Intelligent Hoodlum - Street Life (Return of the Life mix) lyrics

[Verse 1]: A baby has a baby and she's wondering how Has to take care of the newborn child Forget about the father cause he's living foul... No time for school and you dropped that lesson I guess you could say, school's out of the question Heard your mama flipped,she threw you on the street Now you and your shorty ain't got nothing to eat No one's around when the chips are down And your baby's father nowhere to be found Can't raise a kid,he's doing a bid Wellfare stopped your check, you flip your lid And everybody's saying that it's too late Depending on the state you're on section 8 He ran the game that all men ain't the same The world's on your shoulder but you gotta maintain Pick up the baby and give him the last kiss Hit the bathroom and slit your wrist Love is life and life is love Just enough strength to jump in the tub And as your blood runs down the drain Another poor soul full of sorrow and pain [Hook] (x2): Cause it's the joy and pain Sunshine and rain As the world turns,life remains the same Return of the life (x4) [Verse 2]: Black men,you want money and fame Hustle,hustle,now you in the drug game Get your money up,get it up,get the ends Dreaming one day you gonna drive that Benz Getting cash and you don't stop Til the hooker turns you on to needle pop Through the vein,up to the brain Used to get money now you caught in the game Mr Big,used to be a threat Now you don't even weight 40 pounds wet The HIV gave you AID You're history, in the cemetery Rolling strong,had it going on But now the money and the cars is gone And you're lost in the game that remains the same Another lost soul who's gonna feel the pain [Hook] (x2) [Verse 3] : I knew a kid named Peace who grew up on my block Running through life,trying to be a hardrock Started doing crime and the kid couldn't stop Whoever had a little bit of cash he was wreaking Got a big rep for his robbing and sticking Pointing a gun at everyone - he was flipping Thought he was fly and he just couldn't die 'Till one day he robbed a wrong guy Around the way,on a hot summer day A car pulled up and the bullets started to spray Went through the vest,hit him in the chest Rest in peace,cause peace is at rest I guess you could say he's caught in the game Out of control and he's gonna feel the pain [Hook] (x3)
