The Way Life Go By Lyrics

The way life go by

The way life go by

The way life go by; A quick flash in the blink of an eye

Just a man but my dreams still bigger than I

Got my own crib and still sleep on the couch

I got problems, go figure, gotta figure it out

My rent due, I can't have em kickin' me out

I been through way too much to go through that now

That's life, but still that's how I feel

Would be lying if I said I haven't built up an idea

'Cause I did; pondering on a better way to live, I insist

Wondering every day exactly what my purpose is

Or if I can find a woman I trust to have kids

Then if I popped the question on shordy, would she commit

Runnin' circles around my mental

When most times it feels like it should be simple

Never sober, wonder if it's coincidental

One keep the other; it's like the Yin Yang symbol

I go through trouble every day like a delinquent

Fuck am I thinkin', chasin' them Benjamin Franklins

I'll never change; stuck in my ways like a racist

I been this way since my momma used to give spankings

The same old me, never worried bout a thang

My dream's a long shot, but I'm Curry with the range

These mofuckas hurry in a flurry for the fame

Got me worried bout the future generations that they raise

My kids gotta go to school with yo kids and play

So make sure you raise em with some common sense

I guarantee my kids can tell you what a woman is

And any kid that can't, parents must be dumb as fuck

Lookin' at America, where is this shit coming from

Now it got me paranoid, don't be like Louis Farrakhan

Mind yo business, carry on, have some common sense

Y'all don't be so ignorant, just try to play it cool instead

Don't let that shit get to yo head, politicians full of shit

No matter what the pigment is

Don't let em get you turnt up over differences

Riots what they want cause now your home is where the prison is

Good luck getting visitors

They busy handin' sentences out like English teachers

Meanwhile you tryna put it together, I'll bring the pieces

I feel like when it come to our life, we turn facetious

No wonder why we laughin' tho; we always burnin' reefer, that's how it goes

My homie still rockin' a chain just to not feel broke

I tell him looks don't change facts, he prolly think I'm hatin', though I'd like to change that

If I was hatin', I'd let him keep walking down the same path

Instead I don't, I tell him shit he should already know

But I ain't mad at him, I know how easy it is to fall into bad habits

Just don't let it happen twice

'Cause all I can give you is my advice
