I'm a sister with a grip on her life
|
I only live once so I gotta get right
|
The first time cuz there won't be a second
|
I'm not in the mood to preach about the wrong of the world
|
It can't be changed by three girls
|
On the trio tip, we're not a proof of that trip
|
Excuses, that's the truth when the proof compellin'
|
I ain't tellin' or sellin' out to the pop life
|
I like the spotlight
|
Gimme a mic and a beat so I can speak words of wisdom
|
I may be young, feed some, fall down, and filled up, I'm gonna build up
|
Knowledge is food for thought so let's eat up
|
Whatever goes up, comes down, you see nothin' lasts forever
|
Not even MCs, you, he, she, and even I should live and let live
|
Or live and let die
|
|
Live and let die
|
|
You're wastin' time tryin' to change the mind
|
Of those who's souls are full of holes
|
I do unto others as I wish them to do unto me
|
Life ain't nothin' but death without money
|
My way of thinkin' is one-track
|
My method of convincin' combat
|
Success is a mission, it's there for anyone who wants to do better
|
You know where I'm comin' from
|
Survival of the fittest, and I'll admit it's vicious
|
I testify as a witness
|
Let me say this first for what it's worth
|
It's true that the meek shall inherit the earth
|
But that don't mean you gotta be weak or soft
|
Even on the mic you can't take no shorts
|
I only help those who want to help themselves if no one else
|
As a youngster they taught me to live and let live
|
And that's what I always did, word to miz
|
But there's a change in the world that I live in
|
So don't be surprised if I live and let die
|
|
Live and let die
|
Live and let die
|
|
That's the eighth time that baser almost O.D.'d, man
|
Live and let die
|
Yo, Finster, baby, went up for homicide
|
Live and let die
|
He's out there skeezin' with no jimmy hat
|
Live and let die
|
K-bone was shortin' the fuzz and got dumped
|
Live and let die
|
