LIFE

Intro
You ain't gonna believe this
But you used to fit right here
That old drug to say to your mother
"This kid's gonna be the best kid in the world
This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew
Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world
And you did but somewhere along the line you changed
You stopped being you"

Verse 1: Akin Yai
A vacant smile they say the wild housin his child
It's been ten months since I'm reminiscin the how
We grow young, our souls clung we were scared to let go
Screamed love in the dark tunnel waitin for the echo
Forever, dissever means to not be together
And so he lost a friend fair fear is a weather
We'll be gone and when it's done what is to come
You comin to me and damn the man is somethin to see
Rosetta Stone to better homes I'm still learnin
A visioner of mystic clear I'm still yearnin
A riot in my hand the weak fled sobriety spin
Now the God's speed the watch we return from the dead
That's when the ancestor return holdin the horse tail (tell him)
Dancin the circle such that he might kill
He might feel like fish out of water who wants to steal (uh huh)
He once still in love as the water I once spilled ill

Hook: Tiff The Gift
And it ain't fair but nobody said that life was
And see me I'm livin proof of what life does
And as long as I'm breathin I catch a slight buzz
And I'm reachin for the sky with a high touch
(x2)

Verse 2: Awon
Yo, what's the meaning of and how this came to be?
Evolution or creation it's plain to see
So is religion real out weigh a life or lie?
And if there's life in Mars is Heaven in the sky?
I won't impose my views I'm here to pose a question
Are we movin ahead or are we in regression?
The rest ain't see no recession, the poor pushed back regression
Government sellin weapons, because we all in indebted
Defined by outsourcing they kicking people out
They seizing immigrants, stuck in the eagle's mouth
They kettle boiling over, it ain't no easy route
The cameras comin on, soon as you leave the house
They call you activist, they call you socialist
They call you liberal, because you smoke a bit
I just use my voice, my message is for balance
I use the First Amendment to protect all my talent

Hook: Tiff The Gift
And it ain't fair but nobody said that life was
And see me I'm livin proof of what life does
And as long as I'm breathin I catch a slight buzz
And I'm reachin for the sky with a high touch
(x2)

Verse 3: Dicap
I found it hard to find my way but hey you know life does
She's so far from me now but somehow I stayed in love
What was once will always be DC's not far away but the time is
Damn it hurts the silent reminders
Within the music and the architecture
City diners, art exhibits, politics and lectures
Oh yes I love it when I'm not there I'll never forget her
She's on my mind like ill styles forever hard to be bitter
False hope the True Religion trying to kid them acquitted
Upon the rounded by we turn still missing each other go figure
Lost amongst confusion communication seldom
Slim for a few between but you I still dream I held him
Inside for as long as you know, cause you know how much you meant and then this letter's for you
Sincerely, the guy you knew but never spoke of
As I did the same, the best memories bring pain

Verse 4: Tiff The Gift
I always show respect and not regret not a thing
And my name ain't Reverend Run but I am down with the king
I rock with what would Jesus do niggas and niggas that sling
So I'm real rounded enough to not judge what I see
Cuz I'm gon be and you gon be what we were destined to be
It's best to believe, when I'm in that Challenger fate
Cuz I done been in a place when I wanted to wylin out on face
But if hate would be irrational and out of my character
So be glad I drink a beer before I cause a hysteria
Be glad that I am here to define these barriers
I'ma go hard until they list my casket carry us
Nothing to scary ya, looking at my final destination
Promised sensation, up in smoke and dust and ashes
In a world that didn't like me they can kiss my ass
And it ain't fair but nobody said that life was
And see me I'm livin proof of what life does
