Wu-Tang Clan - Life Changes lyrics

(yeah, yeah)
Ayo, how much more for a fifth of Vodka?
(Peace beloved)
(Six bottles of Henny, six bottles of Henn)
Word, word, let me get that
Herb, yeah, yeah (bring that bucket here)
Yeah (get some ice, man, two more bottles of Cru', man, word up)

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

Peace to the God
(peace, God) pour out a little liquor
"Shame on a Nigga
" I heard the reaper done came to get ya
So I done copped a fifth of
Vodka and in your honor
I've grown this fetish for loose
Ladies and baby mommas
Some say it's bad karma, what you do, man
It come back on ya
Music got us up off them crack corners
Now I'mma swallow this whole
Bottle for Ol' Dirty
Damn, it hurts me I hate
It when brothers go early

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

Word to my son, he gon' remember you
Rubbing on a statue
In his lab, that resemble you
And what it meant to Wu
Us forming like a family, you just blew
You was the chess piece on the
Board that made us look true
Watching your pen swish
You loved frying kingfish
You the pearl in the ocean
I'm up on the land, pissed
Now you moving more prestigious, me
Hitting this reefer i know it's real
Guess I slept with the Black Jesus

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

I became weak when I heard
That his body expired it was hard for me to
Believe my brother retired
Suddenly, the clock stopped and
The room started spinning
How can he walk off the
Field during the first inning?
I cried like a baby on the
Way to his place of death
Hate not being there the
Minutes before he left now I'm in the booth
Ten feet from where he lay dead
I think about him on this song
And what he might've said

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

When I first heard the word
I needed air to clear my head
I know you didn't say what
I thought you said, my brother's dead
You crazy
Another Dirty prank to get the family cranked
Y'all niggas shouldn't play like that
I know how you feel, Lord, but it's real
And I still can't believe
And my heart still grieves the loss
There's no pretending
Ason Unique loved wine and fine women
We singing on tour, "ooh baby
We like it raw"

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

Can't pretend
Some day it gotta come to an end
But I'mma keep you right here dog
Real close to my heart yeah

I popped a bottle on your born day, God
Tried hard not to cry
I still can't hide the scar
And I still ask "why?" to God
Analyzing your form
As I stood there beside your mom
And I share the blame, cuz
You was calling for help, kid
Should've, would've, could've, had the time
I was selfish
I carry on your struggle, each day
It really hurts me
I really miss you, Russell
Hope you forgive me, dirty

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

Yo, these walls I wanna crash
And put my fists through shout out to Dirty
Let the whole world miss you
Reach out and kiss you in your coffin
My heart races i dropped tears and watch my
Nigga fall from greatness
It's all wasted, flushed down the drain and
Soon as the news hit me
I bust out with pain and
Rivers I cried, my brother just died
I'mma see you, my nigga, on the other side

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

Ah, man, how do I say goodbye?
It's always the good ones that have to die
It's hard to live without you, God
I shouldn't have doubted you
When you said that The Passion of
Christ was all about you
From the God Mobile, to Linden Plaza
To Brownsville
Florida to Ohio, to Putnam, to Park Hill
You interrupt the Grammy's, said
"Wu for the kids"
Took four or five shots when
They rushed in the crib
Trey-five-seven cracked ya ribs
Cops shot ya whip
You've been chased by the pigs
Sold the four year bid
Crashed cars, still came out without a scar
They tried to keep ya free
Spirit trapped in a jar
So you'll keep ya mouth shut
And not tell the world
Who's who and what's what
And probably go nuts
How we treat them hoes? Dirt
How we treat them hoes?
We fuck 'em in the butt, Dirt

I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending

But those mistakes behind me
Cast shadows to remind me

Gong bangs
Sifu Shi Yin Ming reciting the Heart Sutra
