Ricardo Ignacio - Life As We Know Lyrics

I was born in the gutter
If you ever hear me stutter
It's 'cause I got a lot of thought from every time that I tried
To get the bread and butter
I contemplate on the daily
And if I'm ever aggressive it's 'cause I tried to make you pay me
So don't ever delay me
'Cause that's the reason why they say that I'm so motherf*cking crazy
And yes I'm chill for the most
But I'm way overdosed
From information in these notes
That I take every day and then I spit it back in tunes
And it's all just for you
My mother f*cking troops
Also known as ghetto crooks
Wearing khaki pants and boots
Getting paid a major loot
With no respect for police
With a bunch of f*cking schemes
Trying to jack his for the green
Trying to lock the young teen
Trying to make us all fiends
With a bunch of crack and things
Do you know what I mean
Trying to cut our lives short like a damn guillotine
And that's the game that they play
They play, p-p-p-play

Life as we know
Has got a lot of twists and turns
With events that make us burn
Situations make us yearn
Contemplation is for sure
We are doing all our best
And expect the best in turn
But results are always slow
And insane is where we go
This is life as we know

Life as we know
Has got a lot of twists and turns
With events that make us burn
Situations make us yearn
Contemplation is for sure
We are doing all our best
And expect the best in turn
But results are always slow
And insane is where we go
This is life as we know

Life is a journey
And when I choose to ignore the signs then it comes too fast to burn me
And we often complain and we claim there is no warning
But there's always a sign
Check the mirror 'cause you left it behind
And we never believe in a God when we get what we want
But we always blaming a God when we run out of luck
And mother f*ck is the words that we yell
When we fail
And we wanna give up 'cause we never prevail
Are we living in hell
The ghetto brown tale
It's a muthaf*cking story
Full of worry
And we're stressing in a hurry
But after every dark night there's a brighter day
Better way to get paid
But it all comes in time
All you gotta be is patient
Check out all the nations
F*cked up in despair
Can't survive without welfare
And we're scared everyday
'Cause it stays this way
And it's AK spray
If you bring drama my way
Turning sunny days purple
And it seems that it's a circle
When I see shit come around
And my smiles turn to frowns
So how could I be proud
And my mother says
'Cause you're brown motherf*cker
Oh how I love it when she turns around and says
You're brown motherf*cker so be proud now
Oh how I love it when she says that shit

Life as we know
Has got a lot of twists and turns
With events that make us burn
Situations make us yearn
Contemplation is for sure
We are doing all our best
And expect the best in turn
But results are always slow
And insane is where we go
This is life as we know

Life as we know
Has got a lot of twists and turns
With events that make us burn
Situations make us yearn
Contemplation is for sure
We are doing all our best
And expect the best in turn
But results are always slow
And insane is where we go
This is life as we know

Life is a journey, homie so play smart
