What's Life (From "Liberated / Music For the Movement Vol. 3")

Uh, I said I think I do better

Uh, I swear, I think I do better

Uh

What is life without love? What's life without dreams?

What's life without goals? Everythin' ain't what it seems

What's life without friends who remain genuine?

Don't care about the money or what type of crib you in

Who can withstand the test of time? That's just a guess of mine

Here in real life, homie, this is not a set design

Not on TV screens or the magazine covers

Sittin' and observin' as the travesty flutters

Why we gotta beef? Shit, I'd rather be brothers

Trips to Tokyo with some Japanese lovers

Lost boy in this world full of hatred and greed

See a young nigga make it what they hatin' to see

Never complacent, I be on the chase for the cream

Cash rules everything but you facin' a king

Let's step up to this parliament, every fuckin' bar legit

I know you in denial like an alcoholic father is

Hold up let me pause a bit, nobody is as raw as this

Word to Jesus Christ, I hope nobody ever cross the kid

Damn, yes men are the main Judas

But I will remain true as my problems I aim through it

This that thought-provokin' that leave you lost and hopin'

Voices in my head be lyin' so my heart has spoken

Rap niggas far from potent, they just out here sayin' random shit

Had to drop a classic 'cause I heard they was demandin' it

Anxiety is damagin', but what's the pressure?

Make that shit that's from the soul but with a touch of effort

Nothin' lesser, real love, it ain't nothin' better

I swear I need that real love, it ain't nothin' better

See, what's life without purpose? What's life without verses?

Lost boy in this shit, what's life without churches?

What's life without belief? What's life without goals?

What's life without me? What's me without soul? My God

When they reminisce, will my life be told in sentences?

Then run on until God finishes (uh, said I think I do better)

Face-to-face with the maker, I show my blemishes (uh, I swear I think I do better)
