Life is a nature documentary series made by BBC television, first broadcast as part of the BBC's Darwin Season on BBC One and BBC HD from October to December 2009. The series takes a global view of the specialised strategies and extreme behaviour that living things have developed in order to survive; what Charles Darwin termed "the struggle for existence". Four years in the making, the series was shot entirely in high definition.
The UK broadcast of Life consists of ten 50-minute episodes. The opening programme gives a general introduction to the series, a second looks at plants, and the remainder are dedicated to some of the major animal groups. They aim to show common features that have contributed to the success of each group, and to document intimate and dramatic moments in the lives of selected species chosen for their charisma or their extraordinary behaviour. A ten-minute making-of feature Life on Location aired at the end of each episode, taking the total running time to 60 minutes.
Sir David Frederick Attenborough ( /ˈætənbərə/) OM, CH, CVO, CBE, FRS, FZS, FSA (born 8 May 1926) is a British broadcaster and naturalist.
His career as the face and voice of natural history programmes has endured for more than 50 years. He is best known for writing and presenting the nine Life series, in conjunction with the BBC Natural History Unit, which collectively form a comprehensive survey of all life on the planet. He is also a former senior manager at the BBC, having served as controller of BBC Two and director of programming for BBC Television in the 1960s and 1970s.
Attenborough is widely considered a national treasure in Britain, although he himself does not care for the term. He is a younger brother of director, producer and actor Richard Attenborough.
Attenborough was born in Isleworth, west London, but grew up in College House on the campus of the University College, Leicester, where his father, Frederick, was principal. He is the middle of three sons (his elder brother, Richard, became an actor and his younger brother, John, an executive at Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo). During World War II his parents also adopted two Jewish refugee girls from Europe.
Plot
Meet Death, your average grim reaper working for the Termination Corporation. Death has only one desire: to avoid human contact as much as possible. So when Life, another friendly face in the office, offers him an opportunity to take off and work far away from any human beings, Death is all ears. In order for this to happen, Death must spend at least eight hours with one of his victims, Jane. Begrudgingly, Death sets out on this undesired task, but to his surprise, things turn out much differently than he could ever expect.
Plot
An arrogant, amoral film agent is involved with a car accident on his way to the office leading to strange things starting to happen. In mysterious circumstances he is given an unexpected assignment to meet a new comedy act "Life and Death" for a proposed 24hr T.V show. At the meeting the comedy act hold a mystical empowerment over the agent's decisions, where he's instructed to travel into the unknown to retrieve past footage. As the agent gets closer to the package, future and past visions distort his reality creating a game of wills between life and death for the possession of his soul.

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.
Since long time ago
Waiting for the light
Dust of the old land
There was the man
Dust will be the man
Taking breath of life
Be the living one
Man rules the land
The man became gold
The gold became god
God turns into man
We'll be the same
Whispers in the air
Talking to our head
Images we learn
We live with them
Building the life, higher than sky, living a lie
Building my life, higher much high, my truth is lie
Building the life, higher than sky, living a lie
Building your life higher much high, your truth is lie
Pouring like the rain
Thoughts of future man
Falling to remain
As pride of man
Tasted by the life
Being the chosen one
Carving on the time
laughing, crying, searching, finding life.
Moving, remaining, losing gaining life.
Breathing, Breathing life.
Giving, taking, building, breaking life.
choosing, changing, confusing, rearranging life.
Breathing, Breathing life.
Reaching, calling, climbing, falling life.
Screaming, shouting, believing, doubting life.
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
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?
- 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?
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
I'm talking about life,
I love it but sometimes I hate it sometimes
I'm talking about life
I love it but sometimes I hate it sometimes
We are building a life that breaths
A life that sees just don't destroy his every dream
We search for the light that blinks
That guides the ship to where his every wish may be
I just want the life I see in front of me
Why is it the life I cannot be
They're building a life that breaths
They're building a life at sees
They've built me
Here I go, I’m on my way with my Love glasses on…

I was born and raised from the streets
lovin heavenly father in my dreams
I heard a song loved so long
music made my path to be more strong
My faith my soul I express with this song
even heaven gotta knows that I won't never be gone
Sometimes I dream about standing on the stage
Bright lights shine down on me
Back in the days when we were still being raised
If just feels like yesterday
I'm spending my whole life
Just to fly when the song cries
I'm spending my whole life
Waiting to be a thug life
I feel the fear had no tears standing front of the people
Sometimes I try not to cry run and hide to be alright
But when I feel the vibe and I hear it with alive
My fame my pain just goes away
I've been living my life for 21 years
reminice the time I used to drop some tears
I used to be a little boy playin with a little toy
But now I see myself skribblin lyrics while I'm flowing
All I do is to be true thug is my word
I'll be with my crew
I'm spending my whole life
Just to fly when the song cries
I'm spending my whole life
Waiting to be a thug life
music takes whole part of my life Slowly down
into your heart
Fightin' 4 the livin', prayin' 4 the day
freedom 2 deliver my design
not the latest fashion, not the flavour of the year
same old situation everytime
pre:
but I'll tell u something, it ain't nothin' but nothin'
than a little blasphemous dissuasion
i'll give u 2 time chances,
3 strikes & i'm dancin'
I'll see u on the way up as u go down
chorus:
it's o.k., it's alright
i'll b the 1 u always dreamed about
i'm o.k., I'm alright
the chosen 1 u just can't live without
the game is in my favour,
now your tail between your legs take a look at
your consciousness 2day
now I ain't burnin' bridges,
but I ain't just your
average ordinary man,
ain't gonna b pushed down
ain't gonna b pushed away
chorus
a word 2 so-called visionaries blind 2 our design
while u buy your puppets lacking soul
u missed the boat & now your're
sayin' we go back so far
don't kid yourself
cause we already know
pre
chorus
it's o.k., it's alright
I'm the temptation
that u dreamed about
it's o.k., i'm alright
the chosen 1 u just can't live without
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"
If everything in life was right Then we would never have to fight So if we never used the brain Then only carcass would remain If man had never used his hands Then he could never understand The joys of making this and that Like winning money from the slot
Forget about stupidity Discover your ability Develop your creativity Cultivate humility To brave the stormy weather Oh my brothers And heed my foolish words
You see the more you give to life Is the more you're gonna get from life So go on and give Don't count the cost And the less you give to life Is the less you're gonna get from life So save your dough And your soul might be lost
If every man should be the boss There'd be no one to groom the horse Mechanics none to fix the car No humble man to spread the tar If every man should be on top Now tell me what the hell could stop Top heavy from a fatal drop Extinct would be the mortal crop
It's time we learned to be satisfied Curtail resources running wild Too much have you, get rid of some There are too many who have none Oh my brother, help them to face the stormy weather And heed these foolish words I tell you
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!
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!
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
I will die someday
But right now it feels quite far away
I will die someday
Let's hope it's not today
I know life is today
Tomorrow can't wait
My head want's to move on
But my heart want's to stay
I'm just a kid with a guitar in my hands
But I know something that some can't understand
'Cause we live and we die
I do whatever I like
Life is now, so let's try
To live our whole life out
And it starts now
My parents, they say
Do all the fun tomorrow, do the boring stuff today
But I say that's wrong
I'll do the fun things today, and the other things can
wait
'Cause we only live once
So don't blow it, take a chance
To do exactly what you want
'Cause we live and we die
I do whatever I like
Life is now so let's try
To live our whole life out
And it starts now
I love you, you love me
That's the way it was suppose to be
But now you left me, you hurt me
But I guess that was just meant to be
Yeah, I loved you, you loved me
That's the way it was suppose to be
But now you're with him, and not with me
And I can't change that if that's how you feel
'Cause we live and we die
I do whatever I like
Life is now
So let's live our whole life out
And it starts now
I will die someday
But right now it feels quite far away
I will die someday
Let's hope it's not today
Life, life, isn't for everyone
Life, life is for everyone
Then and now wait for your trouble
To take on sufferin', make it your pain, your pain
But you know, you'll always give, get nothin' back
Life, life, isn't for everyone
Life, life is for everyone, listen now
Keep me down under your thumb, thumb
You're always out there makin' your thing, your thing
But you need to remember, baby
You'll always give, get nothin' back
Closer you get to the edge and you're floatin' away
Closer you get, your last breath in the air
And you're gone away
Life, life, isn't for everyone
Life, life is for everyone
Life, life down isn't for everyone
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...
One comes of it
Love it, love it
Let go of it
Love comes from it
We're not of this world for long
Faith and promise keep me honest
When starvation falls upon us
Daylight told me he would be
Gone with cold words
Spoke among hers
Wretched in the tongue of their world
We're not of that world at all
We will never be
Wouldn't it be fine to stand
Behind the words we say in the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell in paradise
Right here on Earth
Keep it, use it
Build it, move it
Planes can touch our time will prove it
Watch us fly as loud we can
Let her heartbeat change what I am now
Wouldn't it be fine to stand
Behind the words we say
In the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell in paradise
Just like a birdie
I just wanna fly free
So high, so high
And own a piece of land
Somewhere, somewhere
Off in a country
Oh, oh yeah, listen
Temperature like a hundred degrees
Like I got chains on me
Black male and a family of 3
Been robbed of my destiny
Reckon I'll fly away
Cause it's too much for this man
Shouldn't 'a gone down this way
What happened to my masterplan
Cause I can't figure out
I could have been a love child
Shouldn't 'a gone down this way
Tell me, how did I get life
Chorus:
Life life
Life life
Life life
Life life
(repeat)
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'll get home
Gotta get home, yeah
Just about to see the dollar sign
That's close to a peace of mind
And everything was about to be fine
So tell me
So how did I get life
Life life
Life life
Life life
Life life
(repeat)
Everything
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
Yeah yeah
Yes they did
Ooooooooooooooooh life
(chorus)
Drop that shit!
All the news is bad, killer kills self, three found
dead,
All the terror in this world it's just, just, just,
just filling my head.
What to be what do and my God why?
People around me keep dropping, dropping, dropping like
flies.
Each and every day we get closer and closer, to the
very end,
Who's next? Is it me? Is it you? Is it me? Is it you?
Or is it your friend?
I'm not talking about Ice-T when I say "bodycount,"
I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, what this world's
about.
Life? Huh, Yeah...Right
You think I can't see the way life is going?
To hell in a hand basket, see we be knowing.
But I guess that's nothing but life, the poor struggle
and strife,
While the rich lay on their ass, smoking on pipes.
Well I guess you better make just one good decision,
Because life can be a knife that will cut you with
precision.
Please waste not, want not, smoking too much pot,
And winding up shot, POP POP POP-POP POP.
All the bad times you see they're not new,
Keep messing around with life and it's gonna give it to
you.
And that's real, so real.
I ask, you ask, I ask, you ask; Why are we here?
Is it worth living? Is it worth living? When we live in
fear.
We got gangs, we got colors, we got signs and sets,
Gangbanging equals nothing but an instant death?
Drive by, homicide, suicide, genocide,
Why choose a side? Too many people that I know and
loved have died.
Terror, horror, greed and deceit make the world go
'round,
Unless I change, you change, we change, we'll all end
up underground.
This is the part where we go fucking crazy.
*(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
'cause 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
'cause 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 'cause 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
'cause 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
Here and now
And now and now
And now and now
And now and now
And now and now
Here and now
And now and now
And now and now
And now and now
Here I am, you made it all so clear
I understand, I am just a stranger here
I leave it all behind
All that's left is gone
And I know about my mind
Straight into your arms
Here and now we will stand with one voice hand in hand
We will never back down, we will never give in
Here and now we will sing with one voice and we bring
Our life as an offering we bring you everything
Give me all the depth of the sweetest dreams which follow that I see
You are eternal, eternal life
Where could I, where could I, where could I go
But I got you in the light with everybody's side
Lord its clear when I needed day and night
So leave it all behind
To all that's left is gone
And we'll go with all our might
Straight into your arms
Here and now we will stand with one voice hand in hand
We will never back down we will never give in
Here and now we will sing with one voice and we bring
Our life as an offering we bring you everything
Lord I give my life
No matter what it takes
Cause you gave it all for me
With all of our hearts we sing
With all of our joy we bring
Everything we will bring
Our everything, everything
Here and now we will stand with one voice hand in hand
We will never back down we will never give in
Here and now we will sing with one voice and we bring
Our life as an offering we bring you everything
Here and now we will stand with one voice hand in hand
We will never back down we will never give in
Here and now we will sing with one voice and we bring
Our life as an offering we bring you everything
Here and Now
Here and Now
Here and Now
waiting for the cut of the waves
that threw me to the ground, there I lay
don’t be weary, don't be undone,
now count to ten, then we can sing,
never let lies, grab your spirit,
go head-first into the mouth
life, life
life, life
you're a sight, for sore eyes
you're a sight, that changed my life
you only live once, so don’t think twice
bones break and they mend
its just a part of life
searching for a way to rule,
and do things like you knew we would
don't be the one who doesn't exist,
whatcha waiting for?
wake up child, we can fight it
we are bold we are capable
you're a sight, for sore eyes
you're a sight, that changed my life
you only live once, so don’t think twice
bones break and they mend
its just a part of life, of life
just a part of life, of life
live,
like, you wont exist
we fire our gun, we hear the screams,
we hid the bombs under your seat
we ignite
you're a sight, for sore eyes
you're a sight, that changed my life
you're a sight, for sore eyes
you're a sight, that changed my life
you only live once, so don’t think twice
bones break and they mend
its just a part of life, of life
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Sitting here glad as I am
With your photograph, I hold it in my hands
Aching for a vision of you, you're right in front of me
Looking at the photograph, and the way you were looking at me
I was just remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Sitting here looking at the table
It's just like a photograph
There's you and me, fruit, drink, good food
Oh the things we did, the things we did
From the shower we took to the very first look
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
You're rich, you're beautiful, you're in love
How wonderful life can be
Just the way you wanted it to be
Yet I am the colour of the night
I am the colour of the night
If you could only make it right
If you could only make it right
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I will never forget you girl
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
Love you, love you, love you girl
Remembering the first time we made love
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
Life
Spirit seeks for sun in dark
Seeing no light in the eyes
The lost hopes he never finds
How the power runs in the blood
Imperious and heart tearing
And thoughts deviating from the aim
Mingle your brains from time to time
Just some thirst of the soul remains there
With broken wings, sinking in the dark
Enough you're done your way
But never you returned
It's your life
With hopes
With feelings
With the heart loving you
With the distant future
I went to look for shadows but the shadows they found me
I went to swim the ocean but I drowned up in the sea
I want to love my woman but she chose him over me
I want to be somebody else I feel I won't be free
Is this me for life?
I fought to keep from crying as I lay upon the floor
And everyone I knew right then pressed me to the floor
I tried to keep on breathing but the people would not give
And all the evil in the world the people would not give
Is this me for life?
And if you left it up to me they'd all go in the sea
with the guns and the disease and the industry of weasels
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
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
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So 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
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, not a lie
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, not a lie
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, Life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
Sayang, nanghihinayang
Na ngayo'y wala ka na
Hinayaan, pinalipas ang mga pagkakataon
Na ikaw at ako'y magkasama sa habang panahon
At ngayo'y wala ka na
Sa iba'y kapiling ka
Pa'no na?
Ako na lang sana
Ang nagmamay-ari ng puso mo
Ako na lang sana
Ang hinahanap at binubulong na
Sana ay tayong dalawa.
Sayang, pinabayaan
Na sumama sa iba
Hinayaan di pinaglaban ang
Sana'y sa 'ting dalawa
Ala-ala mo'y hinahanap ng pusong nag-iisa
At ngayo'y wala ka na
Sa iba'y kapiling ka
Pano na?
Ako na lang sana
Ang nagmamay-ari ng puso mo
Ako na lang sana
Ang hinahanap at binubulong na
Sana ay tayong dalawa.
Ako na lang sana
Ang nagmamay-ari ng puso mo
Ako na lang sana
Ang hinahanap at binubulong na
Ako na lang sana
Ang nagmamay-ari ng puso mo
Ako na lang sana
Ang hinahanap at binubulong na
Sana ay...
Sana ay...
Sana ay tayong dalawa.

