Music For Life

Kept me busy gave ma a chance to stop sellin' drugs,

Spinnin' time in the basement kept me from actin' up,

Zonin' out; wishing Dre could check it out,

I'm here now I can't believe it; proof in the Puddin',

Everything happened for a reason,

Through this music I'm able to feed the family,

When I'm stressed out it's my sanity,

It's a life style all in the streets and in Hollywood,

Music in my DNA - it's my livelihood. music.

We gotta believe the children,

We gotta believe in hope,

We gotta believe in more,

Didn't know that we'd know,

See we gotta believe each other,

We gotta open up our minds,

Cause music is for liiife. for life

***NEXT MESSAGE***

Keep the music alive,

The good and the strong survive,

I closed my eyes and imagined I was Jackson Five,

Randy and Michael goin' through life cycle,

Music alive leader - let life go

So vital to a youngster comin' up amongst street hustlers

The big be the toucher's since such a special place

Givin' the ghetto a taste of what freedom is like,

I reached a point in my life where I was needin' the mic',

No second guessin' self-expression an' lessons learned,

Agression became sessions where sessions burned,

Put my soul into it,

now my feet is firm,

And the game - where name is hard to earn,

And hot cat's careers get scarred and burned through the years,

mine took a godly turn,

this is the story of my life here trapped in a verse,

No matter money or the movies - music is first, yea.

We gotta believe the future,

We gotta believe the past,

We gotta believe in more,

didn't know that we had it,

We gotta believe each other,

We gotta open up our minds,

cause music is for liiife. for li-i-ife,

So we gotta believe the children,

We gotta believe in hope,

We gotta believe in more than all we knoow,

So we gotta believe each other,

We gotta open up our minds,

Cause music is for liiiife.
