That's Life - Funky DL

Verse One

My Pops told me that I was alone in this world

When there’s trouble it’s bound to be a solitary struggle

When you’re rich you won’t see notin' but extended arms

When you broke you can’t do nothing but extend your charm

But it doesn’t take much to improve your situation

When you got no money but you exercise patience

The fact is everywhere you turn there’s many taxes

That’s why we gotta' put in any practise

To catch this good life we all seeking

I learned how not to listen when a fool’s speaking, I won’t profit

So I only listen to a wise mans words

And it takes a lot to really quench a wise mans thirst

For life, that’s why I never settle for what is

Or settle for what was, how can we really live?

If we work hard, see an opportunity and take it

Six bils' the population but we all can’t make it but that’s life

When you find someone and then you fall in love

And then they break your heart (that's life)

When you’re underpaid and you’re late for work

And plus your car won’t start (that's life)

When your baby’s born and the birth was smooth

And it’s healthy (that's life)

When you went from broke and then you made a move

And now you’re wealthy (that's)

Verse Two

I made crazy money when I was just in my teens

Signed a contract for writing rhymes and making beats

Put in five years work and then another five

Waiting patiently for everything I dreamed for to arrive

And as I got older I became more aware

That a little comes here and a little comes there

And some things are not for me I learned to accept it

Failure tried to be my friend, I learned to reject him

But even though I did good and raised up my business

I got stopped by the police who said I looked suspicious

Got pulled to the side had to empty out my pockets

They asked of ID so I reached into my wallet

Then showed them my visa with my name and my business

They attitude changed and they took mad interest

They realized I had no time for crime in my life

But an all black Hoodie was a stereotype but that’s life

When you’ve planned for a whole year to take a trip

And now it’s here you’re sick (that's life)

When you bought new clothes in the store last week

And they just don’t fit (that's life)

When you call a friend and apologize

Now you tight again (that's life)

When you lost all faith but you pray to God

And now there’s light again (that's)

That’s life, that’s life, that’s life, that’s life, that’s life

Verse Three

One of my real good friends put his girl in a coma

I think it was the ignorance and drugs taking over

Another good friend turned his back on me quickly

After such a long time and for less than a fifty

I have another friend and to him I stay close

He works real hard I respect him the most

Has my back when I need it, I got his when he need mine

He going fast forward while the others just rewind

See I understand the true value of a man

Doing what you cannot instead of doing what you can

Diligence, integrity, tolerance and sacrifice

Speak the hard truth no pretence and always acting nice

There’s a few that I can trust with my life

Who won’t serve they own cause but will do what is right

And God created every man to be this way

But many got contaminated, principles changed but that’s life

When you go to the bank just to get some cash

And it swallows your card (that's life)

Plus the bank is closed and your cash is low

Now you thinking hard (that's life)

When you passed a test and your grade was A

And you glistening (that's life)

When you start to speak everybody stops

And they listening (that's life, yeah)

(that's life x5)
