The NightLife L.I.F.E. Long

[Intro: Sample with DJ Static Scratches]
“The rhyme was Def a-then it went this way” - Run on Run-D.M.C.’s “Sucker M.C.’s”

[Verse 1: L.I.F.E. Long]
My intro to this world started in ‘74
The sonogram showed a mic attached to umbilical cord
Grew up envisioning tours since the year of ‘84
Wondering how I could turn dreams to much more
‘Cause my Plan B been tossed out the window
Now I’m on a mission to rock flows, keep my third eye exposed
To life’s ups and downs. This rollercoaster ride
Got my mind spinning around like breakers on their backs
Nowadays, disgusted with rap. Everybody similar
Season of the vet—feel the temperature?
Hip hop too dry and needs cooling. And I’m the right teacher
For the schooling. Too many substitutes to the real
Frostbite to these labels giving out million dollar deals
To these artists I can’t feel. While the real heads get
Bamboozled and shafted (Word?). We feeling the effects
Of life’s punches, paying dues, getting our ass kicked
