(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life")
|
{sample repeated in song}
|
|
Yeah
|
It's like rolling in a Bronco pumpin' them pumps
|
U know what I'm sayin'?
|
On Broadway or somethin', U know what I'm sayin'?
|
Yo yo, straight up
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
|
Hey yo, call the paddywagon, I've seen a black boy cash stackin'
|
Smirk on my face screamin', "Fuck the Grand Dragon"
|
4 the fast cash, we be thinkin' 2 slow
|
Clownin' each others on the damn talk shows
|
I don't wanna house but I gotta stick and rob
|
I got a disease, it's called "Can't find a job"
|
Smokin' on the herbs help me see a little better
|
Lookin' 4 a job in this cold ass weather
|
|
Watch out, I'm tryin' 2 get my shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
Yeah - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin')
|
It's been kinda lonely (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin')
|
|
Hey yo, as soon as I come home, I'm stressed by my mama
|
Questionin' my whereabouts like I'm the Unabomber
|
Question mark, comma, freeze all the drama
|
Intensive care flows 4 all U hos smacked with trauma
|
As I sit back with my blunt and gin
|
Grab a pen, write a song about a million black men
|
Tryin' 2 blame all this violence on gangs
|
What about those fools who kill 4 nothin' and hijack planes?
|
(Let me hear U...)
|
|
Get your shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin')
|
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin')
|
|
Yo, I'm goin' 4 the gold like a olympic sprinter
|
Fuck the bullshit, steaks 4 dinner this winter
|
Yo, I've seen a murder scene that left a fool scarred
|
Plus I saw a prisonyard way before a schoolyard
|
Time's rough plus time's runnin' out
|
My mom said if I trip one more time, I'm gettin' kicked out
|
And I ain't tryin' 2 make excuses
|
But lookin' 4 a job in the ghetto is fuckin' useless (Let me hear U sing)
|
|
Get your shit 2gether, straight up (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
Yeah, uh - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
(Let me hear U sing)
|
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
|
Ask yourself your destination
|
What the source of your inspiration be
|
And U will find a spirit tryin' 2 get back 2 the mind
|
How U was in your mama's belly
|
Live and let live was the order of the day
|
What U say?
|
Loving one another is the only way!
|
|
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
|
If U believe in one thing, if U believe in 2 things
|
(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
If U believe in anything then let me hear U sing
|
"Da, da, da, da, da, da, da"
|
Keep on believin' (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
|
Lord
|
|
(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life")
|
(Yeah y'all)
|
(Come on)
|
(Yeah y'all) {x2}
|
(It's like "Bet Your Life")
|
(Yeah y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") {x3}
|
(Yeah)
