That’s Life

Intro (x4)
That's life, that’s life, that's life, that's life, that’s life

Verse One
My Pops told me that I was alone in this world
When there's trouble it's bound to be a solitary struggle
When you're rich you won't see notin' but extended arms
When you broke you can't do nothing but extend your charm
But it doesn't take much to improve your situation
When you got no money but you exercise patience
The fact is everywhere you turn there’s many taxes
That’s why we gotta' put in any practise
To catch this good life we all seeking
I learned how not to listen when a fool’s speaking, I won't profit
So I only listen to a wise mans words
And it takes a lot to really quench a wise mans thirst
For life, that's why I never settle for what is
Or settle for what was, how can we really live?
If we work hard, see an opportunity and take it
Six bils' the population but we all can’t make it but that's life

Chorus
When you find someone and then you fall in love
And then they break your heart (that's life)
When you're underpaid and you're late for work
And plus your car won't start (that's life)
When your baby's born and the birth was smooth
And it's healthy (that's life)
When you went from broke and then you made a move
And now you're wealthy (that's)

Verse Two
I made crazy money when I was just in my teens
Signed a contract for writing rhymes and making beats
Put in five years work and then another five
Waiting patiently for everything I dreamed for to arrive
And as I got older I became more aware
That a little comes here and a little comes there
And some things are not for me I learned to accept it
Failure tried to be my friend, I learned to reject him
But even though I did good and raised up my business
I got stopped by the police who said I looked suspicious
Got pulled to the side had to empty out my pockets
They asked of ID so I reached into my wallet
Then showed them my visa with my name and my business
They attitude changed and they took mad interest
They realized I had no time for crime in my life
But an all black Hoodie was a stereotype but that's life

Chorus
When you've planned for a whole year to take a trip
And now it's here you're sick (that's life)
When you bought new clothes in the store last week
And they just don't fit (that's life)
When you call a friend and apologize
Now you tight again (that's life)
When you lost all faith but you pray to God
And now there's light again (that's)

Refrain (x2)
That's life, that's life, that's life, that's life, that's life

Verse Three
One of my real good friends put his girl in a coma
I think it was the ignorance and drugs taking over
Another good friend turned his back on me quickly
After such a long time and for less than a fifty
I have another friend and to him I stay close
He works real hard I respect him the most
Has my back when I need it, I got his when he need mine
He going fast forward while the others just rewind
See I understand the true value of a man
Doing what you cannot instead of doing what you can
Diligence, integrity, tolerance and sacrifice
Speak the hard truth no pretence and always acting nice
There's a few that I can trust with my life
Who won't serve they own cause but will do what is right
And God created every man to be this way
But many got contaminated, principles changed but that's life

Chorus
When you go to the bank just to get some cash
And it swallows your card (that's life)
Plus the bank is closed and your cash is low
Now you thinking hard (that's life)
When you passed a test and your grade was A
And you glistening (that's life)
When you start to speak everybody stops
And they listening (that's life, yeah)
(that's life x5)
