Life Is a Movie

[RZA] I got scientist killas that'll jam your cell phone Send a text message, kill you off with a ringtone High pitched noise, on your brain, it's heavy Autopsy report, that he jumped off a train It started when the dearly departed, tried to escape max' Then cut into the general's income like state tax One call, to seal the deal with feel Doctor on the payroll, cost a quarter mill [GZA] The mailman's late with the check I'm in the flood with a bunch of bills that's about up to my neck Plus my rent's not paid and the light's about to go off Car got stolen by a thief who likes to show off I can't even get a job, giving out flyers I'm a handyman with a pair of broke pliers The fridge is bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard I'm so down and out, I can only go upward [RZA] I form rhymes in alphabet soups From the rhythm of the spoon, I transform the loop From the steam of the bowl, I'm making special effects Add a dash of spice, only God can detect Had a word, to make a bear return to his cub A word that make a girl come home from the club A word that make a demon return back to God And the word that help Dorothy get home from Oz Thirty frames per second, these films we be perfecting Scenes of light put through all projection Electricity, perfectivity Audio and visually, physically and mentally [GZA] I got a smile that'll make the mirror crack And I seem to stay under clouds that's pitch black So when it rains, it pours, and when it pours, I'm soaked I contracted lung cancer from third-hand smoke And uh, I'm like the frog that's dying to be a prince The boy who cried wolf and no one was convinced The man who hit lotto and lost his ticket In a rainstorm, and struck by lightning trying to get it [Hook: Irfane Khan-Acito] And sometimes I feel like my life's a movie I don't like to film, I don't like to film And sometimes I feel like my life's a movie I don't like to film, I don't like to film Play it all back, play it all back [GZA] Lights, camera, action, let the tape roll Some scripts get ripped, canned or even sold Directors vision, producers decision And raised the budget, because the chase had collisions Stunt double risks his life just for the thrill DP checks the gate before the scene gets sealed Gaffer slapped with a slate for being late Craft service got nervous and dropped a hundred plates Leading actor banging an extra in the trailer Screaming, hitting high notes like Mahalia Box office hit and a Blockbuster smash Two hundred mil' budget and still recouped the cash [Hook]