This is how our lives are meant to be
When only love, not hate, is all we see...
But what is life supposed to really mean?
If you're far away, not here with me!
This is how our lives are meant to be
When only love, not hate, is all we see...
But what is life supposed to really mean?
Man loves woman
Man loses woman
Man loses mind
Woman feels sick
Woman sees doctor
Doctor sees baby
Woman chooses choice
Doctor does job
Man shoots doctor
Police gets man
Man gets life
Man takes life
Time won’t heal
Wire hanger will
What a mess
What a shame
Blood stained cum
Dripping down both legs
Had no choice
Had to choose
What a mess
What a shame
Had no choice
Had to choose
What a mess
But we don't ever want to make you
realize
that you've been living life that's full
of failed experiments and lies
For we have seen the future
at its best
we know how to turn to profit
and leave you out there to decay
See through need
Future's falsified and disdained
We want to see the future today
Eventual insanity,
broken backs
no reason to believe
scholastic truth,
time to do
reasoning about everything
But we don't ever want to make you
realize
that you've been living life that's full
of failed experiments and lies
For we have seen the future
at its best
we know how to turn to profit
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
There was a time
When you stayed with me
But when you're gone
I cried but you felt fine
I knew it all along
I miss the time you're always there
I knew it all along
There was a time
When you stayed with me
But when you're gone
I cried but you felt fine
I knew it all along
I miss the time you're always there
I knew it all along
Save me
My world is falling down
Can’t you see every day I cry?
When you're not around
Save me
My world is falling down
Can’t you see every day I cry?
When you're not around
Right alone
You can't let go
Right alone
You can't let go
Right alone
You can't let go
Right alone
Save me
My world is falling down
Can’t you see every day I cry?
When you're not around
Save me
My world is falling down
Can’t you see every day I cry?
When you're not around
Life is a present
It ends at the reverend
Death is a part of life
sometimes it hurts like a sharp knife
CHORUS
Life is impossible for some to do
Life is harder as I knew
Life sometimes unfair
You searched for help and nobody was there
Destiny is no existence
cause life is in our hands
CHORUS
Life is impossible for some to do
Life is harder as I knew
BRIDGE
And someones death
Trough a suicide
And the relations
They all cried
I give up breathing
without life inside of me
CHORUS
Life is impossible for some to do
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
Life is a little part of death
Just an instant in an empty space
It's a bautiful pain
Life is short
Life is short
Just do things you like
Just what makes you happy
Please like the life
Please love the life
But do not hate the dead
You were dead forever more my friend
Then you appeared to be a man
Now you're waiting for the end
Life is short
Life is short
Just do things you like
Just what makes you happy
Please like the life
Please love the life
But don't be affraid of the dead
Life is a story don't you doubt
Bad times give you something to talk about
The next time you feel you're all worn out
Remember life is a story
Don't you doubt
It only takes a day for everything to turn around
Love is a story they tell to you
But the way they tell it ain't quite true
You'll wake up one day and you're twenty-two
You know love is just a story that they tell to you
Love takes a lot of work like everything else you're
Gonna do
Friends are just the people that you can talk with
Somebody to talk about that somebody to talk About this
But everyone changes and forever is a myth
Friends are just the people that you can talk with
A lot of them'll leave but only a few you're gonna Miss
School is the place where I did my growing
They fill your brain to overflowing
They tell you this is all stuff you need to be knowing
School is the place where I did my growing
Just when I got to like it it was time to be going
The world is the place where it all happens
They draw lines on it and call it a map
In between every line's a different flag flapping
The world is the place where it all happens
Six billion people all taking turns eating in a napkin
Animals are critters just like you and me
The only difference is that they don't worry
About things that they can't smell or see
Animals are critters just like you and me
So we buy pants and deodorants and claim not to be
Songs are just something to waste your time
I listen to yours and you listen to mine
Before we know it the day's gone by
Songs are just something to waste your time
So is everything else to do whatever makes you feel
Fine
God's just a story someone made up long ago
Before they had books and tv shows
I don't believe in him and I ain't afraid to say so
You know god's just a story someone made up long Ago
But it's hard not to be superstitious despite all you
Know
Everyone's born and everyone dies
Everyone has a time and wonders why
The ocean's blue so is the sky
Everyone's born and everyone dies
The old lady cries, the new baby cries...and sighs
Kisses are weird but they can be fun
Instead of shaking hands it's like shaking tongues
I wish I got to do it more when I was young
Kisses are weird but they can be fun
I hate going once a month without kissing anyone
At this point it's been since uh...how many months
1 2 3 4 5 6...7
I think if kissing someone could make them Pregnant
The last person I kissed would have had their kid by
*snort laugh snort*
Dreams are weird but they can be fun too
They happen more often than kisses it's true
In some I was naked and in some I flew
Dreams are weird but they can be fun too
I wonder if you're dreaming about me when I'm Dreaming
about you
Now that you heard everything I said
There ain't nothing new inside your head
If you want, disregard it all go ahead
Now that you've heard everything I said
There are probably one or two things you coulda Been
doing instead
Life is a story don't you doubt
Bad times give you something to talk about
The next time you feel you're all worn out
Remember life is a story
Don't you doubt
To never give up, to never give in
Becomes a vision of impossibility
A the bombardment worsens
Narrowly defined roles now easier to play
To never give up, to never give in
To the incessant intoxication of the senses
The allure of the machine
Is a full time job without pay
Fighting for survival
Can we call it life?
when the beating of hearts has ceased
Can we call it life?
with our days spent taking a beating
Can we call it life?
When our daze reeks of death
Years of rejections and years of regrets, years of unbearable guilt,
Years of creating a dream life could never fulfill
Days of forgiveness and days of no trust toss me around like a toy
Days which will make me forget even seconds of joy
While pain is cutting like a knife I'm trying hard to reinvent
My life - all my life
Left in a cell with a window so small - barely feeling the sun
Sneaking the light on my skin. But my struggle's begun.
Pushing aside every shadow of fear, lifting myself from the ground,
Throwing the glove in the face of what's holding me down
While pain is working with it's knife I'm trying hard to reinvent
Got a story to tell
Bout jesus christ
How he came to earth
To set you free
From all your sins
When this is over
You can live again
[Chorus:]
I've come that you might
Have life more abundantly
I've come that you might
Have life more abundantly
Got a story to tell
And I
Ts not oo long
Bout a man who gave his life
Though he never did no wrong
Let me explain
The reason why
Hung his head and dided
So you could have eternal life
[Chorus:]
I've come that you might
Have life more abundantly
I've come that you might
Have life more abundantly
He did it all
For you and me
So that we could live
Life more abundantly
I tell the world
Everywhere I go
He gave his life
And everyone should know
[Chorus:]
I've come that you might
Have life more abundantly
I've come that you might
Have life more abundantly
Life, life, he came all the way and gave his self for you and I
Life's a bore but you have to live it
Haven't got much but you have to give it
Life's a lung and your a cancer,
Lots of questions never an answer.
..life
Life's a bore but you have to live it
Haven't got much but you have to give it
Life's a bore but you have to live it
Empty old town lit by a blinding sun Where are my friends? Where have the children gone? I hear them still echoing through my head Oh I look at myself and my eyes turn red.
There's a rose for every season There's a truth in every heart Like a rhyme without a reason Oh, life too easily falls apart Oh, life too easily falls apart.
Empty old town bathed in a golden light Moving me now (like) dreams in a n endless night Tears in my eyes add salt to an open wound Don't torture yourself, you will be home soon
There's a rose for every season There's a truth in every heart Like a rhyme without a reason Oh, life too easily falls apart Oh, life too easily falls apart.
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 ourselves between right and wrong
We've got to be free, we've got to be strong
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 guilt by their own madness
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?
Life could be so beautiful
If truth were known
And life should be so wonderful
But that sears our soul
Life could be so beautiful
Make your life your own
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
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
Life could be so beautiful
If truth were known
And life should be so wonderful
But that sears our soul
Life could be so beautiful
Make your life your own
Life could be so beautiful
If truth were known
And life should be so wonderful
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 troubles
Time, come on in
I see you're back again
Where you going now?
I thought you'd know somehow
Life
If you keep going
I'll try to throw in
A little love
Life
I can't do without you
There's something about you
That keeps me going
Life
I don't want to 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
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
Life, life
Clouds and clowns
You don't have to come down
Life, life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live
You might get angry sometimes
But don't let it turn you around
All you gotta do is get your livin' now
Life, life
Clouds and clowns
You don't have to come down
Life, life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live
You might be scared of somethin' look at Mr. Stewart
He's the only person he has to fear
He'd only let himself get near
He don't trust nobody
If he stopped bein' so shady
He could have a nice young lady
Life, life
Tell it like it is
You don't have to die before you live
You're gonna be sad sometimes
You might wake up to find your pet is gone
But maybe, he's tired of bein' alone
Dog gets hip, it has to go
If you're lovin' you can't be sad no more
Life, life
Clouds and clowns
You don't have to come down
Life, life
Tell it like it is
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
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
1234
This is how fast time goes by
I can't seem to find the meaning of my life (2x)
Find 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
1234
This is how fast time goes by
I can't seem to find the meaning of my life (2x)
Find the meaning of my life
(Opening lines are spoken as a sermon- "John 10")
I am the door
By me if any man enter in he shall be saved
And shall go in and out and find pasture
The thief cometh not but for to steal
And kill and to destroy
But I have come that they might life!
And that they might have it more abundantly
Restless folks live restless lives
But the father hears their cries
He can feel the sorrow they feel
Jesus came to empathize
More than you can realize
Offering a life that is real
Chorus:
Since he came to give us (life)
There's been nothing like this (life)
I'm complete within His life
Such a source of healing (life)
Simple truth revealing (life)
There's no other feeling life
Repeat Chorus
Many who have heard His voice
Often fail to make the choice
Giving Him the total control
Burdens He could take today
They will carry anyway
Hopelessly to pilot their souls
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Giving us life - His life - There's no other life
He's giving us life, oh yes He's giving us life - There's no other life
There's no need for living down
When there's happy life around
Look at what the master has done
Give it time and you will see
You can sing along with me
This is why the Savior has come
Blood builds a fence.
Your bank account is swelling and so is your head.
I'm bone dry but I can't resist.
Too proud of a fake world that's covered with spit.
I saw my ID and it wasn't me
it was someone else's identity
why do I need to prove myself
and who is the judge of my sanity
Roaming through my old emotions
I find new feelings of misery
I bet with my soul to get back the truth
where I will face reality
Ref. 2x
Life is a book and you gotta read it
life is a story,and you gotta tell it
life is a song and you gotta sing it
you've got to know how to live it
Walking around, some thoughts on my mind
I search for a place where I'll be free
from all that is said and all that's been done
it'll be hard to find it inside of me
Ref. 2x
I know that I've gotta try
no one can see me cry
I can't take it anymore
I must find a way to let myself go
Oh yeah
(life is a, life is, life is, life is)
life is true, you know it, don't you
I can't believe that it's true
What man is planning to do
Trying to control the world
In the end they lose their soul
Mankind is obsessed with misconceptions, yeah
Still trying to find paradise in their disillusion
I say, life is what you make it some say
But I know that Jah has a role to play
I say, life is what you make it some say
But I know that Jah has a role to play
Some may get weary and down
'Cause they are living without
The teacher and master of all
So one by one they will fall
Until they learn to respect and honor
And work hands and heart with the creator
I say, life is what you make it some say
But I know that Jah has a role to play
Life is what you make it some say
But I know that Jah has a role to play
Life could be easier if we could learn to follow
The footsteps of the Father any way we go
Life is what you make it some say
But I know that Jah has a role to play
Life is what you make it some say
But I know that Jah has a role to play
Who makes the billows roll?
And who keeps the stars in control?
Who makes the sun shine so bright?
Who makes the ant crawl and bite?
Only He, the great one, Alpha and Omega
Is it great and sustain us in this dispensation
Life is what you make it some say
But I know that Jah has a role to play
Life is what you make it some say
But I know that Jah has a role to play
Life is what you make it
What you make it some say
Shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for battle
Their tongues were like to a serpent
The venom of saps is under their lips
Their faces were as the faces of men
and their teeth were as sharp as lions
They gather for attack preparing for War
against to all who have turned their back
We do our prays toward to Him
and waiting for The Sign
Open the Gates of The Mighty Serpent
and loose the Mad Gods Of Chaos
We do our heads towards the sky
and listen for The Steel
To the Altar of The Holocaust
we will give our lamb
Fear the Lord and give Him honour
The Judgement Day is coming

