Dilated Peoples - This Way

[Intro:]
Now turn it up, turn it up a little louder!
Turn it up, turn it up little louder!
Now turn it up!
Can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my, I, I can't live...
Now turn it up, turn it up.

[Verse 1: Evidence]
Yeah, yo I can't live my I, I can't live my
Life this way, continually get high,
Instead of runnin' 'round, lock one bird down,
It's a new day, gotta do it big just to get right.
Show no respect, can't live that way,
You hold my check, can't live that way,
Without my chick on deck, can't live that way,
They say what they like, but I've been that way.
Our moves calculated through the lens, almost here,
Success will be the best revenge,
Man, from Clint East' to Kanye West,
The sun can't chill but everyday it sets.
Evidence!

[Chorus:]
This time I made up my mind,
This time I'm back on my grind,
I know there's things in my life
That Imma let go starting tonight.
I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my life this way.
Can't live my, I, I can't live my,
This way, I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
This way, I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my life this way.

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Kanye to the!
My favorite girl wanna leave me just because I got a girlfriend,
My freak girl told me now she a Christian,
My white girl wanna move back to Michigan,
I'm pullin' girls off the bench like a sixth man.
I'm in the club doin' the same ol' two step,
While Omegas doin' the same ol' Q step,
I have my money on my mind, I was thinkin' green,
She a pledge AKA she was pink and green.
I want a good girl, she want a gentleman,
We sayin' the same thing like a synonym,
I wasn't really spittin' game, I was scrimmagin',
My penmanship so hard it needs censorship.
I'm a Chicagoan till Chicago ends,
Till we blow like Chicago wind,
I don't know what's better, gettin' laid or gettin' paid,
I just know when I'm gettin' one, the other's gettin' away.
This way!

[Chorus:]
This time I made up my mind,
This time I'm back on my grind,
I know there's things in my life
That Imma let go starting tonight.
I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my life this way.
Can't live my, I, I can't live my,
This way, I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
This way, I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my life this way.

[Verse 3: Rakaa Iriscience]
Go 'head, flip a coin so the game can start,
Believe I know the drama, kid, name the part,
I learned before the hot flame came the spark,
It's like before the pop fame came to Pac.
But this industry'll play with your life, man,
They playin' with your rent, food, water and lights, man,
That's why Rakaa brings it like that ol' Toddy Tee jam,
The Batterram then I'm off to Amsterdam
To rest up for strength to deal with this weight,
To deal with these deals, to deal with this hate,
I dedicate this Jam Master Jay,
Run-D.M.C. showed me how to walk this way.

[Chorus:]
This time I made up my mind,
This time I'm back on my grind,
I know there's things in my life
That Imma let go starting tonight.
I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my life this way.
Can't live my, I, I can't live my,
This way, I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
This way, I can't live my, I, I can't live my,
I can't live my life this way.
