The Dead Rappers Society - Life Lessons 3 (feat. Cody Manson)
Why is it we can only understand lifeWhen we look at it backwards
Time marches onwards
We focus on what matters
Cuz life's a novel and novels are made up by chapters
But theres no script
Its impossible to see the bad actors
So to cope with the factors
We've become masters of laughter
In the wake of tragedy and certain disaster
Enlightenment is what we after
Breaking the chains and escaping our masters
We said we taught you life lessons
When I we did was tell you how it really is
If I could go back to a lad alls I'd tell myself is this
Be better man today then you where yesterday
But most importantnly kid
Is to make sure make time to always go out there and live
Theres some dark times ahead but the good make up for it
Pale Horse will be a bust but DRS they fucking with
You should see how far I've come just after you was gonna quit
We getting lost in the sands of time
Trying to beat the clock
Don't waste no time
We ain't never had shit so we on our grind
Yeah life's a bitch but we still get by
We getting lost in the sands of time
Trying to beat the clock don't waste no time
We ain't never had shit so we on our grind
Don't lost yourself and don't lose your mind
There is no gain without the pain I'm looking in the rearview
Im trying to reclaim the man of the past I've been through what I've been through
And now I'm up here on this stage I'm giving you what I give you
Its stories of my life and everything that I have been through
The heartache the pain
The come up the gain
I'm going from a peasant to becoming a fucking king
An original kid from Akron if you really know what I mean
Rolling through this solar system so fresh and so clean
But still considered an Outkast and I'm doing what I got to do
Im standing on my own two right here in front of you
With this microphone man I'm trying to reach and teach
Do a little better then I did yesterday please
I wanna see it believe it I know it can be
A little better way it start inside of me
I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I laugh
Sitting on my porch reminiscing on what I have
We getting lost in the sands of time
Trying to beat the clock
Don't waste no time
We ain't never had shit so we on our grind
Yeah life's a bitch but we still get by
We getting lost in the sands of time
Trying to beat the clock don't waste no time
We ain't never had shit so we on our grind
Don't lost yourself and don't lose your mind
I've learned a lot of lessons from mistakes that I've made
Ive never been a follower drive on the path that I pave
I ain't thinking about the past fuck back in the day
We just trying to get paid cuz its cash that we crave
The root of all evil will lead you to lucrative people
But your headed for destruction if your energies evil
I look us as equals don't put nobody above you
I told you that I loved you
You responded back with fuck you
So tell where you'll go when you have nowhere to run to
Don't ever sell you soul you don't have nobody but you
Don't let them try to trip you off your spot they ain't really hard
They ain't never fought the case and couldn't beat the charge
They ain't never stepped foot on no prison yard
I've been through hell and back homie you can really see the scars
When you see me in the streets you should be alarmed
But next time you see me your gonna see me in the stars
We getting lost in the sands of time
Trying to beat the clock
Don't waste no time
We ain't never had shit so we on our grind
Yeah life's a bitch but we still get by
We getting lost in the sands of time
Trying to beat the clock don't waste no time
We ain't never had shit so we on our grind
Don't lost yourself and don't lose your mind
