Come on, come on
Huh huh, yeah
Feel 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 summers block
Where you sip your brew and never touch your Glock
This is for eyes
That cry like yours
And learn to smile again
And rise above the pain
This is for you and your crew
The ones thats true
Who'll always love you
No matter what you do
Chorus 1:
'Cause its the life, the life, the life (the life, the life)
its the life, the life, the life, (life)
its the life, the life, the life (your life, your life)
its the life, your life, my life, (life)
This is for soldiers who bust they guns
In the name of freedom not the game of fun
True queens who raise they kids
Implement the knowledge, show 'em how to live
This is for those who stand in line to feed their babies
While we're running out of time
This is for the unjusticed, behind bars
Our lovers, our leaders, our people, yeah...
Chorus 2:
'Cause its the life, the life, the life (the life, the life)
its the life, the life, the life, (life)
its the life, the life, the life (my life, my life)
its the life, your life, my life, (our lives)
Don't let 'em mis-misguide you
They'll have you actin' like the sun dont shine
And the sky ain't never blue
But you know and i know its all about survival
The struggle of our people is like death unrivaled
For politicians they was never in control
Cuz deep within that untrue battle for the soul
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
And its set up that way by an infinite power
Those who know, that feel the chains
In the belly of the beast and mental strain
This is for those who have their own fallen angels
Trynna to find their way home
This is for everybody (everybody), and anybody so (anybody) slight
Chorus 1
Da dum dum da dum
Da dum dum da dum
Da dum dum da dum ....
yo, you gotta keep smilin
No matter what
Cause this is the life
And whatcha gon do bout that? Eh?
