A Day In The Life

(Ray Tyson)

Postal border was makin' me mad

So I get up in my cruiser, broke out of the pad

Rolled to the West Side to check out my boys

Twenty brothers in the park, all bringin' the noise

Stepped out the car, Levi's saggin'

Gold around my neck with my limb-walk laggin'

Walked up on my boys with the old E chillin'

The box with the big beats and my boys started illin'

A hoop game started so I jump in

Had the hoods' toughest team so I just had to win

Diz to the outside, 2Pac up the center

A ten minute game and we were the winners

The boys started smackin', talkin' that slack and

till he see my posse and the suckers started backin'

Tried to say we cheat, because he got beat

Another lightweight sucker that can handle defeat

People wonder why I choose to live the hype

It's not to understand, it's just a day in the life

Kick it - it's just a day in the life

(2Pac)

Finally I'm on vacation and school is through

So here I am, on Monday mornin' with nothin' to do

Tried to get outta my bed, but I can't move

Ya see I'm stuck to my matress like crazy glue

So there I lay, for half the day just thinkin'

Got up to brush my teeth cause my breath started stinkin'

But I was all alone so it wasn't no thing

Got up to take a shower and heard the phone ring

Picked it up, the salutations, little bit frustrations

Who could be disturbin' me on my vacation?

Speakin' on the phone in an aggravatin' tone

Now I know what Michael meant by leave me alone

So I'm askin' who is it? and the answer shocks me

It was the voice of my homeboy Roc-T

Him and Dizzy had been waitin' for me

Had a show at three and now I'm late as can be

Said I have to take a shower, I'll go ahead and take it

If I leave within the hour, I still might make it

I'm rollin' in a sweatsuit, wasn't tryin' to get cute

Hopped on to the stage and said: "Sorry that I kept you"

I started rappin', girls started clappin'

Couldn't wait to finish so I could start mackin'

Jumped off stage, picked up the girl for the night

Huh, that's how I'm livin', a day in the life, come on

A day in the life

(Ray Tyson)

Stretch white limo hits the colessium

A crowd full of people sayin: "I can't wait to see him"

Who is in the limo, who are they talkin' about?

Strictly Dope in the house, hear to turn the party out

We get out the car and can barely stand

Cause everywhere I look are screamin' fans

Girls on my tip but I really don't sweat 'em

They'll tear my new clothes if your bodygurad'll let 'em

Hit backstage with two minutes to spare

Just enough time to grip a breath of fresh air

We hear the introduction, the audience is loud

I stepped out on the stage and then I moved the crowd

Winners all over, we tried to leave the scene

but there's a whole crowd of people at the limousine

Pen and paper in my face, I couldn't be mean

So I was signin' autographs at the age of seventeen

People wonder why I choose to live the hype

It's not hard to understand, it's just a day in the life

Kick it - it's a day in the life

Kick it, kick it, kick it

(2Pac)

Coolin' with my posse at the neighborhood disco

Talkin' to a cutie as I'm sippin' on my cisco

Askin' me to dance but I keep on sayin' "No"

Hate to dance fast, I only like to do it slow

Dizzy's on the dance floor, funky, funky motion

Girl keeps on sweatin' me with sexual kind of totions

Roc is signin' autographs makin' girlies dizzy

Crowd sweatin' Strictly Dope cause we're gettin' busy

Suckers wanna battle us, we move in silence

Strictly Dope is positive, we're tryin' to stop the violence

Started feel tipsy, I'm lookin' for the door

The Cisco had me dizzy, I stumbled to the floor

And more I try to sit up, the less I seem to get up

My stomach starts to turn and my head feels wit' up

The room begins to spin, I pass out for the night

Just another way of livin' a day in the life, kick it

(Ray Tyson & 2Pac)

Knew I was a genius, soon as you seen this

Avoid hoe's value, don't have to redeem this

Teenage terror, no room for error

A girl start dissin', and I SCARE HER!!

Risin' like inflation on your favorite station

Rap is my forte and my recreation

Girls wanna kiss me, suckers wanna diss me

My mother didn't want me to be, but I'ma emcee

The ladies desire, emcees admire

That's why many hate me and call me liar

Hoods of the hype-tip, girls on the ill-trip

I'm through rockin' this whack, so that's it

I am the high type, my style is so right

It's not hard to understand, it's just a day in the life
