Killer Mike - That's Life lyrics

rate me

The fat bitch singing "show over" end opera

Leader of the crack Rat Pack, I Sinatra

They say I dissed Oprah, I'm like "so what? "

I never get to jump up and down on a sofa (that's life)

Now watch me as I Cruise like Tom through the slums

Where the education's poor and the children growing dumb

In the section of the city where saditty's don't come

Where Mr. Cosby and Mrs. Winfrey won't come

Unless it's a hurricane, then FEMA don't come

Comin live from the city where the Dreamer came from

Standing on the same corners that he stood upon

I got violence in my waistband, death in my palm

Ask em am I a bad guy? "Ya goddamn right! "

I done seen how ya do a nigga when he doing right

The Dream died on a balcony, standing at a hotel

Now niggas whipping coke gel and a O tale

We desegregated - put black with the white

No longer marching for rights - they sparkin' a pipe (that's life)

Pipe dreams, crack fiends, cars look like ice cream

Kids see the bling bling, and they want them nice things

All cause of tennis shoes, our kids drop out of schools

They said be like Mike, so ball nigga (that's life)

Now, Help me understand something... if you really a leader and you

Really mean something to your people, ain't you supposed to

Be in the community with your people? Ain't you supposed to

Be there? Like the only people I see in the communities are

Rappers and ball players, where the fuck all y'all doctors?

Where y'all bourgeoisie niggas at? All the kids got is us!

Grind Time Rap Game...

Read an old magazine, check out a new dress

I'd be having conversations with Cornel West

Killer Mike don't give a damn if it's me ya ain't liking

The last great debate I had was with Michael Eric Dyson

Call me a dumb rapper? Girl stop, pardon me...

You be hard pressed to find another rapper smart as me

Maybe Jay-Z, 2Pac, C-U-B-E

But Oprah'd rather put Supahead on TV

Now whatcha white audience gon' think about we?

The same white audience that watch Bill O' Reilly

I saw the smirk on they face when you came at Luda

The same nice ladies that forgave Martha Stewart

So I can be a crook, take money off the books

Just as long as I'm liked by a rich man's wife?

OK, hold up. I can't rap about doing crime... but if I

Actually do crime, and do time, I can come back out

And have a TV show, with an all white audience, if I rob

Shareholders of millions? (that's life)

But if I rap about gettin some money on the block, it's

A problem? Are you fucking retarded?

I'm not even gonna tell you how stupid you are right now

Cause you should already know... Grind Time Rap Game (that's life)

Niecey had a man, not a mouse or a mole

When the pressure come knockin, I ain't runnin in a hole

George Bush don't like blacks? No shit, Sherlock!

And his daddy CIA, and flooded the hood with rock

And his momma said the women oughta feel at home

Gettin raped in the bathroom in the Superdome

The comment Kanye made was damn near right

But Bush hate poor people, be 'em black or white (that's life)

Hell yeah, I said it! Cause Oprah won't say it

If Bill won't say it, and they still won't say it

If you really bout intelligence, you really know I'm right

If you lookin for some leadership, look for Killer Mike (that's life)

Lookin for a movement, it's Grind Time Rap Game

Kids see us in the street and go bang bang bang

They see me on the street and on the corners they hang
