[Verse One] [DJ Therapy]:
Thursday night, Jacks, another free show
With the A, my amigos, they're my peoples
Turnout was slim but we still rocked till sweat poured
That's what the A get the love and respect for
Left the mixer in the whip, it's okay we don't need it
Chilled after the show, 'bout an hour and got weeded
Said "peace" to the fam and stepped to the whip
Oh hell no, some chump broke in my sh**
He left trash everywhere but jacked the Vestax
That's $800 down the drain plus tax
Looked around some more then my heart jumped to panic
Dammit
My new beat CD had vanished
And it, had to be some wack hip hop kid who'd done it
Cause they took my beats but they left a bunch of other sh**
Like my sister's Luther's CD that's still in the case
A bum would have took it all like, "More merch more base!"
So it's great
I ain't leave no cash or trees
And until that seedy Jay with me, that ba*tard thief
When I catch him I can beat him something live and creative
But that's aiight, I'm a max, I feel violated
And I hate it, but I should've been more observant
Parked in better lighting, I might've just deserved it
I should've known not to put it there all night but
"So goes life"
[Hook]:
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
So goes life
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
So goes life
[DJ Therapy talking over the hook]:
Now listen. I'mma be real with y'all. I'm not even sure that I locked the back door. BUT! That's not even the point. The point of the matter is it happened...and I decided, knowhatImsayin', I ain't gonna research who did that sh**, knowhatI'msayin'? Whoever did it, knowhatImsayin', he a f**in' jerk
[Verse Two] [DJ Therapy]:
See, life is ups and downs, pros and cons
The ying the yang, positive, negative and so on
It's just how it is, yeah, I was pissed drivin' home
But I took a deep breath then I twist up this bone
Took a pull, sat back, reflected on questions on what's fair in life
Then I remembered life's blessings
I let the strife roll of me like rain down a pipe
Cause "So goes life"
You know?
Instead of actin' crazy, took the worse with the good
That's the way it be, c'est la vie, yeah you heard the hook
But did you check the verse? When sh** went foul
I didn't yell and shout out, I let life balance itself out
Let God do His job, keep the cipher goin'
Do your best to do right, but keep your mind open
Even when your days is dark as night, it's aiight
Cause "so goes life"
[Hook]:
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
So goes life
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
So goes life
[DJ Therapy talking over the hook]:
Right now, y'all are thinkin' "Yo, Therapy. He's on some Gandhi sh**." But listen, I talked to like some of the most peaceful people I know and they was like, "Yo, you should punch that dude in the face and find out who did it and f**in' fire bomb his house and..." youknowhatI'msayin'? You know. Listen man, I ain't...youknowhatImean? I ain't with that sh** man. My life... youknowhatI'msayin'...that my life is goin' awesome...some whole other sh**. You can have that. You can have that right there. I got mo' beats. I got Batsauce beats
[Sample]:
Sorry about your crew, but like we say on Earth, "C'est la vie"
