[Sample (Melody): Al Green - “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” (0:06)]
[Verse 1: A-Butta]
Yo, my thoughts
Circulate the Earth three-sixty degrees, the world
Is money-hungry, people trying to stick me for cheese, niggas
Don’t hesitate (now), they squeeze triggers with ease and make
Me meditate (how) they do these sinister deeds, criminals
Need a gun, slithering swine killing my people for fun
Shit, we’re living in the wickedest times. I feel
The heat from the Sun, grit my teeth ‘til I bleed through my gums
And taste the blood drops. I hate corrupt cops
Who load clips and bust shots in the ghetto and whatnot, so quit
Acting like you don’t know shit—this must stop. Shorty
Rocks end up cuffed up or bucked up. Son, this
World’s fucked up—tough luck, your luck’s up—plus stuck
Thinking the worst (I don’t care). If there’s
A Heaven on this Earth, I know that (I ain’t there). Word
(Life ain’t fair), but I ain’t stressing it ‘cause we could all
Live in peace or somebody else is gonna rest in it
[Hook 1: Natural Elements]
Life ain’t fair. We’re only here for a minute
So I want the world and everything in it. If you’ve
Seen it before, most likely I did it
Fat lyrics and skills, Natural E’s coming with it (Kick it, Bridge)
[Hook 2: The Bridge]
I don’t know and I don’t care
All I know is that life ain’t fair
I don’t know and I don’t care
All I know is that life ain’t fair
[Verse 2: L-Swift]
Yo, this life is like
A double-headed coin—flip it, see the same shit. I puff an L
And stub it (Then what?), later get lifted off the same clip
It’s mad stress living up in New York City—that’s why
When I walk to Northeast, my crew stalk with me
‘Cause a few sets of eyes is better than one. Either
You’re getting some or settle for none, so watch me shine like
Jewels in the sun. And you the type to bust a .38
Special and run. I be excelling for fun, I be
Strictly struggling, straight-up, I be just hustling
So I bust ‘em in the face, cover my grill when I drug ‘em, and
This life ain’t fair to the upmost—fuck hopes
I just pray niggas miss when they bust toast and keep the Dutch
Close to escape reality for a while. “By any
Means” been my mentality for a while ‘cause, yo
[Hook 1: Natural Elements]
Life ain’t fair, you’re only here for a minute
So I want the world and everything in it. If you’ve
Seen it before, most likely I did it
Fat lyrics and skills, Natural E’s coming with it (Kick it, Bridge)
[Hook 2: The Bridge]
I don’t know and I don’t care
All I know is that life ain’t fair
I don’t know and I don’t care
All I know is that life ain’t fair
[Verse 3: Mr. Voodoo]
September
24th, 12:03, my rib gave birth
To a seven-pound, six-ounce seed of the Earth. Thinking
How hard it was for him to be born—he with no
Physical form, we created. I kick the ancient, predated
Hip hop that leave the deviating criminal mind
Inebriated ‘til I’m abbreviated. When I
Was young, when I couldn’t use guns, I chose the fists
To expose the bitch in you like ‘caine and pain—my foes will twist. I used
To hold the clips below the click, bust nines, and felt
My first behind on the 7th grade lunch line, just wanted
To be just like the big wheels that slang krill. The drug trade
Made things ill, left niggas scraped with stained grills, but now I
Got mouths to feed, so now I’m thinking at five
I’ll put on a wig or buy formula for my seed
At a quarter of a century, I hear myself mentally
I’ll take the world and everything in it eventually ‘cause
[Hook 1: Natural Elements]
Life ain’t fair, you’re only here for a minute
So I want the world and everything in it. If you’ve
Seen it before, most likely I did it
Fat lyrics and skills, Natural E’s coming with it
Life ain’t fair, you’re only here for a minute
So I want the world and everything in it. If you’ve
Seen it before, most likely I did it
Fat lyrics and skills, Natural E’s coming with it (Kick it, Bridge)
[Hook 2: The Bridge] (x3)
I don’t know and I don’t care
All I know is that life ain’t fair
I don’t know and I don’t care
All I know is that life ain’t fair