You can not fully live without
Knowing what you're here for right now
You're not here by accident
Life lives
If you don't know the way and you're lost
This truth will bridge the gap and carry you across
You're not here by accident
Life lives
You're not here by accident
Let me tell you what you are doing
I can see what´s on your mind
Leave the road that leads to nothing
Cause soon you will be feeling fine
When you lose control
Search your soul
Dont take take it to the limit
Take to it the limit
Lose Control
When you lose control
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
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
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 'cause 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
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
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
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
'Cause 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
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
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
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
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 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
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
[Chorus: woman singing - repeat 4X]
Take a look in my life and see what I see..
[Yo Gotti]
M-E-M-P-H-I-S
3 - 8 - 1 - 2 - 7
shady vista, segshaw lane
my ghetto game, where it all started for gotti
little summin', running around [?] and naughty
asking for dollars from niggaz I assumed was ballin'
twelve years old, and talking about flippin' tomorrow
counting my cheese, think I had 'bout 37 bones
I made up my mind, tomorrow gotti's starting to cone
bought me a deal, posted up on top of the hill
throughout these years, i've seen a lot of niggaz get killed
my life is the truth, i'd rather rap outside a booth
y'all ain't talking about shit, i'm 100 proof..
that's what my life like
[Chorus]
[Yo Gotti]
I'm from the projects, jaded in, fence surround
I'm a normal teen black, but these chinks around
'cause they on the corner stores, like how could they afford
something we can't, they never seen these dollars before
I wrote this here for the government, me and my people sufferin'
break bread with the immigrants, not word for recipients
tell me what my benefit, long jazz, fifty cents
eighty-five percent with no parole in parenthesis
the north memphis president, here to set the record straight
rob, steal, kill, put some food on your people plates
going lethal, thrill me, before these people kill me
gotti's just a spokesman for the north and they gon' feel me
my block consists of.. lost hope
gangbangers and street-thugs.. plus coke
there's one way in and one way out, take summin'
a cop working; wait for drought, like yo gotti
[Chorus]
[Yo Gotti]
Back in the day, used to cut the five off of twenties
Back in the day, I used to cut the two off of tens
Back in the days, I thought everybody was friends
Back in the day, the hood had me trapped within
Back in the day, used to play "pick up and run"
the shit was fun, but nowadays we picking up guns
Back in the day, me and my niggaz fought with each other
shared with each other, but nowadays we bust at each other
trust in each other just like we done sealed-up leather
never, we're all clever but on different levels
Back in the day, used to play "that's my car"
Back in the days, I never thought i'd make it this far
Back in the day, used to play "catch a girl, get a girl"
nowadays, niggaz let a girl ruin they whole world
last days, it was existing in the dirty south
rediculous in the dirty south, come get me out this dirty south
my life like..
It is for my life
It is all of mind
I just wanna be your love tonight you come on to me like this

Hold me tightly killing me happy everybody shake tonight
Run, run until you die
Another day and the sun still shines
Oh, what a mess you've got yourself in
Don't blame my vision, just one of your sins
Coming around to get you
Trying hard to forget you
There is nothing that you know
That's gonna help you when you've got to go
Tie you down and shoot you up
Don't feel good, who gives a fuck?
You always were the one to blame
Always playing stupid games
Now that it's time to learn
You don't get nothing you don't earn
Never look down the road
And never, ever let go of your life
Your life
I gave you everything
You always turned your back on me
But you're too fucking blind to see
That everything you say and do
Is gonna come back to you
Razor blade, heaven made
Don't remember what I did today
But everything goes by so fast
It doesn't matter anyway
You made me burn, now it's your turn
But I think I may go too far
The deal is made, the plan is laid
It's time for me to give you yours
Every time you needed me
I gave you all I had and more
And now the game is over
You've forgotten all that I did for
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
The masters of romantism
With their tenderness
And their innocence
Kill laws of realism
Disruption stems
From paitings of life
Devotion stems
From failures
Sex and its uniting laws
Give to the world
A controversial choice
Opposing love to science
As love is a business
As art is a religion
Disruption stems
From paitings of life
Devotion stems
From failures
Believe it, always
We'll get a second chance
To live it
And feel it, sometimes
We miss this second chance,
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
Now ain't it really really really funny,
How life can be so simple.
You have the greatest joy of your life just yesterday,
And tomorrow you're gone just like a twinkle.
Life has it's ups and downs,
You don't know when, it's gonna turn around.
There are booby traps and landmines along the way,
one careless mistake can be your fate.
If only we knew just where and when,
Life is gonna change,
Where the road will end.
If we could recognize who is our real friends,
We'll be better able to stick with a plan.
Ain't it really really really funny,
How men can be so ungrateful.
You keep reaching out for more and more and more and
more,
Even when you got your hands full.
Life got it's turnaround,
You never know, what you gonna run into.
Could be an angel, could be destruction,
No, you never know, you never know.
If only we know just where and when,
Life is gonna change,
Where the road will end.
If we could recognize who is our real friend,
We'll be better able to stick with a plan.
Ain't it really really really funny,
How life can be so simple.
You have the greatest joy of your life just yesterday,
Tomorrow you're gone just like a twinkle.
Oh, if only we knew just where and when,
Life is gonna change,
Where the road will end.
If we could recognize who is our real friend,
[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 f**ked 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
You saw me this morning
Wasn't that a funny thing?
Because you once stood by my side
And kissed the tears I cried
But suddenly you've changed
And ran to someone strange
Because that's life, life
You must be my wife
That's life
I watched you this evening
Walking hand in hand with him
And because I am a man
I'll do the best I can
To get you back with me
The way we used to be
Because that's life, life
You must be my wife
That's life
That's life, life
That's life - you must be my wife
Life - you must be my wife
Life Life will never be
Life life will never be the same

