Sometimes Lyrics

Sometimes you gotta live a double life

Pay bills during the day, you dream at night

And that dreams what you tryna live right?

Every night, eyes open can't sleep tight

Copin', hopin', one day it'll pay off

Life's a job, sometimes you wish

That you were laid off of

No days off, can't get the weight off

But you can rule the world and that's the pay off

Or maybe you can't, just look at Adolf

Sometimes I wish I could at least turn the hate off

And live in harmony

But that don't seem possible in NYC

Sometimes a noose don't seem like a weapon

If I hold on tight, maybe it take me to heaven

I could stop stressin', God count my blessings

If I had a Smith & Wesson, I'd end it all in a second

That's word, sometimes you gotta act quick

Anything can happen every time that clock tick

I live for the stage, yeah you know I rock sick

And it's probably the only reason I ain't slit my neck yet

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that sometimes

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that sometimes

Sometimes you just can't make rent

Not looking forward to the next bank statement

Everything they gotta say is deep in the negative

I wanna live rich, that's my prerogative

Sometimes it's hard to stay positive

Even the closest ones to you don't believe that you got a gift

So you keep your presence closeted

'Til everybody that you meet already got your dick on their lips

Ain't that the truth though?

You know you special but everybody want proof yo

Sometimes you can't tell your friends from your foes

So you keep a smile on, don't tell nobody 'bout your woes

Can't heal so you runnin' on your toes

Can't feel cause the world is so cold

Sometimes everything around you so old

The last thing you wanna do is whatever you're told

So you start something new

You throw yourself out to the wolves

And sometimes they just can't chew

Cuz your skin so thick not even sweat goes through

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that sometimes

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that, be like that, it be like

It be like that sometimes
