LIFE IS SHORT Lyrics

I've gotta say some shit

Yeah i'm proud of the Diff

But it's not all nice

It's a city where police roam the streets

And they love to pick on young black kids at night

It was January 9th when Mohamud lost his life

But it wasn't on the streets

And it wasn't from a knife

They blame it on the drill

And they blame it on the grime

But the lies get clearer when you read between the lines

It's not fair we're just tryna have fun

I just wanna ask, are you mad, are you dumb?

You get a kick out of picking on the people of the sun?

I don't like to use the word but I think you're all

And I say it from the rooftop loud and proud

Cus I cant change the fact that my skin is brown

Got my fist in the air, this that protest sound

And a cardboard sign that says "No racists allowed"

Life's too short to be stressed over shit

You only get one so what you gonna do with it?

Life's too short to be stressed over shit

You only get one so what you gonna do with it?

Life's too short to be stressed over shit

You only get one so what you gonna do with it?

Life's too short to be stressed over shit

You only get one so what you gonna do with it?

Life's too short to be stressed over shit

I've only got one so this is what I do with it

I got a moustache now but at heart i'm the kid

That I was when I first crawled out of the crib

Shouts out to my mum and my dad

Yeah they raised a good kid with the little they had

I got A's but I couldn't sit still in class

And now I fidget on the beat and the crowd goes mad

But if I get stopped on the street with a zoot

Do they see a criminal or do they see a cool yute

Just tryna make it out the ends, buy his mum a benz

Nah I think they probably see me as a threat and not a friend

Do they see themselves when they lock us up in cells?

Cus they're the biggest gang and prisoners is what they sell

But behind all the bravado and your hat

I see a man who's just as mad at the world as I am

Life's too short to be stressed over shit

You only get one so what you gonna do with it?

Life's too short to be stressed over shit

You only get one so what you gonna do with it?

Life's too short to be stressed over shit

You only get one so what you gonna do with it?

Life's too short to be stressed over shit

You only get one so what you gonna do with it?