Need to see it clear where do we go

Life will never be the same life is changin' yeah yeah

[Chorus]
I want my life to change
But I can't arrange
Life
Why do we live?
What's the meaning of life?
And what are you willing to die for?
Questions
But I can't find tha answers
I want my life to change
But I can't arrange
[Verse 1]
Sonny is in the cup
Now c'mon
My whole life is shit
My whole life is fucked up
If you don't like me blow me
'Cause I'm already a fuckin' nuttcase
Gettin' all over the place
No plessure
I can't discover
Because of your lover
I don't know why I live
Can't take this frustration no longer
I have to denie
The fact that my whole life is shit
You don't live eternal
So don't waste the time
That you live on this planet
Complaining about the way I used to play
It won't be easy for me to live a good life
And the rules of the fuckin' knife
But with my band of style and class
I keep my head up
And spit no glass
Pay my bills
Kill the ones who betrayed me
I would break there necks
And get the decks
I don't want to live in this way any longer
You gotta understand this song
[Chorus]
I want my life to change
But I can't arrange
Life
Why do we live?
What's the meaning of life?
And what are you willing to die for?
Questions
But I can't find tha answers
I want my life to change
But I can't arrange
[Verse 2]
Stiflah bring your back on tha ground
We get born
Grow up
And die after many years
I don't have fear
Because we have enough gear
And take we drink the beer
Why do have children go to school?
Why do people work?
To get the fuckin' money
But you want to get the honey's
You get born as a player or not
You can't become one
You have it or you have it not
But we don't stop until we get tha ladies
With tha Mercedez Benz
We are a strong defence
You can't beat use anymore
We almost know what life meanes
But even If we have to learn much
We are not so understandble
As we touch
We fuckin' rap
Until we motherfuckers die
You gotta understand this song
[Chorus]
I want my life to change
But I can't arrange
Life
Why do we live?
What's the meaning of life?
And what are you willing to die for?
Questions
But I can't find tha answers
I want my life to change
But I can't arrange
[Verse 3]
C'mon Lee
From America to Australia
We want to be famous
Worldwide
That's or target for life now
You gotta believe in us
Trust in us
'Cause we gonna be better
Than all the rest
All Y'all
We got a new target
Become famous
Get the money
To pay our honey's
We represent the Starlight Dragons
So don't mess with us
But bless for us
And choose the right dress
'Cause we got a long way to go
And we gotta keep the flo
Straight to the top
You gotta understand this song
[Chorus 2x]
I want my life to change
But I can't arrange
Life
Why do we live?
What's the meaning of life?
And what are you willing to die for?
Questions
But I can't find tha answers
I want my life to change
Lying around
There's no need to lie
First it's in your heart
Then it's in your eyes
Lie down the line
You can't take the truth
The way I am
I can't feel you move
I can't feel you move
I can't feel you move
layers of skin
I can't touch within
Heard it in your voice
Read it in your eyes
Lie down the line
You can't take the truth
My head is sore
I can't feel you move
I can't feel you move
I can't feel you move
Running around
There's no need to lie
First it's in your heart
Then it's in your eyes
I can't feel you move
I can't feel you move
I can't feel you move
Life life life life is just a question
He he he he he runs to me and
I I i I i turn to him
And he he he he he says to me
Report your instincts to the station
This sixth sense of yours is on fire
Your desire to insult the situation
Can be controlled if you'd just let it go
What the hell is he saying should I return to the good book
Am I too defensive is he always right
Because life life life life is just a question
She she she she she runs to me and
I I i I i turn to her
And she she she she she says to me
Fill the vases up with flowers
Fill the faces up with laughter
Fill your heart up with echoes fill your mind up with
Nothing
I have to scribble quickly she talks so fast so full of life
There she goes around the corner into another dimension and
I scratch my head I waste time thinking about scratching my head
And I wonder
Do we really hold all power here inside
I jump for joy at the thought I jump off cliffs and into
Fields of love
La da da daa da da daaa
La da da daa doda da dooo da daaa
La do da daa da da daaa
La da da do doda da dooo da daaa
She knocks me over mid thought
My elbow's scratched he is holding her stare
She is smiling he is toothless
Together they are a potent pair
I kick the can we run seperate through the trees
I remember
Once I was naked and I blame it on adam and eve
Life life life life is just a question
He he he he he runs to me and
I I i I i turn to her
And she she she she she says
Life life life life is just a question
He he he he he runs to me and
I I i I i turn to him
And she she she she she says
Ohh oh oh
Ohh oh oh
Life life life life
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
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.
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 singing
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 singing
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 singing
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
Killing yourself is a fuckin’ addiction,
You come back to our next audition.
You seem so far away from everything new,
It’s a small price to pay for the gift of knowing you.
Time is short, music won’t last !
You better slow down you are so fast !
Do you know what it’s like to hurt at night, for no reason ?
Stereo therapy is my lesions, it’s only matter of time
You ! …should be the one !
And I ! …won’t waste my time !
Do you know the power of your simple caress,
Support me, no matter what i decide and guess.
I know I never was beautiful enough for you,
And now I am just felling lost and I don’t know what to do !
Your perfume struggles perfectly with the ambient air,
I still fell you everywhere.
My daydreams love the violet color of your lips,
And the nightmares that follow this.
Your my new definition of beauty and passion
You bring me down
I can see your silhouette, I am just letting go of it
When you are around.
The clock is ticking always when you start to believe in one thing
…right, that makes you forgive the regrets you could have in the past.
I am not scared to fly
And just say goodbye.
Just turn and look behind
From the place,
The place at which you stand,
And here I go.
Your perfume struggles perfectly with the ambient air,
I still fell you everywhere.
My daydreams love the violet color of your lips,
And the nightmares that follow this.
Just turn and look behind
From the place,
The place at which you stand,

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
Yeah, this is life once again
It's been knockin' 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
Yeah, this is life once again
It's been knockin' 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, yeah
This is life once again
It's been knockin' at your 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, believe it

Yeah, this is life once again
It's been knockin' 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, ooh yeah
Don't let it pass you by, pass you by, yeah
It's time you faced it
It's time to turn around
Now it is time to leave
For the never ending journey again
Back again
I will forget...
I will forget who I am
I will forget all over again...
Now into the dark...
(Our collective truth)
I will leave a piece of All in you
In each of you
When you get lost
Please remember
Remember...
I am in you
Lying awake again as the night before
Wondering if this moon will be my last
Finding myself inside the hourglass
This room I am in fills with the sands of time
One second you're here, one moment all changes
And the light of the sun fades away
refrain:
I'd give it all, if something I had
For those times, for a life
All of the time it replays in my mind
Those far day, the days of my life
Memory runs blank like a broken arrow
From times of the past, through darkness to the present
One step and you fall, and everything changes
And the shine of the stars fades away
refrain
refrain (2x)
I want you to know I had no place to go
Want you to see what you done to me
Because of him you've thrown me away
You could of gone with him and chose another day
Just because your gullible ranger
You've made me feel like I'm deranged
And that seems strange cause you gave me the life
That seems strange cause you gave me the life
I'm feeling almost dead you're messing up my head
I'm in the wrong direction still no support
Because of him you've thrown me away
You could of gone with him and chose another day
The road that you have taken now
Is all because of me somehow
And that seems strange cause you gave me the life
That seems strange cause you gave me the life
Just because your gullible range
You've made me feel like I'm deranged
And that seems strange cause you me the life
And I'll love my son, like you loved one
I will become another part of you
I'll carry the weight of you
So I'll love my son, like you loved one
It's now my turn to follow a better day
Think of a better way
I'll love my son, like you loved one
I will become another part of you
I'll carry the weight of you
I want you to know I have no place to go
Mother, mother, just look what they done, done to your son
Father, father, just look what they done, done to your son
Look here, mother, mother
I have felt the mark of ten thousand teeth
I done seen my body lying limply at my feet
As I've seen my soul creeping out my chest
Out of my head, towards the east, I've been victimized by the west
Mother, mother, just look what they done, done to your son
But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun
Father, father, look what they done, done to your son
Hey, mother, mother
I've seen visions of dolphins dancing in my head
But I'm not gonna worry, might wake up in the morning, dead
But if I die, stoned before I wake
Lord, grant me one last wish, please unveil my fate
Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son
But it ain't so bad, I've been drinking while they're just having fun
Father, father, look what they done, done to your son
Look here, mother, mother
Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told
About the work of the devil and now I know
Father, father, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told
About the work of the devil and now I know
Mother, mother, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told
About the work of the devil and now I know
Father, father, look what they done, done to your son
I didn't know what I was told
My life understands
The silence from within
My heart will demand
Keep me near You
My love in Your hands
What a joy it can be
Iosa, Dé (Jesus, God)
Who walks to the edge
Feeling tired sometimes cold
Who opens the page
Of a lifetime
Who crosses the bridge
What a wonder it can be
Iosa, Dé (Jesus, God)
If time will embrace
And tomorrow clears the air
If once we could face
Crossing over
If winning this race
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
One, two, three
Life is good, sometimes it's bad
It has its ups, it has its downs
Just sing a song and feel all right
'Cause that's just life
And if you're lost, don't be sad
There are good times, to be had
Just sing a song and let love shine
'Cause that's just life
That's just life, that's just life
So darling, don't cry
And when your hour, it is near
And your friends, they all are here
To share their love and to be kind
It's just life
Oh and when you're gone, you won't be back
I'll remember those, special times we had
I'll sing this song and feel alright
'Cause that's just life
That's just life , that's just life
(feat. Maya Saban)
I miss you - where are you now
I miss you - where have you gone
I miss you - waiting my whole life for you
I miss you - but i never met you yet
I miss you - i believe in dreams
I miss you - i believe in you
I miss you - wouldn´t even recognize
I miss you - but i never met you yet
I miss you - i believe in dreams
I miss you - i believe in you
I miss you - wouldn´t even recognize
I miss you - but i never met you yet

