The Life - Mystic
Come on, come on
Huh huh, yeah
Feel good, don't it?
This is for warm days that drift away
While the sun sets and the ghettos play
Long nights on a hot summers block
Where you sip your brew and never touch your Glock
This is for eyes
That cry like yours
And learn to smile again
And rise above the pain
This is for you and your crew
The ones thats true
Who'll always love you
No matter what you do
Chorus 1:
'Cause its the life, the life, the life (the life, the life)
its the life, the life, the life, (life)
its the life, the life, the life (your life, your life)
its the life, your life, my life, (life)
This is for soldiers who bust they guns
In the name of freedom not the game of fun
True queens who raise they kids
to implement the knowledge, and show 'em how to live
This is for those who stand in line to feed their babies
While we're running out of time
This is for the injustice, behind bars
Our lovers, our leaders, our people, yeah...
Chorus 2:
'Cause its the life, the life, the life (the life, the life)
its the life, the life, the life, (life)
its the life, the life, the life (my life, my life)
its the life, your life, my life, (our lives)
Don't let 'em mis-misguide you
They'll have you actin' like the sun dont shine
And the sky ain't never blue
But you know and i know its all about survival
The struggle of our people is like death unrivaled
For politicians they was never in control
its deeper than that a true battle for the soul
What they want is to bring us to our knees
So my people guard your life by any means
This is for those who know we all gon die
And its set up that way by an infinite power
Those who know, that feel the chains
In the belly of the beast and mental strain
This is for those who have their own fallen angels
Trying to find their way home
This is for everybody (everybody), and anybody so (anybody) slight
Chorus 1
Da dum dum da dum
Da dum dum da dum
Da dum dum da dum ....
yo, you gotta keep smilin
No matter what
Cause this is the life
And whatcha gon do bout that? Eh?

Lives In The Balance – Jackson Browne
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war
And there's a shadow on the faces, Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places, Where their business interest runs
On the radio talk shows and the T.V.
You hear one thing again and again
How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names
They sell us the President the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire
