The Dead Rappers Society - Life Lessons Lyrics

Deep down in them catacombs
I'm in the heart of city
Staring out of this tower man I'm starting to feel gritty
Cuz I'm feeling for the needy
Man they're on every corn
One shaking a cup saying you got some bones
You gotta dollar
Next corner saying Jesus is reborn
Can I talk to you about God
I turn around a little change to make it back home
Man I'm trying to make it back home to
A safe trip back to my wife and my crew
Cuz I ain't from this city but I still love it
Deep in my heart I know The Land can rise above it
Because the dream is way bigger, then the path that was laid
And every brick that I walked on, I know that I slaved
To the game to make it happen
I could gives a fuck if I make it rapping
You Know
But I'm beast with it
And it's truthfully taught
The only reason I still do this man, It's cheaper then the Doc

Quit turning life lessons in to life sentences
Who's the man that taught you to be relentless
Let out confessions of depression be a lesson to quit stressing
Cuz it will talk you to the darkest place of you mind if you let it
Quit turning life lessons in to life sentences
Who's the man that taught you to be relentless
Let out confessions of depression be a lesson to quit stressing
Cuz it will talk you to the darkest place of you mind if you let it

So it's like this right
Walking down 93
Looking in the faces of what I could been
If I would of taken one wrong step as a little kid
Eating dinner from a dumpster
You can stand in the rain, or you can bring the thunder
When they start popping shots we don't duck for cover
Koop will start talking shit, to you sorry mother fuckers
I'm so old school I still rock Shell Toes
Smoking G-13 watching Mel-Rose
I come from the days when kids still got the fucking belt yo
Loyalty
Now that's some shit y'all knowing about it
When you get sacked like my weed
You get real fucking loud
Can't wait to tell them what the operations about
When it would of been all Jesus
If you would of just shut your fucking mouth
I was born in the valley in the shadow of death
Raised around psychos with rifles tweaking on meth
Who didn't give a fuck about life and praised death

Quit turning Life Lessons into life sentences
Who's the man that taught you to be Relentless
Let our confessions of depression be a lesson to quit stressing
Cuz it will take you to the darkest place of your mind if you let it
Quit turning life lessons in to life sentences
Who's the man that taught you to be relentless
Let out confessions of depression be a lesson to quit stressing
Cuz it will talk you to the darkest place of you mind if you let it
