Luyện nghe bài hát This Can't Be Life

Geah,
Where's all my niggaz, project niggaz
Real niggaz,
Let's reflect, got a story
We all ghetto B, here's

See I was born in sewage, born to bomb music
tight like I was born Jewish
Used the streets as a conduit, I kept
38 longs inside my mom's
At any given Shawn could lose it, be on the news
Iron cuffs, arms through it or with embalmin' fluid
Shit, I'm goin' through it, mom too
Tears streamin' down her face, she got her palms to it

My is gettin' too wild
I need to bring some kinda calm to it
Bout to lose it, screamin', "Don't do it!"
It's like '93, '94, the year that Big and Mag dropped
And "Illmatic"
every rag drop, and the West had it locked
Everybody doin' 'em, I'm still scratchin' on the
Like "Damn, be a failure"

Surrounded by thugs, drugs, and drug,
courts, and their thoughts is to derail us
Three time felons in shorts with jealous
Tryin' figure where your mail is, guesstimate the weight you
So they can send shots straight to melon, wait!
It worse, baby momma water burst
Baby came out stillborn, still I move on
Though my heart still torn, life gone from her
Don't worry, if it was meant to be, be soon

This can't be life, this be love
This can't be right, there's gotta be more, this be us
This be life, this can't be love
This can't be right, there's gotta be more, this be us

dog
Second oldest born, Michelle Brown my mother
Hell bound, with two sisters and one brother
Pop wasn't around, so stories that's another
I'm thinkin' damn, how my sister gon' make me tougher
When sharpens steel, I'ma keep it real
I'm tired of tryin' to hide my behind the syrups and pills
Dead to the world, stretched out like a corpse for
Y'all niggaz thinkin' y'all readin' in The Source is real

my life like, you lookin' at the source, it's real
What your life like? Mine dog, of course real
Passin judgment, you niggaz Beans
'Cause you eat swine don't make you Amin
Dog you know a suras, out the Qur'an
I you all on your din and I ain't on mine
that Akki, 'fore I send shots though your body
Make 'em feel feel hell on earth before drop thee

I feel the line's drawn here, more can stop me
them feds pick me up, or them boys pop me
There's only three things that make Mac not act like
Tisha, Po Aldin, Samir Amin
My seeds dog, gotta teach 'em that I leave dog
Shit I know that I'ma see 'em I leave dog
I back in the afterlife
fuck it I done touched hell twice, what's the meanin'?

This can't be life, can't be love
can't be right, there's gotta be more, this can't be us
This can't be life, can't be love
This can't be right, gotta be more, this can't be us

Now as I walk into the studio, to do this with
I got a phone call one of my nigs
my homeboy Reek, he just lost one of his kids
And when I heard that I broke into tears
And see in the hand, you don't really know how this is
But it hits that close to home you feel the pain at the crib
So I called mine, and my wife with the bad news
Now we both depressed, countin' our blessings 'cause two
Prayin' for young souls to atlife through the stars
Lovin' your kids like you was ours

And I'm hurtin' for you dog; but ain't nobody pain is yours
I just know Heaven'll open these doors
And no bright side to losin life, but you can view it like this
God's got open hands homey, he in the midst of company
Who all and hates not one
And one day you be wit your son
I could've rapped about my hard times on this
But Heaven knows, I woulda been
I wouldn'ta been right, it wouldn'ta love
It wouldn'ta been life, it been us
This be life

This be life, this can't be love
This can't be right, there's be more, this can't be us
can't be life, this can't be love
This can't be right, there's gotta be more, this be us
can't be life
