This Is Life

Let's go... Apollo Brown [Verse 1: Red Pill] That dude Apollo told me black out Got that pressure feeling like it's really building on the surface Chilling, underneath I'm cracked out My blood pressure rises knowing what's on the horizon Like I'm rising but already feeling tapped out Like my cash cow is fresh outta milk And [?] taking diligence and effort to build And nobody pays attention to the messengers killed I've been thinking lately I should make my exit and, chill And that perspective is real Getting caught up in my record and how editors feel See my competitors and know that I'm ahead of the field But still, I'm trying to be better than Pill So, you know my head gets filled with politicking Like Obama and a senator's bill With thoughts spinning, walk with them, lost in it Liquor store blues, how's that medicine feel? [Hook: Red Pill] So walk with me in this dark city With this heart skipping where the people talk shitty Where it's hard living and know every part's given And it's part gritty, and it's part prison Where each day we're complacent, decay with the pain We play with the paint while we're looking for that new thing We wait every month on the day we get on but This is life motherfucker, what did you think? [Verse 2: Verbal Kent] Red Pill told me black out I wasn't always so blessed I'm thankful, had so much less than what I have now A rapper want beef I bring the mad cow Put in work now, so we can walk the last mile Mamma told me there'll be life's like this A rapper reincarnated, rocking mics like this Must be, I know I cat wish he had nine lives First week, know you felines Verb speaks This is life motherfucker, what you thought? Students of the game, always stay nor what you taught Molotov cocktail all up in your thought Find fragments of my life scattered all up in my art I'm all up in it from start, finish to end Wanna pass it to the black of my heart tinted again Till then keep manouvering Moving on the right path Moving with my pad, keep doing it [Hook] [Verse 3: Red Pill] And there's a lot of days I gotta take a step back And anyone who's ever been there respects that Cause when I get vindictive, I get intricate And specific as pin prick is Most of my bullshit in this is self-inflicted And I know that I helped this sickness Most of my problems I create It's hard to swallow what I ate but scraped the bottom of my plate So am I following mistakes or do I make them on my own And caulk it all up to my fate Cause everyday it seems I wind up with another issue Something to get through, more I gotta live through And I get shocked by it, still surprised When the noises in my life interrupting, they are not quiet So is it something to get used to or something that I already knew? Just had to move through [Hook]
