Jurassic 5 - Contribution lyrics

Yo, either you a part of the problem
Or part of the solution
What's your contribution to life
So many people complain
Always talk about change yo
But what's your contribution to life
Either you with or ain't with it
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Yo what's your contribution to life
Either you give or you take
Make moves and you wait yo
But what's your contribution to life
You're about to witness three
Of the most common
Tales of man, woman and human
The difference between the three
Is that there is not difference
Just other outcomes
Listen and witness the common tales

Aye yo my momma and a nigga for life
Love carousel, cuss yell and fight
Seven nights a week
No respect when they speak
Disrespect between the sheets
The ends don't meet no rice beans or meat
My momma was the bread winner plus
She had to cook his dinner
My daddy was a full time sinner
Poppa was a stone an'
Stayed gone till November
Off of that 'gnac, that made me mack
Like the devil done took his soul
And ain't given it back
Remember that, when you play for the bless
Speedy victory for the poor and the press
I can't stand the stress
It's test and time press
Up against my momma and daddy chest
I try and rest with no stretch of the mind
I can't find no piece
Of mind within this family of mine, yo

She got chips and you don't
That's bottom line
That's just the way love goes
Hmmm lets rewind you really ain't paid
You clockin minimum wage
Now basically you a slave
Your wife studies for days
No money for much, just movies and such
The way your two hands clutch
You know it's love not lust
Now she's sick of the bus
And using you as a crutch
And on top of this stuff
She graduates in a month
Damn, her new job got her clocking the dough
Now she's buying new clothes
And taken you to the show
You feeling like you the ho
Not knowing which way to go
And ultimately you know
You ain't feeling her so
You need to get up, get out and get something
Your job ain't nothing
All these years you've just been frontin
Thats the way she played ya
The talked in rager went back


She always said I'm out husslin for food
Kitchen indeed
While this nigga spend his ends on booze
Bitches and weed i thought that we'd agree
With two kids to feed
That you would slow your roll
But instead of switchin your speed
You slapped me
You can't attack me thinkin' I'mma be happy
In fact, get to packin' and leave rapidly
After we witness, no love between parents
The father type that was once
On the scene vanished
Supreme damage to couples that match these
Producin generations of kids
With latched keys
Her daughter learned from momma
How to reject men, her sons attracts women
That don't respect men, and then
One parental provider can be the plan
But no woman can truly teach a
Boy to be a man
That's why I'm always telling these
Many pals of mine
The most that you can spend
On any child is time

Look we don't have all the answers
We're victims also
To the same situations, but man
Plans and the lord plans
And the lord is the best of planners
So what's your contribution to life

Yo, either you a part of the problem
Or part of the solution
What's your contribution to life
So many people complain
Always talk about change yo
But what's your contribution to life
Either you with or ain't with it
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Yo what's your contribution to life
Either you give or you take
Make moves and you wait yo
But what's your contribution to life

What's your contribution to life
