Coolio - Life lyrics

Intro: yo, I'm gonna talk to y'all about life for a minute (coolio) Verse 1: I'm going to a chain cause it ain't the same I remain no geak, just to play the game Trying to brake this chain off my brain so I can gangsta change (???Tank dime pain of shame and the pimp with the weekend lane???) The strain is too much too bear, I'm there but I ain't scared I pray to god, hope he care, snared in the devil's lair I hope that's not in heaven, trying to get my share, and I Hope that my hopes and dreams don't burn and flare But I'm aware A life ain't promised, trying to avoid the drama And live up the expectations for my dear old mama Inside there's also a fool, inside the court building Make a million and maybe then we can save for our children Face to face with fate trying to escape that but it's too late So I grab the world, escape, hope I don't have to wait, to get my stripes I've seen the life and all the pain and suffer and strife So I put my name in the book Chorus: life x4 (what life) that's life life life (that's life) Verse 2: ok now, here's the situation I was raised in a racist nation and given an inferior education My representation is in a f**ed up area in the inner city Where life is sh**ty, and the average self esteem is itty bitty But we ain't looking for no pity, you can miss me Go ahead and talk but if you diss me They have to come and get me They wanna pimp me from my sin Acting like they're down but they're against me Tempt me to touch, eat it up until it's empty Take my chance in a penitentiary, no touchdown for a century Get rid of me, you feeling me, that's why I'm waiting in the bushes And for those that are responsible, you're dealing with all pushing Put yourself in my position, would you all and would you listen Under these conditions would be opposed if some bodies coming up missing When the lights come home, when you run like moses and mice Or think twice if you don't hear your name called from the book Chorus: Life x4 (That's life) That's life life life (That's life) Verse 3: Can you stand the rain, this life is driving me insane But I'm a man, so I remain, steady caught up in the game Make a deal with dick and jane Trying to make a little change One from the homies, bang, and slang 'caine with they hand out And they tripping on everybody, cousin blunt so get your thing out We're ready to roll when they come through Show no fear when they hunt you If you have to use gun foo, they ask for the one-two Everything but the kitchen sink, we act quickly, don't think And don't sink to their level cause they in league with the devil Be quick from the race and try to keep a straight face And just like you, sometimes I don't feel like I belong in this place Hip hop is my profession, so I gotta keep on guessing Make it black and white lack another in my session Coming from the west, and this microphone I'm blessing So I'm testing, check it, I'm talking about life, that life Chorus x2: Life x4 (My life) That's life life life (That's life) Outro: I'm just trying to live my life, you try to live your life You want me to smack your face, give me my space It's all about style, I know you got style, life is all about me Nothing lives without life, my life, your life, coast to coast life
