My Life

歌詞

[Chorus] I've got something to tell you I believe you, I believe you I've got something to tell you I believe you really ought to know [Hook] This is my life [X4] (Think about it echoeing in background) [Verse 1 - 1Ton] It started when my pops moved away from Africa When to college in America, and met my mom in Canada Interracial couple, no one would date 'em double That's about the time my momma's stomach grew a bubble I was still inside, I wasn't black, I wasn't white But to the world I was still a nigga, just a little light No time for ignorance, I just gotta live my life Treat everybody with respect and hope that they can get it right 'Cause when I was a youth, my parents moved to California Said that I would understand it more when I became older The south was segregated, the East was way behind It's not the color of your skin, but what's inside your mind The motto that I kept in every house a nigga slept On every block that I roamed, on every spot I called home I went to Jr. High with all the Asians and the Blacks Learned to give respect and expect to get it back Every time I meet a different race I try to learn somethin' In the Barrio, eat burritos like it's nothin' Keep an open mind, got a lot left to do Learned to surf from a nigga, learned to rap from a Jew Gotta spread knowledge every time I'm on stage This is the book of life, every day's another page So when my time is up and I fall over dead I hope I was successful like im gettin in your head.--~~~~PILLZBARRY [Hook] This is my life [X4] (Think about it echoeing in background) [Chorus] I've got something to tell you I believe you, I believe you I've got something to tell you I believe you really ought to know [Verse 2 - Underrated] They wanna keep us divided so that we're easy to control Color this, color that, there ain't no color in my soul I don't separate, nope, I definitely don't discriminate Fuck David Koresh, and fuck the KKK 'Cause my parents were hippies, teach me peace and love Taught me all people were equal, don't be mean to no one So I took the information, and when I watched when I was young I lot of kids in my classes acted racist and dumb Only a handful of black kids that went to my school I overheard them being called the n-word by the cool And when my back's turned, I'm a money hungry Jew I didn't blame 'em, they just had an ignorant point of view I'm lucky I got white friends, Puerto Ricans, and Indians And do business on a mission with a black dude and Mexican No questions; treat each other like a family is how we livin' So when I rap, understand I wanna reach the children We gotta open up our mind like Cheech & Chong In a world full of Jimmy the Greek's and Rush Limbaugh's They're tellin' lies and they love to generalize I believe don't believe in nothin' unless you've seen it with your own eyes [Hook] This is my life [X8] (Think about it echoeing in background) [Chorus X2] I've got something to tell you I believe you, I believe you I've got something to tell you I believe you really ought to know
