Dilated Peoples I Can't Live My Life This Way Lyrics

Turn it up!
Little louder!

I can't live my
I can't live my
life this way, continually get high

Instead of running round, lock one bird down
It's a new day, you gotta do it big just to get by

Show no respect, can't live that way
You hold my check, can't live that way
W/o my chick on deck, can't live that way

They say what they like but I been that way

My moves calculated through the lens
Almost here, success will be the best revenge

Man, Klint East to Kanye West
Some can't chill, but every day is set.

My favorite girl wanna leave me just because I got a girlfriend
My freak girl tell me now she a Christian
My white girl wanna move back to Michigan
I'm pulling girls off the bench like a sixth man.

I'm in the club doing the same old 2 step
While Omega's doing the same ol' "Q step"
I have my money on my mind I was thinkin green
She a pledge A.K.A. "she was pink and green"
I wanna a good girl she want a gentleman
We sayin' the same thing like a synonym
I wasn't really spittin game I was scrimmagin'
My pimpinship's so hard it needs censorship
I'ma chicagoan till Chicago ends
Till we blow like Chicago wind
I don't know what's better, gettin laid or gettin paid
I just know when I'm gettin one, the other's gettin away
This way

Go 'head, flip a coin so the game can start
Believe I know the drama keep name apart
I learnt before the hot flame came the spark
It's like 'fore the pop fame came the park
But this industry'll play with yo' life man
They playin with yo' rent, food, water and lights man (yeah)
That's why Rakaa brings that old tidy T jam
The veteran, then I'm off to Amsterdam
To rest up for strenght to deal with this weight
To deal with these deals to deal with this hate
I dedicate this Jam Master Jay
Run-DMC showed me how to walk, this way
