Life Sentences

(专辑： Special Effects - 2015)

[Intro Tech N9ne:]
I won't look back anymore, after this
Pitch black, star bright, yeah that's my life
A bit of fire and ice
Watch friends, plot foes, stock ends and pot holes
Cause when the tank hit the bank, it just got closed
Don't be stank in the paint cause the yak froze

[Verse 1 Tech N9ne:]
Wish I knew back when I was struggling
If I plugged in and kept busting
I'd be buzzing, that'd make me super rich
Never knew my suffering over but
Cousin, I keep it up and gushing
And tell all of my family, aunts and uncles, cousins to do the shit
Just gain power through all of the rain showers
No different, remain sour cause someone else's lame hours
Wish I woulda known to tell 'em all to start they own business
Make long digits instead of having a boss who talk at the wrong pitches
To fake friends, cause it's never enough
At hostile situations with folks, I learned it's better to bust
First, and you still a nigga no matter how much ya stuff's worth
You love who love you, do hug who does true
Connect the true blood to 'cause blue
So keep hoping the Lord does show up
Cause it'll never be no peace on earth for all of us
Till this mug blow up

[Hook Krizz Kaliko:]
Locked up, I'm free still doing time
I'm stuck, on notes of some of mine
Incarcerated, Sometimes I hate it
This is the sentence of my life

[Verse 2 Joey Cool:]
Pondering these thoughts while sitting idle in this mezzanine
Feel my feelin's boiling up, I'm simmering on everything
Going for the gold because it's shimmering, but everything
That you encounter seems to be devoured, need a better team
Every thought and every dream, every plot and every scheme
Lurking around the corner is a hater waiting like a fiend
And choice of drug is negative, and they use it like a sedative
Success becomes the cause of this effect, abuse the medicine
You thinking you can let 'em in, partake in building excellence
The serpents come in twos and they meticulous with they meddling
The feathers flock together, see the relationships we settle in
Got consequences so it's best to let 'em go, we blessed again
Disloyalty unfoiled, trynna justify they pestilence
I don't understand why they so demanding, manic pessimists
I guess if I had to guess, I'd make an estimate, I guess that they
Was just afraid so watch us levitate 'til I'm at heaven's gate

[Hook]

[Verse 3 Gee Watts:]
Mmm, Life sentence for falling out ya physical body
Illuminate my soul, officially became godly
I be the one, all of these demons running from
Dumped a gun, lifted spirits, niggas deem me the chosen one
Phony family in my crowd, rapping gap and loud
Facing twelve in the pin, none of them niggas made a sound
None of them niggas round
Now the fame close and the name boasts
I'm 'posed to break bread? Bitch, taste toast
I should smoke them ungrateful bitches
They doing the most to see what make you choke
It actually leave ya throat missing
I'm on a mission to revisit kin and
My prime been hidden, trynna dine with women
Dipped and find this linen, try and find a business
I love who love Gee, fuck you if it's fuck me
That's just how it gotta be, cause I'm paper routing
Tame nuisance, insane view and check on my lawn
Strange recruit me, guess when the God speaking strange music

[Hook]

Instead of cry, maybe I'll keep it inside [x4]
