Talib Kweli - Life Ahead Of Me lyrics
[Intro: Talib Kweli] I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me [Verse 1: Rapsody] This path got hurdles Smoke rappers to make up for the herbal It's quite fertile after 4 months of murder I push em to the edge, now they sanity is sorta Missin', I guess I'm that gifted Why I never celebrated damn Christmas I been the rap game wishlist The morticians boomin' business These b**hes still b**hin' Sad day for you, there's no love? Here, you better ask grandma, she can pray for you You just pray to me I just react like 8 Uzis, blow holes in your plan like [?] Love to Ruby Dee in Sicily I pray I'm just as strong as on when I turn 60 Hope my health good and I ain't sickly Pray with news, no other icons Like we lost Whitney, and maybe [?] you'll get my age right Maybe one of these months, I'll sleep all night And if I don't, it's alright [Hook: Rapsody] I got my whole life ahead of me, I know this world ain't heavenly I'm just following this little recipe I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me, I know this world ain't heavenly I'm just following this lil' recipe [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] Stack chips like the treasury n***a swear they ballin' like they 7 feet Like John Lennon, just let it be (I got my whole life ahead of me) I judge a man by his enemies Rapsody my sister, 9th my brother like the Everly's Indie 5, the best emcees of recent memory I'm a connector, that's my speciality I'm a plug with the d** like the Genovese They try to k** the poor, I got the remedy That's why I fought the law damn Kennedy's They try to pull a rug right from under you Buggin' you like a centipede Even tho it tie the room together nicely like a centerpiece Try to pretend you're pa**ive but actually act aggressively Try to take away my energy, save it like Dennis Eckersley These n***as thirsty as a speech was in Tennessee [?] You girl messaged me, calling me bae like the Chesapeake But never stop testing me But their chances of besting of me is futile as looking for some honour in a den of thieves Black Star my body of work is heavenly d**h tries it's best to keep up cause life's ahead of me [Hook: Rapsody] I got my whole life ahead of me, I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me I know this world ain't heavenly, I'm just following this little recipe I got my whole life ahead of me, I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me I know this world ain't heavenly, I'm just following this lil' recipe [Verse 3: Rapsody] How slow can you be, I been k**in' annually I'm half beast machine I guess Hills or Jeans make a difference If they listen or pay attention, I'm in adventure, f** you n***as If I had a penis, your penis would be hard as a brick is Say I'm king on some rap sh** But my gender got them tender I recognize y'all lies And understand it ain't even, ain't no 5+5's Ain't no more cries like Mary Blige and them Pressure part of the process, like all them diamonds been So what Im finding is the more they keep rhyming They break promises I never like a female rapper that ain't honest, if it now If they never saw my profile, they probably picture me with a image That do resemble dissing like cymbals Make much noise And rejoice for Cristal We found the next boy But not really, though I'm still k**in' them easy, like eenie miny moe [Hook: Rapsody] I got my whole life ahead of me I know this world ain't heavenly, I'm just following this little recipe I got my whole life ahead of me, I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me I know this world ain't heavenly, I'm just following this lil' recipe I got my whole life ahead of me, I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me I know this world ain't heavenly, I'm just following this lil' recipe I got my whole life ahead of me, I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me, I got my whole life ahead of me I got my whole life ahead of me