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

My life, my life
[talking:]
Shit, nigga really don't know if you promised tomorrow
I'ma mash today, to make tomorrow better
Know I'm tal'n bout, boys tal'n bout this and that
That and this, trying to get mine right now
[Mr. 3-2:]
Lost my daddy, and I turned to a cold ass man
Feed my fam, always keep a strap in my hand
Understand, I lost my mind on drugs
Damn near died, but I got the heart of a thug
Busting them slugs, when them niggaz get out of line
Shoot seventeen times, leave fools flatline
Down for mine, but some boys ain't bout shit
So I ride with it, in my G.D. whip
Don't even trip fuck niggaz, cause none I avoid
Got my hand on my trigger, cause I stay paranoid
Boy all drama, with the G-O-V
Boss Man, Pimpin' Chris of the S.U.C.
Now see, the picture a whole lot clearer
Staring, at the gangsta in the mirror
What do the future hold for me, I hope a lot of cash
Cause if not, I'm pulling out the black ski mask
[Hook: x4]
In this life, I'm trying to get it with me real fast
Don't know, how long will I last
[Mr. 3-2:]
Don't know how long will I last, steady getting cash
Watching my back, come at me wrong I'ma blast
Fool smash on the freeway, smashing the pedal
Pray to make a million dollars, to get out the ghetto
T-Lady is the love of my life, yes sir
I don't know what I would do, if some'ing happened to her
My niece and my sister, man that's all I got
Fuck with my family, fool you gon get shot
Turning west in a casket, frozen stiff
Got the world on my shoulders, trying to lift
With my gift of gab, tired of feeling sad
Pull up in a Jag, that make a motherfucker mad
I'm mad cause Patrick Hawkins gone, and ain't coming back
Till it's my day to ride, in the hearse Lac
Feel that, while I'm trying to get my head together
But I know in time, everything gon be better
[Hook x4]
[D-Capo:]
Life is fast, like a fastball from a pitcher
A buzz from the liquor, like a bullet from the trigger
Nigga it's serious, boys better watch it
The cops stay on the block, just to take you up off it
Like a stray dog, they put you in the pound
Put you to sleep, and you can't jump back down
Feel me now, I already lost Mafio
I'll be damned if I fall off, and don't let boys know
It's C-R-E-S-T M-O-B
For life nigga, mash in top speed
With my cousin Diggie D's, and my nigga Mr. 3 to the 2
What boys wanna do, we pack a tool
I'm a fool with it, that's why I stay on the cool with it
Boys have it in they hand, don't know what to do with it
I'm through with it, I don't care how long I last
Cause G-O-D, guides me down my path in this life
Waking up on a misty morning
All I want to do is get high
Waking up on a misty morning
All I want to do is get high
Welcome to the stage
This is the sign that makes you want to go on
Welcome to the stage
This is the sign that makes you want to go on, yeah

Never wanted to be this way yeah
All I ever do is puke up
Waking up on a misty morning

Life's a crime
Life's a crime
Life's a crime
Life's a
Life's a
Life's a crime
Life's a crime
Life's a crime
Everything is hungry
Everything wants more
Everything will bleed you
Then beg for an encore
Everything is hungry
Everything wants more
Everything will beat you
And forget why you are sore
Everything is hungry
Everything wants more
Everything will eat you
If you don't eat it, of course
Everything repeats itself
Everything's been done
Life is just a struggle
Light, burn my tender eyes
Sound, let my ears be open now
Seems like ages since those loggers took my life
Now reborn, I feel my soul is dreaming
Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child
Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child
Spirits, dancing all around my grave
Memory, feeling like there's nothing there
And all the strangers faces that do now surround me
Feelings so confused within my mind
Naked, lost and cold, they put their arms around me
I feel compassion now for all mankind
Seems like ages since those loggers took my life
Now reborn, I feel my soul is screaming
Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child
Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child
Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child
Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child
Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child
Life, looking through the eyes of a newborn child
And all the strangers faces that do now surround me
Feelings so confused within my mind
Naked, lost and cold, they put their arms around me
I feel compassion now for all mankind
Life
I got to get out, I got to get out
I got to get out, I got to get out
I got to get out, I got to get out

Once again
We're back
It's the big bad Cypress Hill
You know what time it is
Whoop
Legalize it,
Cypress Hill will ever die at the end?
Legalize it, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
Cypress Hill never dies
Never dies, never dies
Once Upon,
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
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,
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
Now Here it is
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
We've had a good time: easy living like on a summer
day.
We got along fine, even though we haven't had a lot to
say.
It's been alright, but, much to my regret,
I know that if i remain by your side, i might as well
be dead.
So glad we made it!
Time will never change it!
But, finally, i have to get on with my life.
Life is a game that one plays according to the rules.
Forget my name: maybe it will help you—feeling cruel.
I have to move out. got to carry on.
Don't you know that only time will tell if i'm right or
wrong?
So glad we made it!
Time will never change it!
But, finally, i have to get on with my life.
I feel a rush in my blood while i listen to the sound
of music.
Who you are and what you want to be, it doesn't matter
much to me.
So glad we made it!
Time will never change it!
But, finally, i have to get on with my life.
Finally, i have to get on with my life.
Finally, i have to get on with my life.
Finally, i have to get on with my life.
La Fouine:
Tu veux vraiment des enfants d'elle, tu veux pas vieillir seul
T'aime quand elle cligne des cils et els gens laisse les dire ce qu'ils veulent
T'aimerais voir ton enfant pousser, voir ses premi?res dents, voir ses premiers pas
Les laisser pour un rien, tu te le permettrais pas
Faire les choses dans les r?gles, faut faire les choses honn?tement
Faudrait pas qu'? 6 heures du mat frappent ? la porte les emb?tements
T'es quelqu'un qui a chang?, dans ta t?te c'est plus comme avant
Ton avenir tu le vois hallal, dans tes jumelles tes enfants, Willy….
Willy:
Life
C'est souvent s'aimer
Puis se d?tester
Tout ? la fois
Life
La nuit et le jour
Vive le plus bel amour
Sans jamais se voir
Quand il vient vers toi
Tu t'enfuis
Quand il n'est plus l?
Tu penses ? lui
C'est la m?me histoire
Un jour on se prend de plaisir
Le lendemain la peur de te souffrir
Quand finit l'histoire
{Refrain:}
Moi aussi j'ai v?cu ??
Comme d'autres ne connaissent pas
Ressentir des ranc?urs
Fuir devant le bonheur
Essayons encore une fois
D'avancer de faire le pas
Sans vouloir avoir peur
De donner le meilleur
Willy:
Life
C'est parfois go?ter
Au fruit du p?ch?
Rien que pour voir
Oh Life
C'est faire des efforts
Se dire qu'on a tort
Et tout revoir
Quand il vient vers toi
Tu t'enfuis
Quand il n'est plus l?
Tu penses ? lui
C'est la m?me histoire
Un jour on se prend de plaisir
Le lendemain la peur de te souffrir
Quand finit l'histoire
La Fouine:
Je sais tr?s bien que j' pourrais pas changer le monde
T'sais qu'entre nous tout va mal et que sur nos t?tes l'orage gronde
T'sais tr?s bine que je d?gage de mauvaises ondes
Mais bon aujourd'hui je peux compter sur toi au cas o? je tombe
Tu me dis je pense un peu trop ? ma carri?re mais aussi ? notre villa en bord de mer
A notre BM avec si?ge b?b? derri?re, j'en ai marre qu'on s'embrouille tous les soirs
Car on passe plus de temps ensemble et qu'au studio je finisse tard

