INTRO [Kardinal Offishall]   Life X3   It's life y'all, life   Word up, life   Uh, can you feel it?   Life   Life, we bring you in the light like this   CHORUS [Jully Black]   Life is so sweet, thank the Lord for my days   Oh, I'm living for today, life might be here went away   Life is so sweet, thank the Lord for my days   Oh, I'm living for today, life might be here went away   [Kardinal Offishall]   Lordy lordy, you took another body   But he didn't cause trouble, didn't bother nobody   He was, just a man trying to rock the mic   But a bullet took his life, aw man   Now my breadren eternally is wearing a dress suit with a shiny shoe   Far stretched from a Gortex don't you think?   I did, now all my man sees is eyelids   Dreams turned into seven, prayers closer to Heaven   Left his baby mother two weeks overdue   Now the two join him, so what side it's truth   Manifiested, because the bless-ed seem to go first   Experience afterlife, the first light since birth   Since we live amoung demons also known as Government   Gangsters… and hookers made to walk the cement   But I (I), Kardinal know the true flow   I have no enemies, but every nigga is a foe   And that's life   CHORUS   [Kardinal Offishall]   Yo, life is what you do, choices between your crew or your girl   I say f- the both of them and struggle solo   Or so I tend to seek a bend in the road of life, mode of trifeness   As brothers I was running with, dead and walking lifeless   See the niceness is what you should be seeking   When you... on the streets and the madness is peaking   And you... should sit back and recollect   Whether your self worth is in your hard work or a piece of leather   More niggas worship idle Gods and call themselves what they pray to   I sit back and meditate to clear my mind off all external pressure   Sometimes pleasure of the body makes my mental feel lesser   Guilt's a bitch when living for now instead of for the scripture   But your afterlife will catch up with your Mister or misses kisses   When I get you in my will and test the money, I find it funny   Since I'm broke in the soul, my spirit's searching for longevity   Ducking from stray shots is taking the best of me   But I will maintain, success has a stain upon my brain   What you make will remain, and that's life   CHORUS   [Jully Black]   Life's so sweet   You gotta thank the Lord for life   You gotta thank the Lord for life   [Kardinal Offishall]   I want to be there to see the eyes of my baby girl   Born into the world of chaos, money, AIDS and violence   Silence breaks my concentration in my private world   Organize, organize so I can flex with my boys   Inside the lance will corrupt, trying to stick you for nothing   Greed, sloth and five others are fillling up my brohters   Word up   Enemy is becoming a part of me and I'm all shooting glocks is making the block hot   Spots rock, 'cause niggas realize in between their finger   Thinking buring completes the circle of being a rap singer   The slogan used to be Just Say No, but now just say yo!   And you as high as the sky go   Imagine my mother said turn the other cheek   But nowadays that will get you sprayed on your back you'll lay   If I can't trust you, then unity never will exist   It's the gritty quoted, yes it's just the life in the city   Word life   CHORUS
