8ball - Who Said Life Was EZ lyrics

Yes Sir [8ball] Another day wakin up thankin god for breath Through the night I didn't turn my soul over to d**h Gotta open my mind, be as free as a bird Make the paper and the ink create beautiful words It be hard to do right in this land of wrong And this land of wrong affects all my songs I try to take pure in no good vibes Make you feel what I say with your ears and eyes A picture that can speak, a sound you can touch If you're looking for the bomb baby 8 is enough No artifical issues bein' speak in the punch Hit you will a small dose and get you geekin for some Dumb young brotha can't handle the hand life dealt Now he's takin life from someone else Soul's battled by the sound of n***as k**in they own They don't even know that they wrong Man who said life was EZ [Hook] You know that if life was EZ Steps we take are easier, set and done Who said life was EZ Move slow, you might get twisted Life has no guarantees, it will never be easy [8ball] Sometimes I feel like... I'm trapped in a concrete maze like a rodent Alley rats, cheddar chasin, living for the moment Suicidal, homicides, all for cheese Mama on her knees tellin jesus she can't believe How steel at high speed took her seed Greed made em take some sh** they don't even need Someone's life pure and simple No material wealth Flashin money in the streets is like k**in yourself Them hardcore heat packin n***as get snuffed Thinkin ain't nobody tough enough to take they stuff Homie I got a gun and you got a gun If one of us dies who be the innocent one? Cold, under dirt, our soul laid to rest Or locked in the prison with a number on ya chest Which would be best? d**h could be quicker No prejudice white folks, no playa hatin n***as If I was the one that could change the earth I would make people live from d**h to birth Seeing all that they did from wrong to right Ain't nothin easy about tryin to live yo life [Hook] [8ball] Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to live your life for you I'm not preachin or tryin to tell a n***a what to do Just smoked out, and I felt like speaking my mind Trying to save the whole world two ears at a time The mentally blind can't see we hurtin each other Murderin brothas, destroyin our mothers Sellin d** cause my kids need pampers and food Stick em up, lay it down, playa give me your shoes If I gotta do what I gotta do to pay my dues I'll dive in head first, it's all win or lose It's what you chose, life is like a roller coaster Up and down at high speeds until the ride is over
