Tech N9ne, Joey Cool, Gee Watts, Krizz Kaliko - Life Sentences lyrics

I won't look back anymore, after this
Pitch black, star bright, yeah that's my life
A bit of fire and ice
Watch friends, plot foes
Stock ends and pot holes
'Cause when the tank hit the bank
It just got closed
Don't be stank in the paint
'cause the yak froze

Wish I knew back when I was strugglin'
If I plugged in and kept bustin'
I'd be buzzin', that'd make me super rich
Never knew my sufferin' over but
Cousin, I keep it up and gushin'
And tell all of my family, aunts and uncles
Cousins to do the shit
Just gain power through all
Of the rain showers
No good to remain sour 'cause
Someone else's lame hours


Wish I woulda known to tell 'em
All to start they own business
Make long digit's instead of havin' a boss
Who talk at the wrong pitches
To fake friends, 'cause it's never enough
At hostile situations with folks
I learned it's better to bust
First, and you still a nigga no
Matter how much ya stuff's worth
You love who love you, do hug who does true
Connect the true blood to cuzz blue
So keep hopin' the Lord does show up
'Cause it'll never be no peace on
Earth for all of us 'Til this mug blow up

Locked up, I'm free still doing time
I'm stuck, on those that's on my mind
Incarcerated, sometimes I hate it
This is the sentence of my life

Ponderin' these thoughts while sittin'
Idle in this mezzanine
Feel my feelin's boilin' up
I'm simmerin' on everything
Goin' for the gold because it's shimmerin'
But everything
That you encounter seems to be devoured
Need a better team
Every thought and every dream
Every plot and every scheme
Lurkin' around the corner is a
Hater waiting like a fiend
And choice of drug is negative
And they use it like a sedative
Success becomes the cause of this effect
Abuse the medicine
You thinkin' you can let 'em in
Partake in buildin' excellence
The serpents come in twos and
They meticulous with they meddlin'
The feathers flock together
See the relationships we settle in
Got consequences so it's best to let 'em go
We blessed again disloyalty unfoiled
Trynna justify they pestilence
I don't understand why they
So demanding manic pessimists
I guess if I had to
Guess, I'd make an estimate
I guess that they
Was just afraid so watch us levitate
'til I'm at heaven's gate

Locked up, I'm free still doing time
I'm stuck, on those that's on my mind
Incarcerated, sometimes I hate it
This is the sentence of my life

Mmm, life sentence for fallen
Angel physical body
Illuminate my soul, officially became godly
I be the one
All of these demons runnin' from
Dumped a gun, lifted spirit's
Niggas deem me the chosen one
Phony family in my crowd
Rappin' gap and loud
Facin' twelve in the pen
None of them niggas made a sound
None of them niggas round
Now the fame close and the name boasts
I'm 'posed to break bread bitch, taste toast
I should smoke them ungrateful bitches
They doin' the most to see
What make you choke
It actually leave ya throat missin'
I'm on a mission to revisit kin and
My prime been hidden, trynna dine with women
Dipped in finest linen
Try and find a business
I love who love Gee, fuck you if it's fuck me
That's just how it gotta be
'cause I'm paper routin' tame nuisance
Insane view and check on my lawn
Strange recruit me
Guess when the god speakin' Strange Music

Locked up, I'm free still doing time
I'm stuck, on those that's on my mind
Incarcerated, sometimes I hate it
This is the sentence of my life
Here the sentence of my life
This is the sentence of my life

Instead of cry, maybe I'll keep it inside
Instead of cry
I cry maybe I'll keep it inside
Instead of cry, maybe I'll keep it inside
Instead of cry
I cry maybe I'll keep it inside
Instead of, maybe I'll keep it inside
I cry, maybe I'll keep it inside
Ma maybe, I'll keep it inside keep it inside
