Helen Folsade Adu - Life lyrics

[Chorus 1:] My body wants you (Life) My body needs you (Life) And if there was a way I could keep you forever Then I would have you (Life) [Chorus 2:] Life is what you make it No matter low the cake get Or how high the stakes get You got to take it Some be on some snake sh** Others' futures is vacant [Oh jay glit?] Those the thoughts that I wake with [Chorus 1] [Verse 1:] I wanna rock off the dome Rock written poem Rock in cars, clubs, and homes ‘Til everything I'm spitting is known ‘Til I'm written in stone Got rhymes running through my head While I'm sitting alone The Queen with glimpses of thrones My imagination takes me to other places In God's creation Sometimes I switch to jazz stations To try to help my patience Tested with stress from this crazy life I live Nevertheless, keep my attitude positive My prerogative is always to have a pot to piss in If I get sh**ted on by the biz Watching this statuesque check holder Drop to this as you rest in your Rover The Remy and Amaretto Got me high like falsetto Sexy in stilettos Trooping through the ghetto Let me head go with my feet Can't peddle ‘til my bread grow Too much in me to ever settle [Chorus 1] (2x) [Chorus 2] (2x) [Verse 2:] Now I know a true thug That got hit with five slugs From other thugs And God's angels gave him mad love True to the game on the real And I don't doubt it How many players you know Got hit five times and Lived to talk about it I even start to think you was immortal ‘Til you caught that sh** in Vegas Guess your body just couldn't take it God had to take him Doctors couldn't save him And to my other brother Murder was the case that they gave him I know innocent was your plea And since you got it Give God the credit Stay strong and don't let it Get you down ‘Cause if you need me I'll be around It's true You got angels watching over you East to west Nevermind who's the best To all my peeps In peace may you rest Somebody told me keep your head up Don't speed your d**h up Don't give your days up You got to stay up [Chorus 1] (2x) [Chorus 2] (2x) [Verse 3:] You once was the Notorious and dangerous Now you ain't no more with us It angers us Another boy k**ed Another voice stilled Will never see the sun rise Got caught up in the night's chill How do they explain to us The loss we feel Everybody packing steel These ways is ill No exemption Whether you broke Clocking grills Or whether you topping bills Or making mills Pac was enough But they had to take yours You gone The sh** hurt Ain't no reason to fake for Your wife shedding tears And your crew They ache for you But you got seeds And we got to make sure They don't inherit a world That's wicked by nature Leave it to the Lord To even up the score Streets already raw Full of player haters Fake for sure Taking yours Making the stakes get raw [Chorus 2] (2x) [Chorus 1] Just another day In the neighborhood Just another day around the way (Life) [Chorus 1]
