Who Said Life Was E-Z
Yes Sir
[8ball]
Another day wakin up thankin god for breath
Through the night I didn't turn my soul over to death
Gotta open my mind, be as free as a bird
Make the paper and the ink create beautiful words
It be hard to do right in this land of wrong
And this land of wrong affects all my songs
I try to take pure in no good vibes
Make you feel what I say with your ears and eyes
A picture that can speak, a sound you can touch
If you're looking for the bomb baby 8 is enough
No artifical issues bein' speak in the punch
Hit you will a small dose and get you geekin for some
Dumb young brotha can't handle the hand life dealt
Now he's takin life from someone else
Soul's battled by the sound of n***as killin they own
They don't even know that they wrong
Man who said life was EZ
[Hook]
You know that if life was EZ
Steps we take are easier, set and done
Who said life was EZ
Move slow, you might get twisted
Life has no guarantees, it will never be easy
[8ball]
Sometimes I feel like...
I'm trapped in a concrete maze like a rodent
Alley rats, cheddar chasin, living for the moment
Suicidal, homicides, all for cheese
Mama on her knees tellin jesus she can't believe
How steel at high speed took her seed
Greed made em take some shit they don't even need
Someone's life pure and simple
No material wealth
Flashin money in the streets is like killin yourself
Them hardcore heat packin n***as get snuffed
Thinkin ain't nobody tough enough to take they stuff
Homie I got a gun and you got a gun
If one of us dies who be the innocent one?
Cold, under dirt, our soul laid to rest
Or locked in the prison with a number on ya chest
Which would be best?
Death could be quicker
No prejudice white folks, no playa hatin n***as
If I was the one that could change the earth
I would make people live from death to birth
Seeing all that they did from wrong to right
Ain't nothin easy about tryin to live yo life
[Hook]
[8ball]
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to live your life for you
I'm not preachin or tryin to tell a n***a what to do
Just smoked out, and I felt like speaking my mind
Trying to save the whole world two ears at a time
The mentally blind can't see we hurtin each other
Murderin brothas, destroyin our mothers
Sellin drugs cause my kids need pampers and food
Stick em up, lay it down, playa give me your shoes
If I gotta do what I gotta do to pay my dues
I'll dive in head first, it's all win or lose
It's what you chose, life is like a roller coaster
Up and down at high speeds until the ride is over
