King Myers, Rakim - This Thing Called Life lyrics

I don't think words can describe how I feel
Here
They tried to knock me down but I'm still
Here
I think we all know that it's real here
In this thing that we call life
We only got one tell me if I'm wrong
I hope you remember me when I'm gone
And while everybody singin' my song
I'mma live this thing that we call life

I picture it well
Got the game locked sick of the cell
Young dude witta dream & I'm livin it well
Alotta beautiful women to whom
Beauty is given if I see them & I like
'em then I'm usually wit 'em
It be the, baddest ones wit the mean demeanor
The bad things in life always seem to please
To us and when they say you changin
People think of you wrong


Until they see you once then
The next day you gone
See I'm just livin' mine
I ain't tryna die poor
I ain't tryna be broke when
Death knock at my door
Nah, I want the finer things
Big timer things
Wrist gotta shine, ears gotta bling
You can't live life runnin' & duckin'
But, you could live life
Turning nothin' to somethin'
Make the best outta everything
But be cautious
You know that you makin money
When they keep callin'
I don't think words can describe how I feel
Here
They tried to knock me down but I'm still
Here
I think we all know that it's real here
In this thing that we call life
We only got one tell me if I'm wrong
I hope you remember me when I'm gone
And while everybody singin' my song
I'mma live this thing that we call life

Life ain't a game but I'm winning
Knowing my opponent is deaf
Lovin' every minute 'til not a moment is left
Like I ain't gotta moment to
Rest before they bury me
The goal's to be known as the
Best & hope the legacy
Is what immortal is, performances stun 'em
The enormous lifts street corners
Get from him then all the chicks love him
Then all the enforcin' in
(steve?) moral is E Pluribus Unum
Everyday we gets money
I'm good, I'm still spendin' '86 money
Pull up in that new brink truck banked up
Soon as these niggas get
Caked up, they bankrupt, or banged up
Soon as I step foot on the curb
I get the love in the hood I deserve
For puttin' in work
Supply it like you cook it & serve
Still so good it's absurd
How I feel is hard to put it in words

I don't think words can describe how I feel
Here
They tried to knock me down but I'm still
Here
I think we all know that it's real here
In this thing that we call life
We only got one tell me if I'm wrong
I hope you remember me when I'm gone
And while everybody singin' my song
I'mma live this thing that we call life

Everybody get a chance at life
But everybody ain't livin' it right
Money has no value if you
Ain't spendin' it right
Bad girls get like targets when
They get to the light
So that's exactly why I'm hittin 'em right
I'm on my track
I don't think I ever used a road
Down memory lane is where I used to stroll
No hands but I wonder what my future holds
I want cake cause I'm used to dough
When I be ridin' through the city I
Be doin' all kinds of things
Keepin' it a hunnet wit
Dimes hopin' minds'll change
I'm takin' chances
Tryna turn a mission into a mansion
Tryna turn any mishap 'to a
House in the Hamptons but, it's all good
You live life just to want things
You livin right when you can flaunt things
And I don't know when ima leave this
World so I'mma show it all
Put the candles on the cake I'mma blow it all

I don't think words can describe how I feel
Here
They tried to knock me down but I'm still
Here
I think we all know that it's real here
In this thing that we call life
We only got one tell me if I'm wrong
I hope you remember me when I'm gone
And while everybody singin' my song
I'mma live this thing that we call life
