Ess3ncE - Life
HOOK
this life we live is full of happiness, stress 'n sorrow/
can't deal wit today, u become obsessed wit tomorrow/
sunny days ahead, but there's always clouds in the sky/
there's no point in runnin, we juss scream loud 'n cry/
this life we live is funny cuz we strive to many things/
consumed by greed 'n power, i juss wanna spread my wings/
'n fly away from all this, no more pain 'n sufferin/
enough of them, i wanna git away from tha stuff i'm in/
VERSE 1
shit is Deep, been part of a Mobb since birth/
each step we takin, dis ain't livin, dis is hell on earth/
but wut can't kill me can only make me stronger/
so i guess i'ma stick around juss a lil longer/
street dreams, lifestyles of tha rich 'n famous/
when we on top, cats juss wanna bitch 'n frame-us/
same cats take u down after helpin u reach tha top/
strippin down everythin that each of us got/
we civilized, yet so quick to kill for the green/
tha dead girl on TV? damn, Jill was thirteen/
tha way i see it, we all must be standin crazy/
turn on tha news, anotha dead abandoned baby/
a life wasted cuz sumone was too scared or lazy/
dunno why or how nobody could've cared but mayb/
we're all juss murderous and suicidal/
lookin for the quickest way to death, rather than survival/
underage drinkers drinkin till they pass out, thoughts relapse/
smokers smokin till tha day they gaspin, gotta collapse/
tha way i see it, we must be brainwashed, deceived/
blinded by our dark desires squashed wit greed/
societies trashin minds wit materialistic needs/
life's already harsh, keep it simplistic please/
HOOK
VERSE 2
i took a step bak, looked at life 'n its events/
decisions, the paths i took presents 'n prevents/
me from goin bak to tha way things once were/
a big blur...shit, it's been months it occured/
juss can't seem to focus 'n think straight no more/
but juss listen to wut i have to say before/
your thoughts decide to judge me for my actions/
i find no satisfaction, i ain't lookin for reactions/
each day passes, i'm slowly dyin on tha inside/
life's so weary i gave it up, had Death eyed/
it looked me up 'n down, asked for an explanation/
i'm tired of temptations, anger, and frustrations/
but it said Death's not an invitation nor salvation/
from my troubles, thas how it ends my conversation/
so i'm askin God please forgive me for wut i've done/
from shit said 'n itchin to blast a foo wit a gun/
i seem to be lost, blinded lookin for tha light/
like 'Pac, i'm doin me, wut i believe is right/
gittin back on my feet cuz i've feel a-lot/
come wit me Hail Mary cuz it's dark 'n hell's-hot/
HOOK x2
