L.I.F.E. (Living Is For Everyone)
Life is not a song to me, yet I sing,
I sing to get through life,
Cuz it’s hard sometimes, sometimes it’s hard to just get by….
Now a days a song is all that most have and can afford,
Afford to listen if they got ears to hear, a sound mind to comprehend and overstand,
Overstand that the man got a plan for the brutha man to give the uppahand to the other man,
Thangs ain’t gonna change unless ya rearrange ya brain,
Nah, it ain’t that I’m deep, it’s just that I ain’t sleep,
I ain’t sleep to all the beaurocratic bullshit goin on in the world today,
I am an evolutionary real catalyst here to spark a change, ya wit me?
I said, I am an evolutionary real catalyst here to spark a change,
Are ya wit me, ya digging me, are ya feelin me?
Are ya feelin me, feelin me, feelin me, diggin me, diggin me, diggin me?
Listenin, listenin, listenin,
I am and I know you are too, SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED!
Robbin Peter to pay Paul,
Your rent/ mortgage due? Mine too….Lite bill disconnect? Me too….
Phone with no dial tone? Mine been gone.
No food in the fridge, and you got kids?
Eviction notice, bounced checks, dayum, what’s next?
Good times, yeah okay…wah ever…It’s all good in this life we live….
No need I, you, me, the seed to live in fear,
Fear of the unknown or outcome, no need to run nigga run....
From this thang we call life,
Answers not found in a liquor bottle, beer bottle, cigarettes, at the club, sex, or that crack pipe,
Battling mental reservoirs of suicidal thoughts in an idle mind,
Sometimes entertaining the demonic thoughts of suicide…
Brutha, sista, dawta, son….
I know it gets hard sometimes,
Sometimes it’s hard to just get by…
As governmental politrics tries to wipe us out,
Thru cross breeding and genocide,
Know that you are above and not below,
And that you are more than this American ghetto!
(Living just enuf for da ghett0---NO!!!)
Situations and circumstances, lacking surplus of finances does not determine how successful you are,
As we continue wage battle and fight this unholy war…
Now daz my word, daz da life I live.
Whose wit me, whose digging me, whose feelin me, whose listenin,
Well get up, stand up, let’s go. (It’s been a long time) I am an evolutionist…..
