Lyrics
Come on, come on
Yeah, feels good, don't it?
This is for warm days that drift away
While the sun sets, and the ghettos play
Long nights on a hot summer's block
Where you sip your brew, and never touch your Glock
This is for eyes
That cry like yours
And learn to smile again
Rise above the pain
This is for you and your crew
The ones that's true
Who'll always love you
No matter what you do
'Cause it's the life, the life, the life (The life, the life)
It's the life, the life, the life (Life)
It's the life, the life, the life (Your life, your life)
It's the life, your life, my life (Life)
This is for the soldiers who bust they guns
In the name of freedom, not the game of funds
True queens who raise they kids
Implement the knowledge, show 'em how to live (Show 'em)
This is for those
Who stand in line to feed their babies
While we're running out of time
This is for the unjustice behind bars
Our lovers, our leaders, our people, yeah
'Cause it's the life, the life, the life (The life, the life)
It's the life, the life, the life (This is the life, this is the life)
It's the life, the life, the life (My life, my life)
It's your life, my life, our lives (Life)
Don't let 'em mis-misguide you
They'll have you actin' like the sun don't shine
And the sky ain't never blue
But you know and I know it's all about survival
The struggle of our people is like that unrivaled
Fuck politicians, they was never in control (Never)
It's deeper than that, a true battle for the soul (Watch out)
What they want is to bring us to our knees
So, my people, guard your life by any means
This is for those who know we all gon' die
It was set up that way by infinite power
Those who know the feel of chains
In the belly of the beast, and the mental strain (Mental strain)
This is for those
Who have their own fallen angels
Tryin' to find their way home
This is for everybody (Everybody) and anybody (Anybody)
It's your life
'Cause it's the life, the life, the life (The life, the life)
It's the life, the life, the life (Life)
It's the life, the life, the life (Our lives, our lives)
It's your life, my life, our lives, the life
Yo, you gotta keep smilin', no matter what
'Cause it's just the life
Whatchu gonna do about that? Huh?
Yo, A+, Hieroglyphics
DU Goddess
A little something for the soul
