Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") {sample
repeated in song}
Yeah
It's like rolling in a Bronco pumpin' them pumps
U know what I'm sayin'?
On Broadway or somethin', U know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yo yo, straight up
Hey yo, call the paddywagon, I've seen a black boy cash
stackin'
Smirk on my face screamin', "Fuck the Grand Dragon"
4 the fast cash, we be thinkin' 2 slow
Clownin' each others on the damn talk shows
I got a disease, it's called "Can't find a job"
Smokin' on the herbs help me see a little better
Lookin' 4 a job in this cold ass weather
I don't wanna house but I gotta stick and rob
Watch out, I'm tryin' 2 get my shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Yeah - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
It's been kinda lonely (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Hey yo, as soon as I come home, I'm stressed by my mama
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
Questionin' my whereabouts like I'm the Unabomber
Question mark, comma, freeze all the drama
Intensive care flows 4 all U hos smacked with trauma
As I sit back with my blunt and gin
Grab a pen, write a song about a million black men
Tryin' 2 blame all this violence on gangs
What about those fools who kill 4 nothin' and hijack planes? (Let me
hear U...)
Get your shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
Yo, I'm goin' 4 the gold like a olympic sprinter
Yo, I've seen a murder scene that left a fool scarred
Fuck the bullshit, steaks 4 dinner this winter
Plus I saw a prisonyard way before a schoolyard
Time's rough plus time's runnin' out
My mom said if I trip one more time, I'm gettin' kicked out
And I ain't tryin' 2 make excuses
sing)
But lookin' 4 a job in the ghetto is fuckin' useless (Let me hear U
Get your shit 2gether, straight up (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Yeah, uh - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) (Let me hear U
sing)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
Ask yourself your destination
And U will find a spirit tryin' 2 get back 2 the mind
What the source of your inspiration be
How U was in your mama's belly
Live and let live was the order of the day
What U say?
Loving one another is the only way!
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
If U believe in one thing, if U believe in 2 things (Da, da, da, da, da,
da, da)
If U believe in anything then let me hear U sing "Da, da, da, da, da,
da, da"
Lord
Keep on believin' (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life")
(Come on)
(Yeah y'all)
(Yeah y'all) {x2}
(It's like "Bet Your Life")
(Yeah y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") {x3}
(Yeah)
