The greatest thing in this world is life
 And life is full of pain struggle and strife
 Decisions and moves you make gotta be precise
 Step careful son watch how you roll your dice

 The greatest thing in this world is life
 And life is full of pain struggle and strife
 Decisions and moves you make gotta be precise
 Thinkin that you the man and you might see ice
 and that ain't nice

 (it's like that and uh
 it's like that and uh)

 Verse One: Pharoahe Monch

 Never exceeding my recommended dosage
 When it comes to licking, selecting, chicken
 It's never what it seems when you're picking
 Cause you can't tell from the eyes
 Especially now they seperate the legs from the wings and thighs
 ain't no surprise in it
 You get it, with, cellophane wrapped tight over the meat
 they be like disguising it
 I'm sort of sticking to my old ways (true)
 Keeping my order score the chicken dark nowadays
 Even believing in retrieving in my own chicks
 It's, no need to be rude (shit)
 I let the butcher chop it up and key food
 And hit her with the keys if she's On Bended Knee like Boyz II Men
 I tell her I don't want to catch some vanilla poisoning
 I'm poised and when... it's the opportune time
 before I stuff my face
 Kneel my head over my plate, then I say my grace
 Pray up above
 Slip on my rubber glove and dine
 Polish off the meal and enjoy some wine
 Relax recline
 Yeah

 Chorus

 Verse Two: Prince Poetry

 Aiyyo most def, you know I love, gettin it on
 (but not without the stretch)
 Don't need to be making that three letter catch (cool)
 Careful who I choose to make ooohs
 Better believe me love (we living in the paradise of fools)

 Yo Pharoahe (right?) Remember I met Yvette in Dallas, Tex
 (That cool queen long blonde chick with mad connects? No quest)
 Oh yes, she hooked hooked us to the game cuz strange shit
 was going down in town
 There was a pretty dear packin pound cakes
 a cocoa butter babe with papes jewels a black Ac
 and mad niggaz was liking that
 Players tricking on that chicken and slippin
 and never to go far; cause Shante had the scar
 Now everybody knew why motherfuckers started droppin
 But nobody knew Shante's ex-husband, was needle poppin
 And on the other side of town, medical records was lost
 Blood samples was crossed and doctor's mix-ups was found
 Yvette said, "The six o'clock news covered the scam"
 Three families blew the fuze
 It was a psycho doctor at hand and insanity rules
 Only two to lay five on that man, and he's singin the blues
 He sings the blues, he sings the blues

 We're living in the world of frus... tration plus
 the lies lust gluttony and mistrust
 Situations we discuss about world domination reflect...
 ...guns money greed and sex it all connects like a puzzle
 In the game of life, in the game, in the game of life
 In the game, in the game of life

 The greatest thing in this world is life
 And life is full of pain struggle and strife
 Decisions

 The greatest thing in this world is life
 And life is full of pain struggle and strife
 Decisions
