Post by: One Eyed Willy on October 05, 2002, 12:06:17 PM
if you ever been locked up this shit gonna hit you straight in the heart. this track paints a vivid picture.



Artist: Beanie Sigel
Album:  The Truth
Song:   What Your Life Like
Typed by: c.lsmith@home.com

[Intro]
(What your life like)
Uh
(What your life like)
C'mon
(What your life like)
Fuckin' faggot asses
Nigga
(What your life like)
Man
(Mines is real)
(What your life like)
Think this is a game
Fucker
(What your life like)
Trickses and kids
Niggas
(What your life like)
Strictly grown man shit
(What your life like)
(Mines is real)
Yeah
(Everything signed is sealed)
(What your life like)
(What your life like nigga)
(What your life like)
(Tell me what your life like)

[Verse 1]
Niggas wanna know if Beanie Sigel life is real
Nigga twenty-five ta life is real
I get a body, take me right ta jail
I know what it's like in hell
I did a stretch in a triflin' cell
What you know about twenty-three and one
Locked down all day, underground, neva seein' the sun
Vision stripped from you, neva seein' your son
You got bricks on the strip, neva see 'em get done
What you know about all day
Them Little Debbies and them Chi Chi's, they makin' you sick
You gotta wash out your drawers same water you shit
Brush, gargle, and spit same water you piss
You down wit this nigga, you done killed his brotha
But dog, don't think he don't know it
Think he a sucker cuz he don't show it
Paybacks a muthafucka, and he won't blow it
What you know about them 4 letters, not the kind you write
Or the kind you sit down and type
Sign at the margin, get it right
I'm talkin' 'bout that real time
Life like Eddie or Martin
Ta my niggas, that's up the fort
When I get there fuck a pack, hand me a log
And a push rod toilet sword
So when I hit these niggas up they can't call the guards

[Chorus]
Tell me what your life like
Shit, mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  
Tell me what your life like
Nigga, mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  
Tell me what your life like
Shit, mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  
Tell me what your life like
Nigga, mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  

[Verse 2]
What you know about solitary
Locked down, no commencary
And you wild or ready
And you just seen your mom get buried
You got drowns, comin' in all kinds of flurries
What you know about your towel on your cell when you alone at night
Or a jailhouse hunger srike
Or you sittin' in your cell and just zone one night
And you think "damn, I'm neva comin' home one night"
You got 5 years in, neva been flown a kite
You hearin' grown men moan at night
They got you stuck in the can
White man got you fuckin' your hand
Your wife on land fuckin' your man
What you know about no parole
Life in the hole
Lifes cold, you be eatin' them swags
Guards on the nightshift they be beatin' you bad
The hardest nigga turned bitch, be sleepin' wit fags
What you know about gettin' and shippin' balloons
Keep switchin' positions in the visitin' room
Gotta take Ex-Lax, hope you did it in time
Gotta shit in your palm just ta get ta her rhyme
And you talkin' 'bout your life is this, your life is that
Your life ain't shit, your life is whack
Man you listenin' ta the realest nigga
Close your eyes, muthafuckas tell me you don't feel this nigga
The illest nigga

[Chorus]
Tell me what your life like
Shit, mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  
Tell me what your life like
Nigga, mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  
Tell me what your life like
Shit, mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  
Tell me what your life like
Nigga, mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  

[Outro]
Tell me what your life like
Mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  
Nigga, what your life like
Mines is real
Everything signed is sealed  
Tell me what your life like
Nigga, mines is real
Everything signed is sealed
Tell me what your life like (What your life like)
Mines is real (What your life like)
Mines is real (What your life like)

Beanie is nice, and that song is indeed dope.  I like the album, but once again, is it really a classic?  My favourite Beanie song has to be Nothing Like it, he is awesome on that song and the beat and sample is incredible.

'the truth' is a STREET classic.

i was a lil dissapointed with 'the reason' but it was still decent album. beanie set a high standard for himself with his debut, looking forward to his upcoming album.

yeah 'nothing like it' is classic



Artist: Beanie Sigel
Album:  The Reason
Song:   Nothing Like It
Typed by: RES308@aol.com

I'm just a picture in a frame
man, I paint word pictures on the canvas of life
but I don't control the colors

Yo, I'm ten steps ahead of niggas, that shit scary
sometimes I feel ahead of myself
I hear this voice in the back of my mind
like "Mac maintain, just grind, dog, better yourself"
So what I do?, I take heed and pick up the pace
can't explain it when I pick up my son & look at my face
I'm like a black rose growin' in the concrete crack in the pavement
there that voice go again "Mac practice for greatness,
get paid for them immaculate statements"
Keep thinkin of them hotlines, like a physic, I can't explain it
There's no pen when I write it, there's nothing like it..

God damn, what you want from me, what you want me to tell you huh?
Niggas thought that I would stutter huh, thought I was dumb

But I ain't used to use my mind, I used to just... use my 9
and run wild with my boys, in the streets wild with these wars
now the Qu'ran and 48 laws, they polish my floors
I'm moving niggas like puppets with no strings attached
It's nothin' for Beans, so you know it ain't a thing for Mac
to look in your eyes, see through your heart, know what you fearin'
pick you apart, like you niggas is transparent
(I see right through you niggas)
It's like Mac was born with advanced parents
I'm like the Sun shining at night,
imagine it dog, I know you wanna see me gradually fall
but I'm walkin on air, braking every gravity law
nothing like it...
I spit words that skip through air
let the words of a true thug hit your ear,
it change colors like blue blood when it hit the air
it's nothin' like it...

God damn, shit, I can't explain it
Fuck y'all niggas

I changed my whole life.. in about 9 months, just like sperm in a womb
these young niggas never learn 'til they doomed
try to tell them "you can burn young punk, without smelling the fuse"
make you shiver in the middle of June,
paintin' pictures so vivid, you can hang it up in your room
shine bright like a prism, displaying colors like Crayola
think of the prisons with straight soldiers
think about the niggas who fucked us and played over us
think about the mothers who suffered and prayed over us
Just look at the the picture I've painted, it's so perfect
open your eyes motherfuckers, you can't duck us
no survivors every soul shall suffer,
I'm loadin them revolvers every shell shall touch ya
I promise I'll light your ass with these mags, I'ma bust ya
God damn it's nothin'  like it, I'm serious

can't explain how I write it..

Forgot to mention that this is hardly one of the greatest tracks of all-time.  Not in the top 50 for sure.
