Various Artists - What’s Life by Cordae & Common lyrics

[Intro: Cordae] Uh, I said I think I do better Uh, I swear, I think I do better Uh [Verse 1: Cordae] What is life without love? What's life without dreams? What's life without goals? Everything ain't what it seems What's life without friends who remain genuine? Don't care about the money or what type of crib you in Who can withstand the test of time? That's just a guess of mine Here in real life, homie, this is not a set design Not on TV screens or the magazine covers Sitting and observin' as the travesty flutters Why we gotta beef? sh*t, I'd rather be brothеrs Trips to Tokyo with some Japanese lovеrs Lost boy in this world full of hatred and greed See a young ni**a make it what they hating to see Never complacent, I be on the chase for the cream Cash rules everything but you facing a king Let's step up to this parliament, every fu*king bar legit I know you in denial like an alcoholic father is Hold up let me pause a bit, nobody is as raw as this Word to Jesus Christ, I hope nobody ever cross the kid Damn, yes men of the main Judas But I will remain as true as my problems I aim through it This that thought-provoking that leave you lost and hopin' Voices in my head be lying so my heart has spoken Rap ni**as far from potent, they just out here sayin' random sh*t Had to drop a classic 'cause I heard they was demandin' it Anxiety is damagin', but what's the pressure? Make that sh*t that's from the soul but with a touch of effort Nothing lesser, real love, it ain't nothing better I swear I need that real love, it ain't nothing better See, what's life without purpose? What's life without verses? Lost boy in this sh*t, what's life without churches? What's life without belief? What's life without goals? What's life without me? What's me without soul? My God [Verse 2: Common] When they reminisce, will my life be told in sentences? Then run on until God finish us Face-to-face with the maker, I show my blemishes God by nature, I know what my image is My revelation is the new genesis On some Master P sh*t, I don't know what limits is What's life without love? What's life without haters? We all gotta eat so to them I don't cater I might humble you and sit you down like a waiter Show you what beef is, then tell you what the stakes are High like a dove, I come from up above Inspired by two dope boys and one love This is a letter to the better together with metaphysics They say life is written and mine got better lyrics What's life without pitfalls and getting lit, y'all? They say, "Life's a b*tch," I don't wanna know them in-laws
