[De La Soul - U Can Do Life lyrics]
Say R r, R c'mon, c'mon, bounce, bounce
C'mon, bounce, rock, roll r, R
You can do, whatever you want
Whatever you like
It's your own life (Life your life, y'all)
So let me be, to do what I want
To do what I like
'Cause this is my life (R, R)
It's been about ten long years
My skin wreaks
Flavors that your incense couldn't match
We burn slow like syphilis in your piss
Accommodated
With the penicillin, you're listenin' to
This "Art Official" will keep
Your shoes moonwalkin'
Soon to talk about, "Pop Music"
You'll buy it cause you choose it
A lot of MC's is really S&M'n (R, R)
Whips and chains
I maintain like a old jazz singer
Ella Fitz in any location
Held back in rotation, an apple a day
Only makes a nigga fruity
I eat responsibilities to carry out my duty
Rem in the MD's
I pull it out just to polish it
Make notes if you earnin'
Or wait your turnbuckle
I stick to gettin' mines like stucco (R, R)
You can do, whatever you want
Whatever you like it's your own life
So let me be, to do what I want
To do what I like
'Cause this is my life (R, R)
I'm that full-time rapper
The nickname's Llama part-time father
If you ask my daughter's mommas
Missin' in action cause the
Action got a fraction
Of the world listenin' to me
Got me travelin' overseas in lands constantly
Got a sea of hands wavin', ain't misbehavin'
But a lot of kids cravin'
For somethin' they ain't got
Like the keys to the ride and a
Pocket with a knot and it's
Holdin' they ground 'til they rot in it
Plottin' it, lockin' it down strong
Cause it's nothin' wrong gettin'
Your bubblin' on sticker
But too much bubblin' can
Make you fizz quicker
So, watch your stack, keep your fam intact
And pay attention to the now
I'm clearin' the mess
While they stressin' back in the day
I'm at the front of the night
With my crew shinin' light on the (R, R)
You can do, whatever you want
Whatever you like
It's your own life (Life your life, y'all)
So let me be, to do what I want
To do what I like
'Cause this is my life (R, R)
You can do, whatever you want
Whatever you like it's your own life
So let me be, to do what I want
To do what I like
'Cause this is my life (R, R)
Now, we're on top of this
Like a typical bed position
Peepin your view
Got your whole crew wishin' and waitin'
Makin dollars out of ten dime pieces
Who be sippin' out the glass suckin'
On the lime pieces included?
In my pieces I pen the good livin'
And even when we're stressin' from
In the hood livin' at least
We're livin' and there ain't no hell in that
Give me a yell in that, and go (R, R)
I wanna see the world ten times over
Dive off cliffs and land
On opportunities unthinkable
You sinkin' straight to the bottom
While I float in parades
That St patty couldn't put up
All my niggas tryin' to build
Then throw your wood up
Design life like PNB gears
So stand clear for the blast off
Last off my chest, peace to Dave West
Live your life to the fullest (R, R)
You can do, whatever you want
Whatever you like
It's your own life (Live your life, y'all)
So let me be, to do what I want
To do what I like
'Cause this is my life (R, R)
You can do what you want, what you like
Let me be what I want, what I like
C'mon, bounce, rock, roll r, R
You can do, whatever you want
