[Fat Joe - Life Goes On lyrics]
Yeah, uh, yeah, Loyalty, haha
She was sixteen maybe seventeen, uh
Who you gonna trust? And Life Goes On (2002)
The timin ain't me, it's like, please
Goin through wrong
Speak the truth, haha, speak
The truth, yeah, yo, yo
She was only sixteen
When I met her I was playin the corner
Had to scream one of her niggas
Like get up off her
She was a diamond in the rough
Real neighborhood jewel
You would never see her out
'less she comin from school
At first we started out
Like sisters and brothers
'Till we finally let it out
And started kissin and huggin
And your moms always dissin me
Tryin to get rid a me
I guess she figured out
I had taken your virginity
She was right, sexin all day
When they wouldn't let me in
We be playin the hallway
Talkin all day, bout the stupidest shit
Like if we got rich
What would we do with our chips?
And who was our favorite rappers
It was Nas at the time
We would memorize every single
Bar of his rhymes
Summertime, kids is playin in the park
I might just ride by
Let 'em sprinkle the truck and Life Goes On
She was sixteen, maybe seventeen
I was eighteen
Nineteen maybe a little bit more
(was she a little more) , haha
Yeah, huh, but Life Goes On
She was sixteen, maybe seventeen
I was eighteen
Nineteen maybe a little bit more
Ha ha haha, yeah, yeah, woof, uh, yo
But Life Goes On
This shit got deeper, you was havin my seed
I couldn't wait to see this
Little nigga look like me
Sure enough a little fat guy named D'Ryan
Kept us up all night
Always bitchin and cryin
I was still slingin fast
When "Flow Joe" came out
Things changed, wasn't the same
Wanted to hang out
The groupies was chasin me
Rudely awakened me no longer safe for me
This new world is takin me
You deserve much more than to be mistreated
I was a fucked up nigga
But at least I admit it
Just to be cool, I helped you through school
So you can have your own career
And don't depend on no fool
Life seems crazy when you look back
I pray to God
That you hook up with a good cat
We can't look at, who's right or who's wrong
But, I thought I'd let you
Know through this song that Life Goes On
So I moved on to the next phase a my life
I finally met the women I would make my wife
It was love at the first sight
In the worst way
Shorty kept holdin out, had me thirsty, mercy
Mi shari amor, whisper in my ear
Tell me baby girl is it me that you adore
Used to stay up all night
Just bumpin and grindin
Makin plans for the future
How to hustle my rhyme in
Used to drive cross state for like a G a show
A well known famous rapper
But my pocket's is broke but we kept grindin
Slowly but surely, kept climbin
Pun broke in the doors, now we headlinin
I'm lettin everybody know your
My sweetest possession
How you kept me real strong
Through the deepest depression
Paid no mind to your friends
Cause their words is trife
I hold you down for the rest of your life
Cause Life Goes On
She was sixteen maybe seventeen, uh
Who you gonna trust? And Life Goes On (2002)
The timin ain't me, it's like, please
Goin through wrong
Speak the truth, haha, speak
The truth, yeah, yo, yo