Si c'?tait ? refaire
Je ferais tout pour que tu restes

L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insecurity, my head down in these streets
F my future, there isn't one
E eternal hope and this is my life
I wake up everyday 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, even though she could've
I'm ashamed, ashamed of my life
Papa tried to sell me twice on the late night stop by
Look in my eyes, bags from the tears that I cried
And the people who lied
Telling me that this was my place
Phony tried to smile in my face
But I should've knew something was real
Smile when she open the mail
Kept a nice mink on her back
Meanwhile I got a goose and my goose's got patches
I'm so mad, this is me, I'm so hurt, this is me
So why should it be but I'm a be alright though
L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insecurity, my head down in these streets
F my future, there isn't one
E eternal hope and this is my life
I'm pregnant by a dude and he's not 16
But I like his style, his whip is mean
My momma told me to find a man to take care of me
And he does buy me things but he beats on me
I come to her for a little advice
She tolds her something's up with a black eye
Telling me to know my place
So I stay, wait for my body phase
Telling myself that it's a lil' pregnancy phase
When all in reality I'm being discouraged
And disrespected and under depression
And I don't really blame the man
I blame my mother for not teaching me the different types of man
Life never understood its stand
My side of the story being that it's so consistent
18 years and 9 months developing, raising in prison
I guess I'll never make a difference
L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insecurity, my head down in these streets
F my future, there isn't one
E eternal hope and this is my life
Born orphans with nothing to offer is the least of my problems
Parents like déjàvu, stomach is starving
3 months pregnant idiotically I departed
So ashamed of a life that was started
I ask God if He could take the pain away
He made me in denial of every word I pray
Everyday it's the same old no talent
I'm feeling like my life is unbalanced
No telling what tomorrow gonna look like, yeah right
Wrapped up in a fast light for suicidal act
Why is my life set up for failure y'all
I can care less what the people say to y'all
We break out in rage, venting all the hurt inside
Who am I to tell you what you failed to realize
The voice that you hold within you
The voice that you are, the voice of the young people
L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insecurity, my head down in these streets
F my future, there isn't one
Nights, nights of the Ice Age
Wind soft, the land was asleep
Like the ice, ice in our memories
Melting finally
In the fire of life, life
Oh heat divine, life
This fire that created universes
Life, life
Their old world in ruins
The dreamers fell to their knees
No common war to arrange them
They dreamt of common peace
It's the end, end of an empire
No more lines in the sand
And the dawn, dawn of a new world
Gone, imperial man
In the fire of life, life
Oh heat divine, life
This fire that created universes
Life, life
Ooh, life
In the fire of life, life
Oh heat divine, life
This fire that created universes
Life, life
Another page of history
Another failed and hopeless year
Of wasted life and wasted time
Long ago you sang a tune
Of running from a painful youth
And now it's dry, you're wondering why
Talk to me, reveal how lost your life must seem
All the wonderful things that you could never achieve
Now you're out of time, your life is dry, you're wondering why
Remember how it used to be
You were young and love was cheap
And every night was fire and wine
Now you face another year
In a lonely state, in an empty place
Wiping dry your crying eyes
Wipe and dry your crying eyes
Talk to me, reveal how lost your life has been
All the wonderful things that you could never achieve
Now you're out of time, you're life is dry, you're wondering why
... I lost the rainbow
Behind that cloud, i lost the rainbow there
It's hard getting over all the rain
RED LIGHT BLUE LIGHT GREEN LIGHT I’M RUNNING
I’M SO SCARED
ALWAYS IN A HURRY
I’M A BACKSTREET BOY WITH A BODY FULL OF TATTOOS
MY PARENTS DON’T WANT ME
I’M LIVING ON THE STREET
LIFE IT AIN’T EASY
LIFE IT AIN’T FAIR
FOR YOU LIFE’S GONNA BE A PITY
IF YOU DON’T STOP NECKIN’ THE SLEEPING DEVIL IN ME
GUNFIGHT FISTFIGHT ALWAYS I’M IN TROUBLE
GOT NO FRIENDS BUT THE
RATS IN THE STREET
I GOT A HOMELESS HEART NOONE TO LEAN ON
THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE
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
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
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
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
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
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,
who's that that girl that everybody watches when she walks by
(walks by)
who's that girl she's get herself together and she's not shy
*chorus*
whenever we're together and the sun is shining
and there's magic in the air
cuz we're young and free feel like we can live forever
one, two, three we'll always be together
L.I.F.E. it just keeps getting better now
what's your dream can you see it in the world that's around you
don't you know you can be anything that you want to
anytime there's always a place we can stop by (stop by, stop by)
walk and talk, telling stories, telling jokes, laugh til we cry
whenever we're together and the sun is shining
and there's magic in the air
cuz we're young and free feel like we can live forever
one, two, three we'll always be together
L.I.F.E. it just keeps getting better now
it's not about the way that you look
it's not about the clothes that you wear
it's all about the friends that you have
it's all about the way they care
whenever we're together and the sun is shining
and there's magic in the air
cuz we're young and free feel like we can live forever
one, two, three we'll always be together
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!
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
Trying to realize what's going on in your mind
'n' if the reflection will show something I don't want to find
This is the moment the time this is what I'm going to do
I'm going to find a solution and get just over you
You're telling lies, you're telling lies
You're the devil in disguise (2x)
Why you leaving me tonight
You said we'd always be together
We made promises for life
Now you say nothing lasts forever (2x)
Nothing, nothing, nothing lasts forever (2x)
This is the time in my life when I will do what is right
Not gonna waste my emotions no point picking a fight
What you're demanding from me ain't gonna happen for sure
No no not in this lifetime never no more
You're telling lies, you're telling lies
You're the devil in disguise (2x)
Why you leaving me tonight
You said we'd always be together
We made promises for life
Now you say nothing lasts forever (2x)
Nothing, nothing, nothing lasts forever (2x)
Why you leaving me tonight
You said we'd always be together
We made promises for life
Now you say nothing lasts forever (2x)
I came up with my man, same hood, same age
Witheld names to protect the guilty and
Your boy Free was filthy, same clothes, different day
Be the first to admit it, while niggaz claim to be
willies, hey
We cleaned up the first donny I drove
Cooled up the first tommy I seen, follow the flow
Smoke a timmy, with this semi, made his chimney move
Nerves made his body shake, everybody froze
So young with a pump and a mac
Still manage to make it the magic, the bad kids
On the block, with a bundle of crack, package of pills
All heads will try to teach us to rhyme
He said Muhammed walk with a sword, I roll with a gat
This the same shit, different day, from times
Now my man Book ain't writing me back
So I figured, I'll try to reach 'em with rhymes, no
listen to Mac
[Chorus: singer]
We thuggin' for life
Gonna take it, oww
And then enough
Ain't no mistakin'
But it's for life, it's my life
Not for the taking
[Beanie Sigel]
To all my boys in the hood, the East coast throw boy
back
From the land of them throw boys black
I keep my toast in the hood, gon' squeeze
Hope you throw yours back
Come to the streets to bring my homeboys back
Blew my mind out this piece, but I'm always back
I got sheet in my air, like mac, fall away back
Shiit, I'm trynna come way up
And make the path so freak, I tear the runaway up
Uh, my life a bitch with a period on
But still I keep it real, dog, I'm hittin' it raw
And I don't know how to carry this bitch
Sometime I wanna marry this bitch
Sometimes I feel like quitting this whore
But I can't cause it feel like, giving it all
I've been on so fucking much, feel like my living was
But in my lifetime, I'm a deliver regrets
Still with the evils, know that one day I'ma sit with
the boss
[Chorus]
[Freeway] (Beanie Sigel)
It's not even close, we throw toast, sleep with ya gats
It's the worst of both hoods, holla at 'em Mac
(Follow up exact with the Mac, and the v
Get back, if you happen to see, the Mac or Free, at
where you be)
I be where you at, I come where you live
The cat untuckle the gat, manuever the thing
(The Mac untuckin' a pump, removin' they wig, with ease
Hear the feds trynna ruin the boss Sieg'
Before they kill me like Cornbread, you be like Diallo
Before I'm stuck like luima, I be up when you need it)
And I'ma ride for you, lace up my sneakers, puffin' my
reefer
Tuckin' my heater, duckin' your rounder, uh
Tell 'em tricks they gonna die when I see 'em
Let 'em know my friend colt 45 trynna meet with they
mind
But we keep drama, think, rhyme is the reason
And Freeway the reason that you tied up in pajamas, uh
When your day is long
And the night - the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough of this life
Hang on
Don't let yourself go
'cause everybody cries
and everybody hurts, sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much of this life
Hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand, oh no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
no, no, no, you're not alone
If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much of this life, to hang on
Well, everybody hurts
sometimes, everybody cries
And everybody hurts, sometimes
But everybody hurts, sometimes
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
You're not alone
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
(Lokua Kanza)
On ne sait pas où on va
il y a trop de problèmes
où est-ce qu'on est,
où est-ce qu'on vit
où est-ce qu'on est,
qu'où on va?
je ne comprends rien
qu'est-ce qu'on est,
où on va?
où on vit
et voilà, et voici,
c'est un monde moderne
c'est ce qu'on nous dit
Shivering, shameful
these words will not bring you success
you better turn yourself into
positive stack of thoughts
bravery and determination
keep your heart open for these
cuz it's really hard to compete
I'm not saying the world is cruel
I'm not going to tell you what to do now
but listen here, I'm whispering some words
see it, do it, it's all up to you!
Shivering, shameful
these words will not bring you success
life will show you
what you have to do and how to bring out your best
lead your life with your own decisions
take your part, make your way up to...
to the top!
I'm not saying the world is cruel
I'm not going to tell you what to do now
but listen here, I'm whispering some words
(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
Ha, life is tough
But not for you, you fool
You always complain
Whether it?s hot or it rains
I never see the sun shine from you
More of that, more of this
I don?t see anything you miss
Your life, the way you planned it, didn't come true
You told me you were broke
This must be a joke
I see you at the restaurant all day
Do you think it?s very funny
To say you have no money
And spend it like you spend your life away?
Life was too good to you
But you just celebrate, yeah
Don?t ever hesitate, no
To complain, you fool
Life was too good to you
It's gonna bury your legs, yeah
And just break your neck, yeah
You gonna fall, you fool
Ha, you gonna fall
You drive down the road
Thinking your Mercedes is too old
Tomorrow you will buy a new car
You can always ask your father
If not, I?m sure your mother gives you money
But this time you won?t get far, no
Next day new car is gone
At night they rob your home
They broke your arm while you tried to escape
When you be living in the street
With nothing left to eat
Then you will finally say, ?Life is great?
Life was too good to you
But you just celebrate, yeah
Don?t ever hesitate, no
To complain, you fool
Life was too good to you
It's gonna bury your legs, yeah
And just break your neck, yeah
You gonna fall, you fool
Life was too good to you
It's gonna bury your legs, yeah
And just break your neck, yeah
You gonna fall, you fool
Goodbye my friend, good luck
Just waiting for a break
Now, it?s much too late
Your life is a mistake
Yeah, but sorry it?s the end
It?s time you complaining
Won't make you rich, my friend, no
Just waiting for a break
Now, it?s much too late
Your life is a mistake
Yeah, but sorry it?s the end
It?s time you complaining
in a maze of feelings
i lost myself
my colored window
now piece of broken glass
i can't stand it anymore
but i always do
how much more i'll have to give?
life's a neverending story
of disappointment
hunger yearns, greed is turning
good to bad
i wish so much to tell
but noone hears
i'm always wondering
how much more all take from me
taking this, taking that
again and again
simple hated life
nothing will remain
let me be
when will i be free?
crumbling walls i wanna see
i am sick of useless stories
now it's time for me to worry
[Verse 1: Chip Tha Ripper]
Yeah, ambitions of a nigga tryna see a better life
And everything I do I take my time and do it right
No felonies no kids I'm 23 how did I pass?
Ain't proud of shit I did I ain't get caught but that's my past
A grown man lives with decisions that he makes
Lay low watch out for schemin' hoes who try to get this cake
And watch out for these groupie niggas, they be Hella fake
Slowin' down this rap so you can soak up what I say
But lettin these niggas know Cleveland is back on the map and you niggas can't stop it
My shit is so undeniable niggas can't hate me cause they will look awkward
Fuckin' stick out like a sore thumb
Me and three bitches a foursome
Fuck it let's have some more fun
Hoes all up on the tour bus
Livin my dream you niggas is still tryna figure it out
The problem in my hood is flood not drought
Taking full advantage of these opportunities in life
Yeah I hear your plans but you gotta do that shit iight!
[Hook 1:]
This shit'll probably never be the same again [x4]
This shit'll probably nevaaaaa [x2]
This shit'll probably never be the same again [x2]
[Hook 2: Chip Tha Ripper]
Every corner blowin' never know my next move
Ridin' smokin' thinkin' bout some shit I got to do
Life, mothafuckin' life
And I ain't never see none of this shit coming, did you?
Just tryna get my niggas on the same shit too
Life mothafuckin' life
[Verse 2: Chip Tha Ripper]
Yeah, just copped my mama a Mercedes Benz
Don't ever let a nigga tell you chip ain't got no ends
Searching for, peace within and not no extra friends
These raps will make you feel like I'm your homie next to Kin
So familiar, so mothafuckin' real
My niggas who gettin this paper watch out for the haters who grip on the wheel
Was brought up by only the realest the killas and dealas and taught by the best
I don't need nothing that you got to offer my nigga I'm set
Take a wift of this aroma smoke'll put you in a coma
Make it more than all my teachers I told them keep that diploma
Don't need it motherfuckers watch how quick I get this paper
A lot of niggas claim they great but we know chip is greater
And they less than what I was way back in the day
Listen up close bitch soak up what I say:
Taking full advantage of these opportunities in life
Yeah I hear your plans but you gotta do that shit iight!
[Hook 1:]
This shit'll probably never be the same again [x4]
This shit'll probably nevaaaaa [x2]
This shit'll probably never be the same again [x2]
[Hook 2: Chip Tha Ripper]
Every corner blowin' never know my next move
Ridin' smokin' thinkin bout some shit I got to do
Life, mothafuckin' life
And I ain't never see none of this shit coming, did you?
Just tryna get my niggas on the same shit too
Have you ever had a day when nothing goes your way.
All you do seems to be in vain and everything is just a waste of your time.
But have you ever had that moment in Life, when everything was cool,yeah.
Didn't have to worry about the time, it all went as it should, you were having the greatest moment in life yeah.
Don't you worry bout the past cause it's gonna be what it is. All that you can do is try to make your future beautiful, beautiful. Just let it be the greatest moment in life...
I remember almost every December when we were critters, and momma said that there was only one thing she could give us, well God must have been with us, cause it is heavenly joy, for you to wake up Christmas morning to every toy, then there's the birth of my boy, he'll take inherit that rhythym, and when I see it in him I'll ask myself what more can I give him, and I would love to, but I can't spend every moment with him, it's those big ol eyes that encourage me to keep on living.
Hey, ooh when I sing, I'm sharing, I'm rhyming I'm shining my light,and although love is blind, and I still end up finding my wife. And all I can do is reminence cause her there's no rewinding my life, but the future's so bright it's almost blind in my sight. Hey.
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't make it
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
Beg your father
Don't wait don't bother
Sooner or later, you will discover
Tell your mother
Respect your sister, talk to your brother
Don't wait don't bother
You will discover
Tell your mother
Respect your sister
Don't wait don't bother
You will discover
Life is a trap but I'm not stupid
I try to turn back but I can't do it
All my mistakes I'll make it through it
Life is a trap but I'm not stupid
Tried to get through it all
But I always seem to trip and fall
Try to get up again
I see alone is how I stand
I need your hands to break my fall
My back is sore my legs are weak
It's hard to stand for what you speak
Yeah my life sucks
I feel the pressure of your morality
You can't hide your superficiality
My opinion makes no difference
I'm too fucking tired to walk the distance
Yeah my life sucks
I try to see the purpose in the things you do
Once you fuck with me man I'm gonna fuck with you
Throughout the years I mellowed but now I'm back
Taking no blame for the brains you lack
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
Everybody's looking for some tenderness
No-ones born to live this life alone
Everybody's special in their own way
When they don't know what they want to say
It takes time to get it right
Life's for living don't you throw it away - give it away
Life's not living when you're running away
Live it today
I guess it's alright
Everyone is waiting for a guiding hand we only live to stay alive
No-ones born to live this life alone we search too fast too slow can never hide
Everybody's special in their own way
When they don't know what they want to say
It takes time to get it right
Life's for living don't you throw it away - give it away
Life's not living when you're running away
Life's for living don't you throw it away - give it away
Life's not living when you're running away
Live it today
Let me talk to you
You see you can't run and you can't hide
Cause everybody's looking through the private eye
Why criticise, just live your life
Try to compromise and live it right
Cause we're in it together part of a chain reaction
And words can speak louder than actions
They're watching over you and everything you do
Your every move and whatever you choose
We can't aford to lose because we need each other
To watch one another just like Big Brother
See two times six equals twelve people and we're all part of the sequel
Trying to stay alive and just live out life
Everybody's looking I guess it's alright
You can't run and you can't hide
Cause everybody's looking through the private eye
Life's for living don't you throw it away - give it away
Life's not living when you're running away
Live it today
Life's for living don't you throw it away - give it away
Life's not living when you're running away
I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need your hate
I don't need your acceptance
So what should I do?
I don't need your resistance
I don't need your prayers
I don't need no religion
I don't need a thing from you
I don't do what I've been told
You're so lame why don't you just go
Die mother fucker die mother fucker die
Die mother fucker die mother fucker die
Die mother fucker die mother fucker die
Die mother fucker die mother fucker die
I don't need your prison
I don't need your pain
I don't need your decision
So what should I do?
I don't need your approval
I don't need your hope
I don't need your lectures
I don't need a thing from you
I'll be sorry when I'm old
You're so full of shit, man, just go
Die mother fucker die mother fucker die
Die mother fucker die mother fucker die
Die mother fucker die mother fucker die
Die mother fucker die mother fucker die
Boom, boom
I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need your hate
I don't need your acceptance

