Brother Ali - Life Sentence lyrics
Your rating:
Oh yeah The flow here is so rare Won't hear me so bare and focused nowhere No hood or burrow post golden years My most sincere quotes -- I unload 'em here Your local hero don't compare An' oh yeah don't you dare hold a mirror to me that's no fair You ain't gotta do your poker stare over here Honestly don't care what cards you holdin', dear Most my heroes don't even compete with me I'm on my own kinda sucker- free frequency I got a IQ I refuse to speak beneath And to lie to you would only cheapen me Seem to me most these dudes are carpoolin' One a y'all do something new and then y'all do it Havin' déjà vu -- They enjoy something jay-z do And then need a sample that ll say it too I guess we wasn't tauight the same rules I was brought up "bitin' is a sin, you gotta pay your dues" That's for underground and mainstream too The blame's on you bitches, shame on you... Streams roll into the ocean Rivers roll into the sea If I can't sing my life One of y'all might gotta come and bury me I should only have to tell y'all once When we come back just to prove it to ya Never had to do much (and) it's confused On my particular brand the truth is undisputed It's a fact-stupid people dig stupid-ass music And that label shoots seven out of ten humans I'm cast in "underground movement" I do exactly what I wanna do And I'm building one room at a time, damn the blueprint And I'm doin' just fine in my own mind Trynna be one of the greatest of all time If you ain't doin' that then you're wasting your time I shake the floorboards to the foundation wide You know nothing about what it takes to shine Do an about-face and and holler out "Peace, goodbye..." I'm a star in the evening sky Got the sun in my hand and the fire in my eyes (oh, lawd) Streams roll into the ocean Rivers roll into the sea If I cant sing my life One of y'all might gotta come and bury me
