Luyện nghe bài hát This Can't Be Life

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

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

My life is too wild
I need to bring some sort kinda to it
Bout to it, voices screamin', "Don't do it!"
It's like '93, '94, 'bout the year that Big and Mag
And "Illmatic"
Outta rag drop, and the West had it locked
Everybody doin' 'em, I'm scratchin' on the block
"Damn, I'ma be a failure"

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

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

dog
Second oldest born, from Michelle Brown my
Hell bound, grew with two and one brother
Pop around, so many stories that's another
I'm thinkin' damn, how my older sister gon' me tougher
When steel sharpens steel, keep it real
I'm of tryin' to hide my pain behind the syrups and pills
Dead to the world, stretched out like a corpse for
Y'all niggaz thinkin' what y'all readin' in The Source is

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

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

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

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

And I'm hurtin' for you dog; but ain't pain is like yours
I just know that Heaven'll these doors
And ain't no bright side to losin life, but you can it like this
got open hands homey, he in the midst of good company
Who all and hates not one
And one day you be wit your son
I could've rapped about my hard times on song
But Heaven knows, I woulda wrong
I wouldn'ta been right, it wouldn'ta love
It wouldn'ta been life, it been us
This be life

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