Who's that girl that everybody watches when she walks
by (walks by)
Who's that girl, she's got it so together and she's not
Whenever we're together, the sun is shining and there's
magic in the air
Cause we're young and free
Feel like we can live forever
One, two, three
We'll always be together
L.I.F.E.
It just keeps getting better now
What's your dream, can you see it in the world that's
around you
Don't you know you can be anything that you want to
Anytime, there's always a place we can stop by (stop
by, stop by)
Walk and talk, telling stories, telling jokes, laugh
til we cry
Whenever we're together, the sun is shining and there's
magic in the air
Cause we're young and free
Feel like we can live forever
One, two, three
We'll always be together
L.I.F.E.
It just keeps getting better now
It's not about the way that you look
It's not about the clothes that you wear
It's all about the friends that you have
It's all about the way that they care
Whenever we're together, the sun is shining and there's
magic in the air
Cause we're young and free
Feel like we can live forever
One, two, three
We'll always be together
L.I.F.E.
Made of love
Made of sin
Mayday - calling from outer space
I dive right 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 irresistable
Life! Life!
Crazy unpredictable
You go Hu Hu Hu
If you want some action
Shocking irresistable
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 brinck in the wall
I'm alive and I'm dead
And I'm ready for the take off
Life...
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
Some say it's hell, some say it's pain
Many say it's nothing that a heart can't tell
Still i'm innocent about these things
And i'm fearing 'bout the things i'm saying
How can one say, how can one tell
The future that's fast becoming
There may be days, there may be nights
That's coming in your life.
I say hello, you say goodbye
It's a thirst that keeps you dry
How can i hold me
If you can't hold me
It has always been my desire
I call your name
But you won't come
My mind can't open
When you're not done
What's coming up,
What's coming down
What's waiting in your life?
I saw a man six feet high
And asked him about his life
He said, "I'm tall but can't reach the sky."
I think I met a girl
Who likes to make me happy everyday
Then I bought a ring
To try and make her never go away
I bet there's half a million people
That feel the way I do
I don't have to drink a river now
Just to get on through
Then I lost a friend
A ruthless heart makes laughter slip away
I never took the time to think
About the senseless game we play
I bet there's half a million people
That feel the way I do
I don't have to drink a river now
Just to get on through
Then I lost the plot
And went and chased my sweetheart far away
Now I've realised
Life is not an easy game to play
I bet there's half a million people
That feel the way I do
I don't have to drink a river now
Could I find it out there
If I could fall asleep now
Would you stay and ease my pain?
Could you see me running?
And Would you come to my dreams?
Would you hold me just a while?
Just a while and give me
Life
Give me peace
Give me space in your protection
Give me light
Give me Love
Give me hope inside your arms
Whenever I get lost
Could you give me shelter?
Would you stay at my side?
Would you try to Stop the rain?
Would you hold me out there?
If Could I reach you somehow?
Would you save me I can´t breathe
And give me
Life
Give me peace
Give me space in your protection
Give me light
Give me Love
Give me hope inside your arms
Whenever I get lost
Whenever I get lost
Whenever I get lost
Give me Life
Give me peace
Give me space in your protection
Give me light
Give me Love
Give me hope inside your arms
Whenever I get lost
Whenever I can´t speak
Whenever I don´t find
A way right out there
Whenever i can´t feel
Whenever i can´t cry
Whenever i don´t see
The way back home
The way back home
My way back home
[Verse 1]
What you know about short days and them long nights, boy?
Tryna get your bread up
But my homie caught him a life sentence, damn…
Hope he keep his head up
And I made it this far simple ’cause, why?
I stay prayed up
And I’m clearly past my limit
Tryna maintain my image
Gotta push start for my engine
I kick, push then go get it
For all my dead peers I pour Henny
To the single mothers, get money
Boy, my ribs touchin’ and I’m hungry
LOL but ain’t shit funny
I’m spaced out, I’m blunted
Will I make it out, should I wonder?
All them crabs up in that bucket
Trying their best to pull the kid under
I don’t think so
That fake shit’ll make me go loco
Unroll, why not? Just slow coast
I’m too deep, man, my four-four
And her ass fat, but I can handle that
Her hair down when she throw her back
Life…
[Verse 2]
The game funny so I don’t play
Big money, nigga, heavyweights
Successfully every level, so I graduate
With high honour, marijuana, I’mma levitate
Present that sideways slang, I’mma set you straight
Should’ve never came in this game if you couldn’t accelerate
You’ve been ran over, flatlined, pancaked
Maintain in the family is a must, I would of died to
Do anything for my peeps
But it seems they would rather see me sleep six feet deep
But when I'm on my feet somebody got they hand out though
That'll feel me broke the heat be hiding the rain watch me soke
That's the millennium love if you can pay your way, maybe you can stay
In the mean time they hate you everyday
Want to see me and my baby girl break it off
Haters'll stop they self-defense friends every ten minutes drop it's off
When three's comany and four is a crowd
And my situation is seven everybody else can move around
Look at your friends and your friends peeping, they burn bridges
In they household, come into your home and try to repeat it
Got you looking at your people meaning shit
When it's over you're lonely talking about I should of seen that shit
[Chorus - 2x]
Take a look at my life, everybody around here so shife
No love, no sacrifice, fellas in the street ain't acting right
[Z-Ro]
Watch your enemies dog, keep them close like your block
Most of the ones closest to you cause they want what you got
Long as you spending money on them and your buying the drugs
They gone be down like four flats and ain't trying to budge
Say they love you everytime you rolling up the doe-doe
But when your ends don't spend they tend to leave you solo
I know, that's why I love Z-Ro, cause ain't nobody else gone love me
I think of myself, y'all don't think of me
I'm all alone but guess what, that's alright
Even though they use me for a punching bag, that's alright
Even if my woman don't want me no more, that's alright
I got jesus and I can conversate with him all night
Give me a split that's what I'm asking
Cause I get reary ducking haters as they passing
I wish I was a sociable person, but socializing ain't for me
I want to die by myself in these streets cause that's love
[Mr. 3-2]
It ain't no love no more everybody about the dollar
That's why when I pass by the G-O-V don't holler
I pop my collar and don't follow nobody
Keep god first and don't need no killumanati
To put it on your mind cause I say on no pages
Stacking big faces and travel to many places
Sipping ski tastes straight out the gallon
Why don't you take a lick and don't swallow ?
The games is backstabbing, crooked it ain't right
Friends or kin folk it don't matter we can fight
It's whenever when we were boss want to do
Cause I'ma pull dollar prime till I'm dead and I'm thorugh
[Chorus - 2x]
[H2O]
A lot of friends turn to foes over money and hoes
I can't believe my best homie ain't my nigga no more
Remember days of playing hookie in the streets for fun
Now I'm getting dirty looks got me clutching my gun
On the one, I'ma shine like the sun my nigga
If I'm so low when I'm riding with some thugging niggas
Family members even say that I ain't use to shit
Cause I stay high all day straight abusing shit
[Z-Ro]
Cause lord knows Z-Ro ain't got no regular living
Even though I'm, trying I feel as if I'm headed to prison
Or headed to the grave, could it be I'm running out of time
Feeling hopeless, I lost my mama then I lost my mind
Will I heal in time, scarred up with bruise and shot
But see the pain is in my brain, hitting like a stash spot
My life, my life, full of drama and bullshit
We burn this out of my foes pull quick, where the love at
Check it out yow.

Ignore the lies
And words that seep in
Don't let this life slip
Past your grip again
So little time
So much to breathe in
There's much to lose
But so much more to gain
CHORUS
When you take a look in inside
See the beauty that now lies behind
All your doubts and fears
There is life so clear
When you take it
Do not despise
Let love surround you
Open your eyes
To life that burst within
Swallow your pride
Exhaust on nothings
Take hold and fight
Strong willed
You will survive
CHORUS
As suffers you will find
What is beautiful, divine
And where there is strength out here
There is life so clear
When you take it
CHORUS
As the suffer you will find
What is beautiful, divine
And where there is strength out here
They slippin' duke, you slippin' duke, you trippin' duke
Remember, you still livin' in a corporate chicken coop
With a hundred other chickens yellin' get that loot
Makin' a hundred other chickens tryin' to spit what's cute
But KRS spits the fruit, my words are not hollow
I'll lead you out the chicken suit
You slippin' duke, I got proof, spit truth in the club
So the colleges man, we get so loose, what's the use?
You slippin' duke, how America great when Iraq had no nukes
Now oops, whatever happened to samples and loops?
The same thing that happened to organs and flutes and real artists
Thank God for The Roots, the soldier that's home with his family
Support for the troops, yeah, now let's start this
I've taught many groups, been through many suits
Teachin' new recruits that can't take it back to hula hoops
I know we're on mute, stand up straight
I'm like sky walker without the loot, you slippin' duke
At 8 you're a sucker, at 7 a motherfucker
Talk your talk, degrade my character
Your remarks are amateur, the future laughs at ya
I got much stamina and I know my facts
I am hip-hop, I don't speak for blacks
I speak for hip-hop's preservation and only that
Peace love unity, I'm known for that
What's your hassle with me, man? No man is ownin' me
You just mad 'cause I lead hip-hop globally
Your hassle is that, I'm an international cat
You know in any debate, I'm smashin' your crap
When it comes to hip-hop, you behind
'Cause I've been organizin' this politically since 1989
I stay selective, the objective peace of mind
I am hip-hop and so are you don't be so blind
Use the key next time, you know my roots
But listen, dog, you slippin' duke
You wanna hear a fresh rhyme, you'll come to the source
Stamp BDP on your head then you're off
At 8 you're a sucker, at 7 a motherfucker
Do not attempt to diss 'cause you're soft
Life life
Just another weekend closing
There's another monday morning rising
Days they seem to get shorter hey
Right before my very eyes hey
chorus
Life everyday its getting harder
Oh life rougher everyday
Oh life everyday its getting harder
Oh life tougher everyday
Strike another match to light the fire
There's another mouth to feed
I send little Jimmy to fetch the water
Lord knows just how I feel
repeat chorus
Cause I'm feeling the pain yeah
Cause I'm feeling the pain
He who feels it knows it
As we're feeling the chill of a whistling breeze
Man made rules the system keeps us down
As we're fighting the fight for the young ones
repeat chorus 2x
rougher every day
oh life oh life
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

