This Can't Be Life - Jay-Z[00:00:00]

Written by：Dwight Grant/Leon Huff/Malik Cox/Kenneth Gamble/Kanye West/Shawn Carter/Brad Jordan[00:00:00]

Geah whassup[00:00:02]

Where's all my street niggaz project niggaz[00:00:05]

Real niggaz worldwide[00:00:10]

Let's reflect e'rybody got a story[00:00:14]

We all ghetto B here's mine[00:00:18]

Geah[00:00:22]

See I was born in sewage born to make bomb music[00:00:23]

Flow tight like I was born Jewish[00:00:27]

Used the streets as a conduit I kept arms[00:00:29]

38 longs inside my mom's Buick[00:00:33]

At any given moment Shawn could lose it be on the news[00:00:35]

Iron cuffs arms through it or stuffed with embalmin' fluid[00:00:38]

Shit I'm going through it mom dukes too[00:00:41]

Tears streaming down her pretty face she got her palms to it[00:00:43]

My life is getting too wild[00:00:47]

I need to bring some sort kinda calm to it[00:00:48]

'Bout to lose it voices screaming[00:00:50]

Don't do it[00:00:51]

It's like '93 '94 'bout the year[00:00:53]

That Big and Mag dropped and Illmatic rocked[00:00:55]

Outta every rag drop and the West had it locked[00:00:57]

Everybody doing 'em I'm still scratchin' on the block[00:01:00]

Like damn I'ma be a failure[00:01:03]

Surrounded by thugs drugs and drug paraphenalia[00:01:05]

Cops courts and their thoughts is to derail us[00:01:09]

Three time felons in shorts with jealous thoughts[00:01:12]

Trying figure where your mail is guesstimate the weight you selling[00:01:15]

So they can send shots straight to your melon wait[00:01:18]

It gets worse baby momma water burst[00:01:21]

Baby came out stillborn still I gotta move on[00:01:23]

Though my heart still torn life gone from her womb[00:01:26]

Don't worry if it was meant to be it'll be soon[00:01:29]

This can't be life this can't be love[00:01:33]

This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us[00:01:38]

This can't be life this can't be love[00:01:44]

This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us[00:01:49]

Chill dog[00:01:54]

Second oldest born from Michelle Brown my mother[00:01:54]

Hell bound grew with two sisters and one brother[00:01:57]

Pop wasn't around so many stories that's another[00:02:00]

I'm thinking damn how my older sister gon' make me tougher[00:02:03]

When steel sharpens steel I'ma keep it real[00:02:06]

I'm tired of trying to hide my pain behind the syrups and pills[00:02:09]

Dead to the world stretched out like a corpse for real[00:02:12]

Y'all niggaz thinking what y'all reading in The Source is real[00:02:15]

What my life like you looking at the source it's real[00:02:18]

What your life like Mine dog of course it's real[00:02:20]

Passing judgment you niggaz second guessing Beans[00:02:23]

Cause you don't eat swine don't make you Amin[00:02:26]

Dog you know a couple suras out the Qur'an[00:02:28]

I guess you all on your din and I ain't on mine[00:02:31]

Stop that Akki 'fore I send shots though your body[00:02:34]

Make 'em feel hell on earth before Allah drop thee[00:02:37]

I feel the line's drawn here nutting more can stop me[00:02:39]

Till them feds pick me up or them boys pop me[00:02:42]

There's only three things that make Mac not act like Beans[00:02:45]

Amatullah Tisha Po Aldin Samir Amin[00:02:48]

My seeds dog gotta teach 'em that before I leave dog[00:02:51]

Shit I know that I'ma see 'em when I leave dog[00:02:54]

I come back in the afterlife[00:02:57]

Like f**k it I done touched hell twice what's the meaning[00:02:59]

This can't be life this can't be love[00:03:03]

This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us[00:03:08]

This can't be life this can't be love[00:03:14]

This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us[00:03:20]

Now as I walk into the studio to do this with Jig'[00:03:25]

I got a phone call from one of my nigs[00:03:28]

Said my homeboy Reek he just lost one of his kids[00:03:30]

And when I heard that I just broke into tears[00:03:33]

And see in the second hand you don't really know how this is[00:03:36]

But when it hits that close to home you feel the pain at the crib[00:03:39]

So I called mine and saddened my wife with the bad news[00:03:42]

Now we both depressed counting our blessings cause Brad's two[00:03:45]

Praying for young souls to laugh atlife through the stars[00:03:48]

Loving your kids just like you was ours[00:03:50]

And I'm hurting for you dog but ain't nobody pain is like yours[00:03:53]

I just know that heaven'll open these doors[00:03:56]

And ain't no bright side to losing life but you can view it like this[00:03:58]

God's got open hands homey he in the midst of good company[00:04:02]

Who loves all and hates not one[00:04:05]

And one day you gon' be wit your son[00:04:07]

I could've rapped about my hard times on this song[00:04:10]

But heaven knows I woulda been wrong[00:04:13]

I wouldn'ta been right it wouldn'ta been love[00:04:15]

It wouldn'ta been life it wouldn'ta been us[00:04:18]

This can't be life[00:04:21]

This can't be life this can't be love[00:04:23]

This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us[00:04:28]

This can't be life this can't be love[00:04:34]

This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us[00:04:39]

This can't be life[00:04:45]
