Life Royce Da 5'9" (Ft. Amerie)

[Intro]
Come here, Royce

[Chorus: Amerie & Royce Da 5'9"]
Life is a moment in space (come over here)
When the dream is gone (sit down, let me talk to you)
It's a lonelier place (right here, over here)
Uh, this is life
Life is a moment in space (sit on daddy's lap)
When the dream is gone (I want to tell you something)
It's a lonelier place

[Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9"]
Listen, yo
Little Royce Nickel Nine, eyes wide with sight
With a future as bright as the light in the eyes of Christ
Ready to take on the world and whatever is in it
Proofread, sign, and seal whatever you finish
I can only lead you while you're on your quest for knowledge
I'ma teach you to have sense and to respect the dollar
Hope for the best, and you'll see, your world will be solid
I'ma teach you the truth, even behind worldly logic
This is life, cut and dry, days is bright, nights is dark
Fights get sparked, it's almost like to get ahead
You got to be twice as smart, the realities of life is harsh
Just know that God's keeping you level
He'll even speak through the ghetto to reach you
Just to teach you that the streets is the devil
Everybody's design is different
Which means that we're dying by livin'
Oblivious to the time that we're given
So you don't prepare for the death, you live for the life
And live right like, do right by your kids and your wife
Have fun as a child, yo them years is precious
The future brings fear and stress as the year progresses
You gon turn a lot of them down, you gon feel rejection
You gon tell a lot of lies and you gon hear confessions
It's a two way street when you deal in his presence
Only your life can show that everything is real in this message
This is life