And That?s Ok
Those Times I Feel So Down And Blue

You know I will be there for you everyday
And if you still think that this will never work
Then you have to know that one day you will beg for
more
You'll will see what it was
You'll feel what it happen
I'm the best that you can get
Take it now or it's too late
It's all about me and you
It's all about the things you do
It's all about life
Oh life

Come here Royce
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
You gotta keep going on, you gotta keep moving on
Be strong, be strong, be strong
Let me paint a picture for these suburb niggas
This the hood
Dope fiends, syringes on the cracked concrete,
Lie next to a dirty dipper, life on the streets is real (real)
Fiends forming crack packs at night
And sell they daughter's brand new bike to fill a pipe
It's sad. We've got it bad, weed bags and dutches
Re-lax and puff it escape reality
Until your high come down, you look around
And see the same thing you seen before you gave duke a pound
And copped your little chronic, it's off the hook in the projects
Parents hooked on drugs, these kids hooked on phonics
How little man gonna concentrate on ABC's
When he gotta go down the hall to watch they TV (cause you done sold his)
[Chorus: x2]
L - You live it, don't like it but learn to love it
I - It ain't fair, but who cares, you gotta thug it
F - For sheezee my attitizee is fuck it
E - Either you roll or get rolled on it's nothing
I was probably 9 or 10 when I picked up my pen
Down in Short's crib, listenin to Criss-Cross then
That's when my verses had a million curses and 10 gats
Fast cars, and I ain't know where the gas peddle was at (you know)
10 years old, peddling crack, at least to me I was
See hood youngins wanna be like thugs
Straight A students got laughed at and called a herb
By people in they class that wished they could be called a nerd
But they ain't take time to sound out all of they words
So they covered it up with jokes and cut to smoke herbs
And fill cups with alcohol, over school nights
Parents needed a Tylenol, teachers ain't know they child at all
At home they weren't wild at all, but when they got to school
Bad influences and peer pressure was pilling on
Quote unquote cool crowds was where they wanted to fit in
A lot of them wish they didn't now they all got addictions
Winter time, out in the cold, sniffling on a mission
To find something that which is cool when they was school skippin
If they could turn back hands they would have took school different
But ain't no time machines
Now they stuck in the mind of fiends
Feeling sorry for they selves, life is mean and
Shorty they was feeling now proudly sports a diamond ring
That the nerd gave to her - Wishing they was the one that was engaged to her
Now who's the cool crowd?
[Chorus: x2]
L - You live it, don't like it but learn to love it
I - It ain't fair, but who cares, you gotta thug it
F - For sheezee my attitizee is fuck it
I slip into your gown, and sleep until it's noon,
And I hold that thought for hours, before holding up the moon.
I slip into your home, and sleep until it's late,
And I hold that head for hours, before getting out of state.
Drop high, don't stow away heartache.
Don't run away until a fifth of the walls hit their mark.
Grow shy, don't steal away keepsakes.
Don't run away until the fourth of the horses has marched.
Glowing cold, glowing old, glowing time.
Brought the seal of a kiss of a fallback light.
Laughing out, breathing in, holding time.
Sit on back, open arms at a foreign light.
I'll watch for a sudden chime of all the better times ahead,
And bang the nails into the door, and cross the stars around my head.
And if God's a state of mind, I think I'll split and live in the country,
All that noise, all that noise, sizzling in the background every time.
Glowing cold, glowing old, glowing time.
Brought the seal of a kiss, on a wall, of a fallback light.
Laughing out, breathing in, holding time.
Sitting back in a chair, open arms at a falling kite.
And the words you bought run on ice.
And the words you bought run on ice.
And the words you bought run on ice.
And the words you bought run on ice.
[(Intro)]
Hello everybody
Today we're gonna listen to two stories
About two different people
And how life can be a bitch
So get ready, here we go!
{Chorus}
Life is just a bitch when you've got noone
Life is just pointless if you've got no gun
Life is worth nothing if noone loves you
Life is a crazy thing, be careful what you do
(Verse 1)
Hey mom
Where's my music at?
(You don't need that stupid crap)
Quit callin it crap
Why you always doin that?
I swear
Son, gimme more lip, I'll beat your ass bare
Forget it, I'm outta here, I'm better off out there
Oh shit
Slammed the door in my face and locked it
Now I'm outside and it's cold, without a jacket
I said Mom
Lemme back in
I didn't mean I's leavin
I meant I was just goin outside to do some thinkin
She laughed and said
Well you got plenty of time to think now
And I will ll call the cops if you do not leave now
I said mom
I'm hungry
Just please let me back in
I'm starvin, I'm blackin out
This might be the end
She opened the door, and slammed it in my face again
Then laughed hysterically, so I got mad and kicked it in
She called the cops
And then they hauled me off
Now I'm sittin in a jail cell
With nobody to gimme bail
{Chorus}
(Verse 2)
It's was like
Hey trick
Wanna suck my dick
And the I loved her
With a rubber
So we wouldn't have kids
But then 2 days later I got syphillis
I went to docter, he said I had 6 weeks to live
I went back out on the streets to find the bitch
To strangle her and murder her for givin me this
I stumbled on the block
My vision was gettin hazy
I whipped out my gat
And I started to act crazy
I was walkin up to her and I could barely limp
And then outta nowhere popped out the stupid bitches pimp
He approached me in order to take my gun
I cocked my gun back and filled his skull with one
I turned to the trick to tell her she better run
But before I could, she grabbed a knife and stabbed my lung
I stared at my chest as my blood started to run
It was then that it dawned on me just what I have done
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 proffesion, 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
See these signs on my face
those are the scars of my mistakes,
praying I need saving
second chances came and went
money made was money spent
playing desperation
though i repent of every sin
no religion
I feel ashamed I am to blame
find
It's another life
I can't believe the things that I see
Seems like paradise
I walk behind
You looking at me
My creation
It's another life
This sensation
Is walking on hot ice
It's another life
But you don't have to be what they say
It's a different kind
Of love running through you inside
My creation
It's another life
This sensation
Is walking on hot ice
In your life
Everything you feel in life
Never try to turn your life
Into something that you'll never sleep at night
You'll run into alone
Hot ice...
It's another night
But I can sleepwalking into my mind
Just another night
But the time don't go anywhere
My creation
It's another life
This sensation
Walking on hot ice
In your life
Everything you feel in life
Never try to turn your life
Into something that you'll never sleep at night
You'll run into alone

[Hook: Frukwan]
Yo, what's the meaning of life?
Yo, somebody please tell me.
What's the meaning of life?
Yo, somebody gots to help me
Yo, what's the meaning of life?
Yo, somebody please tell me.
[Frukwan]
I look inside the mirror and look in myself, I'm hopin' for help
Everyday I'm hopin' for a brand new strife
The shores of North America, I'm bound to survive
Though I'm not the same, yo I carry a gift
Tricked and sold his cargo on the bowels of ships
But yo, I got my pride, tighten up my stand
Lookin' at the stars, the original man.
Never thought that it would ever come to this
Migrate really wasn't a time when life was great
I wanna go home to the Bering Straights
A place where I know where my kid's is safe
Thoughts of runnin' foul like a rampant disease
Yet, my skin tone really couldn't bring the ease
Gettin' weaker by the day, months and years
Thousands of years we reign, but now I shed a tear
[Chorus: Frukwan]
Yo, what's the meaning of life?
Yo, somebody please tell me.
What's the meaning of life?
Yo, somebody gots to help me
Yo, what's the meaning of life?
Yo, but do you know?
[Frukwan]
Inhale and exhale the breath of mist
Each and every day a new way to exist
Don't wanna use a gun, shoot drugs and dope
Don't wanna wear a cross, 'cuz it brings no hope
In the beginnin' as we know, started back in the land
Well defined, their complexion was just like mines
Come to find we was lead and upon direct
Now we cheat, steal and kill and lost all respect
How much pain would you take before you break the chain?
Most of us don't even care, we was planted with fear
We say the babies are the future, but what's the fuss?
Broken homes, growin' up, they act worse than us
Since we all been double-crossed, sins we wear with pride
Believe the lies, yet, still ain't open our eyes
Lookin' forward to the day that I fast and pray
These is questions that I always say
[Chorus]
[Frukwan]
Goin' through a struggle, yeah it's hard at first
Bein' put down, shunned, ragged, tagged and dragged
The inner strength leave the soul through a body of one
Can't be mad, yo, I'm glad, cuz I know where I'm from
Priceless, I'm like a treasure, I can't be touched
Made an image of myself from the grains of dust
Mold and shape the woman with the curves of a snake
Travel lightyears away and then return to base
Eliminatin' evil's more like a daily chore
Teachin' my ways, that's how I spend most of my days
Balance attack, never been scared to be black
Manifestin' only actual facts
Savin' the kids, spreadin' love, yo, that's how to life
Justice is my reward for the acts that I did
Think about all the things in time, seek and you'll find
Yo, I wanna go home, I got's to know
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 !
I said my heart would never break
I could have tried to meet you half way
But now and then we make mistakes
Oh I should have tried to change your mind, begging you to stay
I did all the right things to hurt you
And I stood by watching while you hurt inside
Oh I should have seen it in your eyes
But I didn’t realise
Thought that I could take losing you, but I just can’t make it
I know that I could win, but being alone just won’t do
Being on my own, everything’s so different without you
I made you think you were wrong
I led you to believe in the lie
While I was weak, you were strong
Oh but now you see the change in me, won’t you let me try
I hope that you’re reading my letter
That I’m crying out to you in every line
Tell me how could I have been so blind
Now I need you all the time
Thought that I could take losing you, but I just can’t make it
I know that I could win, but being alone just won’t do
Being on my own, everything’s so different without you
Thought that I could take the load by myself
Now I know that I need you and no-one else
Thought that I could take losing you, but I just can’t make it
I know that I could win, but being alone just won’t do
Being on my own, everything’s so different
Oh, no, no, no, no, no it just won’t do
Being on my own, everything’s so different without you
I said my heart would never break

“Life, life is the most enchanting gift you have”
You said to me when I was crying
And I felt your embrace
Hearing your sweet voice
And soon my tears were dried out from my eyes
In moments of deep uncertainty sometimes
You asked me to be your confidant
And I saw your face
Smiling back at me
Your genuine and loving way of caring
How can you feel
When there’s nothing within
The clearest of your dreams?
You’ve been misled
So wake up, wake up my friend!
Born in times of distress
You quickly grew up
Found your love so young, so adored
Spent your days making plans
Untiring and bright
Hoping for a chance for your family
No wish fulfilled but no regrets at all
No way to escape from your last intent
How can I feel
If there’s nothing I own
To comprehend your world?
Now I feel weaker
So help me, help me my dear!
Waiting for sleep
I close my eyes and whisper to you
As I call your name I draw relief
And it seems you’re here again
I can hold your hands in mine
Listen to me, I’ll let you know
How I fear to lose my memories
How I miss you
