What's Life (feat. Common)

Uh, I said I think I do better

Uh, I swear, I think I do better

Uh

[Cordae]

What is life without love? What's life without dreams?

What's life without goals? Everything ain't what it seems

What's life without friends who remain genuine?

Don't care about the money or what type of crib you in

Who can withstand the test of time? As it's a guess of mine

Here in real life, homie, this is not a set design

Not on TV screens or the magazine covers

Sitting and observin' as the travesty flutters

Why we gotta beef? Shit, I'd rather be brothеrs

Trips to Tokyo with some Japanese lovеrs

Lost boy in this world full of hatred and greed

See a young nigga make it what they hating to see

Never complacent, I be on the chase for the cream

Cash rules everything but you facing a king

Let's step up to this parliament, every fucking bar legit

I know you in denial like an alcoholic father is

Hold up let me pause a bit, nobody is as raw as this

Word to Jesus Christ, I hope nobody ever cross the kid

Damn, yes men of the main Judas

But I will remain as true as my problems I aim through it

This that thought-provoking that leave you lost and hopin'

Voices in my head be lying so my heart has spoken

Rap niggas far from potent, they just out here sayin' random shit

Had to drop a classic 'cause I heard they was demandin' it

Anxiety is damagin', but what's the pressure?

Make that shit that's from the soul but with a touch of effort

Nothing lesser, real love, it ain't nothing better

I swear I need that real love, it ain't nothing better

See, what's life without purpose? What's life without verses?

Lost boy in this shit, what's life without churches?

What's life without belief? What's life without goals?

What's life without me? What's me without soul? My God

[Common]

When they reminisce, will my life be told in sentences?

Then run on until God finish us

Face-to-face with the maker, I show my blemishes

God by nature, I know what my image is

My revelation is the new genesis

On some Master P shit, I don't know what limits is

What's life without love? What's life without haters?

We all gotta eat so to them I don't cater

I might humble you and sit you down like a waiter

Show you what beef is, then tell you what the stakes are

High like a dove, I come from up above

Inspired by two dope boys and one love

This is a letter to the better together with metaphysics

They say life is written and mine got better lyrics

What's life without pitfalls and getting lit, y'all?

They say, life's a bitch, I don't wanna know them in-laws
