| All aboard this is for the hardcore
|
| Flossin', uninsured, uninspired coke jaw
|
| Many tales of that
|
| Goin' through the madness
|
| Yester year is fear, speak of days when we had this
|
| Shit, locked and sewn, before the Patron
|
| It was easier to get on with the skills and the song
|
| Now, don’t get me wrong I got my tales too
|
| But since I first started my job was not to fail you
|
| But nowadays your best rappers can’t get deals
|
| Albums don’t drop, that’s when shit is real
|
| Warning signs flash and your life does too
|
| For the rent you gotta scramble just to make due
|
| With no bookin' agent, you’ll have to go for self
|
| Tours and features, put some shit on the shelf
|
| Merch table, turntable to please your fan base
|
| To continue motivation, not comin' in last place
|
| And it’s the life it is
|
| We all got one life to live
|
| «You never succeed or progress
|
| Searchin' for peace through material objects» — I.N.I. |
| 'Fakin' Jax'
|
| «And you know what?»
|
| It’s the life it is
|
| We all got one life to live
|
| «It's one life to live» — Nas 'Classic'
|
| «In this life» — Gang Starr 'In This Life'
|
| «It's war, I want it all man, nothings enough» — Inspectah Deck 'The Raw'
|
| The younger audience is foolish when they breakin' the rules
|
| Disrespectful to the laws that we learned from school
|
| Peers and their elders, appear to be in shambles
|
| Careers they can’t handle, even with new samples
|
| It’s steady dying down and it’s gettin' dumber
|
| Many now wonder why artists been losing numbers
|
| Supply and demand is no longer the disc
|
| Cause now the ringtone exists and replace what you missed
|
| Now it’s all digitized
|
| Streamlined, even podcasts
|
| More publishin' for Internet cash
|
| Small dudes think it all about the ignorant and rude
|
| Gun talk, tough shit, tryin' to eat your food
|
| And new ways of beats disguised by Pro Tools
|
| And Fruity Loops, but the soul has no proof
|
| Of being hot my nigga
|
| So sign for readmitting time
|
| From a school of writtens and I’m givin' free admission
|
| And it’s the life it is
|
| We all got one life to live
|
| «You never succeed or progress
|
| Searchin' for peace through material objects»
|
| «And you know what?»
|
| It’s the life it is
|
| We all got one life to live
|
| «It's one life to live»
|
| «In this life»
|
| «It's war, I want it all man, nothings enough»
|
| What is the outcome?
|
| Who has the resolution?
|
| Searchin' for retribution
|
| To start a revolution
|
| Many think it’s unfair and they can’t bare
|
| To hear the bullshit they servin' on the air
|
| Never compare these times with the shit that leaked
|
| Most people agree, so we propose sequels
|
| To keep it in tact while other acts ruin it
|
| Pleasure to the ear when the writers are reviewin' it
|
| Publicity and other intricacies
|
| And most noted through the industry when shit is promoted
|
| DVDs and a host of compilation CDs
|
| Of «Best Of» for a buzz when you’re in it like me
|
| An extra edge and we all got priors
|
| Past record deals and I still got buyers
|
| This could be you if you’re showin' longevity
|
| Follow my melody and you’ll be steps ahead of me
|
| And it’s the life it is
|
| We all got one life to live
|
| «You never succeed or progress
|
| Searchin' for peace through material objects»
|
| «And you know what?»
|
| It’s the life it is
|
| We all got one life to live
|
| «It's one life to live»
|
| «In this life»
|
| «It's war, I want it all man, nothings enough» |
