The Neptunes - Life Change lyrics
[Hook: Kenna & Pharrell] (with ad-libs) Last night what I seen made my life change Made my life change Made my life change Made my life change Made my life change Made my life change Ye-yet yet yet I move on, (You know I gotta go and get it) Yeh-yes I move on (There ain't no other choice in it) Yeh-yes I move on (Ain't tryin' to be a part of the percentage) Yeh-yes I move on (Hear me out now) [Verse 1: Pusha T] Where I'm from see us guys don't believe in luck (No!) I can't believe what they doin' to my n***a, Buck (Tryin' to hang my n***a!) Facin' time, twenty-five to life Twenty-five the same thing as life (You tell me!) Only chips is to fight or to forfeit Baby momma tryin' to make the mortgage Daughters prayin', try'na put cha back up in the portrait Uh, it's like the tears never stop When you was home it's like they smiles never drop Collect calls with all the hopes of the best And hang up with a knot in my chest See, see your cell is my hell My hell is our pain The hurt gonn' never stop until we see you home again And that's all we wanna see Maybe in a dream, but not a memory Forget that, hold your head man, head man Last night what I seen made my life change [Hook] [Verse 2: Malice] I was wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked (Filthy!) So much so I had left my family forsaken (I'm sorry, babe!) A troubled soul whose heart was often achin' (Can you forgive me?) So much dough but my spirit ever so vacant Foul and flagrant, I was taken off course (I was lost!) The road ahead should have ended me in divorce (I see now) But now I see clearly with the family of four Never did I deserve a two-seater Porsche (Never!) Heart filled with remorse, my life was such a mess Now I'm back on board, due to the Lord's GPS (I'm back!) 180 degree turn, whoever could've guessed? Malice believe in his heart and out my mouth I confess YES... more than blessed, I was choosen I been on the troop, my wisdom is that of old men Wasted so much time stuntin' for folk (Wasted so much time!) When really the whole time I was just stuntin' my growth (Can't get that back!) A message to the youth, what I'm offerin' is hope Now something's gotta change. I'm at the end of my rope, cause [Hook] [Verse 3: Pusha T] Uh, Lord knows I done seen the worlds cold shoulder Seein my future through the crystal-ball of bakin' soda Oasis of hoes, my champagne supernova The high life and high times, I watched 'em turn sober Seen it all come crashin', crashin' The Feds was at the door, and no they not askin' Sayin' they found d**, but they ain't talkin' aspirin Diesel design ones and I ain't talkin' fashion [Verse 4: Malice] Money hoes and clothes is Malice's past tense (The past is past!) All said forgiven, all you do is askin' Even when laughin' I can't explain the hurt Knowin' I can't change the world in a verse (I wish I could!) Even to myself, I'm feelin' my screw's loose But how can I deny what I know to be true? (I gotta live with myself!) When I didn't have a clue, shoulda viewed it as a gift Now I see what they mean - ignorance is bliss (I see what they mean) [Hook]
