you are)
But no one seems to care (oh here
he goes again)
The harder I try (you never tried)
The more they try to break me (you
never tried anything you)
I try to be good (oh here he goes
again)
But no one seems to care
The harder I try (I told you to do
what they told you)
The more they try to break me (you
damn kid)
Welcome, welcome to the real side
of life
Is it dope you want or is it a gun
you want
You spell out what you want
And then I'll get you what you
want
I want it all and I want it now
I'm gonna go ahead and grab it all
Just for myself
Now who got the fever for the flav',
who can dig the way that I flex on a track, I'm causin' rampage.
Ricky Rick on point with the 9-5 style from my lips,
they'll be rollin' the mad joints.
So put your hands in the air,
'cause there's a party over here,
So grab yourself a beer
and we can get the fever on,
I'm with it
so let me put my big brown beaver on.
I'm comin' with the disco,
I can flip so,
I'm a drop the solo tip,
Somethin' for the honeys in the crowd,
lend me your ear
so I can turn the party out,
til tomorrow afternoon
'cause when I grips my steel no one leaves the room,
so tell me can you feel the
mad skills comin' with the fever, fever, fever
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah-ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Step to the side
You'd better run and hide
Move to the side
Ev'rybody wants to stay alive.
Everybodys in the house,
we had to run this back,
so you can break your flares out.
N-Trance and the only one.
We got it goin' on
so let me get my flowin' on,
Its a blast from the past and you heard of
me and the boyz comin' down with murder,
and its gotta be the way,
everybody wants to make a move so just party.
And we can have a jam,
so get your move on, I'm a take this groove and slam,
flip it how we want it flipped from the back to the front when I drops me the manuscript,
'cause I got the moves
and I'm always done my flow with the crazy crazy grooves,
so tell me can you feel the
mad skills comin' with the fever, fever, fever
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

Everybody in da house come on an let me hear ya say oh ho (OH HO)
Everybody in da house come on an let me hear ya say ho ho ho (HO HO HO)
Its about time
everybody in the house bust a move to my vicious raw rhymes,
Ricky Rick on a tip with my boyz bringin' disco noise as I drop the wickedness,
gettin' sharp with the flow,
we took a Bee Gees loop and broke it down like Lego,
a disco lick that deeper,
I've decided tonight I'm staying alive just kicking & screaming
Blood boiling & steaming
There are things far too dark to comprehend
Sleep on it one more night my sad old friend
Doo do Doo do Doo do Doo do
The worst is over.
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm.
I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right, it's O.K.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin'
And ev'rybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

I'll live to see another day.

Ando buscando
Mi destino voy encontrando, caminando
Podras decir por mi forma al caminar
Que yo estoy aqui, en mi lugar
Vivo asi, con mi verdad
Desde que naci, no cambiara
Y asi esta bien, es real
Aunque no entiendas mi ritual
Podras dudar, querras saber,
Yo solo trato de crecer
Siempre que lo creas y siempre que lo quieras
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Siempre que lo creas y siempre que lo quieras
We're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Cada vez, que me pierdo en la ciudad
Llevo el ritmo en mi, a cualquier lugar
En la radio suena mi cancin
Y al compas del bar, mi corazn
Y asi estoy bien, es real,
Si cada calle es mi lugar
Podes venir, podras dudar,
Yo sigo viva en mi verdad
Siempre que lo creas y siempre que lo quieras
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Siempre que lo creas y siempre que lo quieras
We're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' alive
Si en este mundo, hoy pierdo el rumbo
Ayudame a volver
Ando, buscando
Mi destino voy encontrando, caminando
Si en este mundo, hoy pierdo el rumbo
Ayudame a poder
Ando, buscando
