[GZA, Irfane, RZA - Life Is a Movie lyrics]
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
