Title: Knoc-Turnal - What Is Life (One Mic)
Post by: Lil Jay on June 04, 2003, 06:01:53 PM
Damn anyone actually listenend to this track??  KNoC spits some hardass lyrics on this track...str8 up truth..theres two versions.....one called "What is Life" and the other one is like a Freestyle over the "One Mic" beat...peep the 2nd one

Knoc-Turnal - What Is Life (One Mic Freestyle):

Hennessy with nuthin but Pain/
Gettin High and Fucked up/
All this drama got me and my gun hooked up/
I see poverty and babies crying due the hunger/
Do you wonder why Cali is filled with so much deaths in these streetz?/
Shit Im about to say its heartfelt/
...
Life in these streetz will never be the same/
Teenage mothers in Gas stations beggin for spare change/
Makes me think the life is only good for one thang (whats that?)
for being taken away/
I watched this 12 year old hold a pistol to his face/
crying sayin "Im sorry God but I just dont see no other way"/
in his life he aint never seen his fathers face/
and his moms dying an alley due to a crack overdose today/
In this day in age, theres millions of prisoners with babies/
little girls tryin to be ladies/
the streetz' gettin hard where even the dark starves/
.....
But we all live to learn if we dont then in the Afterlife we'll all be livin to burn/ <----  :o
What is Life?/


theres much more to it but I suggest you peep it..dope lyrics

Yeah, I got both of them..
The OG track is "What is life", and the newer track is the one where they blended his lyrics over the "One Mic" beat..

He spits some serious game on there..
Just like he does on "Your only son", he talks the real shit, instead of the usual guns/smoke/bitches-talk.
I especially like this part:

Teenage mothers in Gas stations beggin for spare change
Makes me think that life is only good for one thing (whats that?)
being taken away !!
I watched a 12 year old hold a pistol to his face
cryin sayin "Im sorry God but I just dont see no other way"
in his life he aint never seen his fathers face
and his moms dying in a alley due to a crack overdose today



AND THAT'S why Knoc is the biggest talent on the Westcoast today..
Dre said it the best:
"Get ready to get rich.. REALLY rich."
