This Ain't Living (这不是生活) - G. Love & Special Sauce (基爱 & 加料乐团)[00:00:00]
This town's so hype it's got soul[00:00:45]
As a philly cat[00:00:47]
I'm with the roll[00:00:49]
And the swing of my things[00:00:50]
How they work like clockwork[00:00:52]
Tick tock tick tock[00:00:53]
Times always lurking in your head[00:00:55]
Got to go to work and get fed[00:00:57]
That man didn't eat but he goes to sleep[00:00:59]
Gets up at dawn not to see the sunrise[00:01:02]
But because it's too damn cold outside[00:01:04]
Underneath the bridge they pump the city's bilge[00:01:07]
Into the alley they sweep the city's filth[00:01:10]
The flowers wilt the flowers wilt[00:01:13]
Don't tell me about no game[00:01:16]
Cause that is a man[00:01:18]
And his family[00:01:19]
Revolution family[00:01:20]
Look at the family[00:01:22]
Dig the family[00:01:23]
They're living the wrong way[00:01:25]
Can't get nothing[00:01:26]
Don't get nothing all they wanted was[00:01:28]
Something like a job - mercy mercy[00:01:30]
But it's been robbed - mercy mercy[00:01:32]
And there's so many street side[00:01:35]
Beggars and disabled veterans[00:01:37]
Glass-eyed and peddling[00:01:39]
Drunk and just meddling[00:01:41]
So you conclude it's their fault[00:01:43]
They like the street they must like the asphalt[00:01:44]
But that is man woman and children[00:01:47]
The system has stalled shelter's home[00:01:49]
That's not what I call it[00:01:51]
I call it bad health[00:01:53]
Some say help themselves[00:01:54]
Yo if you you gots it[00:01:56]
Every hundred people that's a dollar in change[00:01:58]
Every hundred people that's a dollar in change[00:02:04]
This ain't living[00:02:09]
This ain't living[00:02:12]
Oh no[00:02:47]
You know it's rough, had enough of holding a[00:02:48]
Cup full of spare change[00:02:50]
The doctor diagnosed me as a[00:02:51]
Dome full of bad brains[00:02:52]
So, toe to toe with employers[00:02:53]
Cause they're telling me no[00:02:55]
Hooked on prescription drugs[00:02:57]
So I stay broke, I'd run away[00:02:58]
But you can't run away from[00:03:00]
Yourself or your health so[00:03:02]
I deal with the cards that I'm dealt[00:03:03]
Tweet-a-leet-leet[00:03:05]
The morning bird sounding sweet[00:03:06]
Though I sleep on the streets[00:03:08]
I have a feeling I'm free[00:03:10]
From society's hand picked hypocrisy[00:03:11]
Mercy mercy, don't give a damn for me[00:03:14]
Mercy mercy, now what am I going to eat[00:03:17]
Peek through the windows of the restaurant[00:03:20]
People eating caviar fifty bucks on lunch[00:03:22]
A hand-me-down meal[00:03:24]
Full of God knows what[00:03:26]
Put it away in my gut[00:03:27]
Quick and then I wonder[00:03:29]
Why I'm sick, brick for brick[00:03:30]
I know the city like my hand print[00:03:32]
Just a pit in the gutter[00:03:34]
Of a skid-row ditch[00:03:36]
But I'll survive the pain[00:03:37]
Lets me know I'm alive[00:03:38]
But I still feel that[00:03:40]
This ain't living[00:03:44]
Check my beat dig my rhythm[00:04:34]
Me belly full but me hungry so me fill it[00:04:37]
Once I start gaining taxes start taking[00:04:39]
Cause the governments perfected funk faking[00:04:42]
Breaking me down striking me down[00:04:45]
What goes around comes around but[00:04:48]
I keep rising seeing through the lies and[00:04:50]
The surprise comes when I see myself[00:04:52]
The music I felt[00:04:55]
I'm on[00:04:56]
This ain't living[00:04:57]
This ain't living[00:04:59]
Oh no This ain't living This ain't living Oh no[00:05:02]
