"What It Be Like" lyrics - INSPECTAH DECK
[Chorus:]
You know we tryna eat right
Homies in the street life
So we holding heat like
We going at the beast ride
Never get no peice right
Tell 'em what it feel like
You know we get no sleep right
Not knowing of the peace life
Drama never cease right?
Killers on the creep night
So we got the cheap ride
Tell 'em what it be like
There's a war goin' on right now no one is safe from
A hundred shells ripped off from out the K-drum
Straight from the slums, I'm riding with my day ones
Goons salute like, "Hello!", waving the gun
Smokin' aces, open cases, broken language
Oh jeez, taking straight sides with no chases
No respect, no love, so there's no favors
Got a brand-new bag filled with old paper
Now separate the left in the gross
Never boasts, weapon blows for whoever approach
If you don't know the cole that is pressing your dome
Never old dough, 9 out of 10, the special will blow
Better question what you reppin like "is this your man?"
You probably never know until shit hits the fan
This is the plan, got business to plan
Gotta a lick in between your sick hit the fan
[Chorus:]
You know we tryna eat right
Homies in the street life
So we holding heat like
We going at the beast ride
Never get no peice right
Tell 'em what it feel like
You know we get no sleep right
Not knowing of the peace life
Drama never cease right?
Killers on the creep night
So we got the cheap ride
Tell 'em what it be like
[Music]
Bodies gettin' dropped on front street
Day in the life they say its life
They ain't say it was right
When the plug's started paying the price
Competition on the block 20k ain't gonna make it tonight
Might nigga, nigga grab the drill then
Catch some niggas lined outside of the building
They ain't give it up, he decided to kill them
Broad daylight, in the eyes of the children
I ain't gotta tell 'em it's real
Them numbers on the gangster state big compell 'em to squeal
Can't save 'em, can only try to help 'em to heal
Fast life, get the money, can't tell 'em to chill
I feel your pain, I was raised in the same drama
Ol beef, new face, on the same corner
They follow with the ways to face the same karma
Everybody out here trying to make their dollar
[Chorus:]
You know we tryna eat right
Homies in the street life
So we holding heat like
We going at the beast ride
Never get no peice right
Tell 'em what it feel like
You know we get no sleep right
Not knowing of the peace life
Drama never cease right?
Killers on the creep night
So we got the cheap ride
Tell 'em what it be like
