This Ain't Living (Alternate Version) - G. Love & Special Sauce[00:00:01]

This town's so hype it's got soul[00:00:44]

As a Philly cat[00:00:46]

I'm with the roll[00:00:48]

And the swing of my things[00:00:49]

How they work like clockwork[00:00:50]

Tick tock tick tock[00:00:52]

Times always lurking in your head[00:00:54]

Got to go to work and get fed[00:00:56]

That man didn't eat but he goes to sleep[00:00:58]

Gets up at dawn not to see the sunrise[00:01:01]

But because it's too damn cold outside[00:01:04]

Underneath the bridge they pump the city's bilge[00:01:06]

Into the alley they sweep the city's filth[00:01:09]

The flowers wilt the flowers wilt[00:01:11]

Don't tell me about no game[00:01:15]

Cause that is a man[00:01:17]

And his family[00:01:18]

Revolution family[00:01:19]

Look at the family[00:01:21]

Dig the family[00:01:22]

They're living the wrong way[00:01:23]

Can't get nothing[00:01:25]

Don't get nothing all they wanted was[00:01:26]

Something like a job mercy mercy[00:01:29]

But it's robbed mercy mercy[00:01:31]

And there's so many street side[00:01:34]

Beggars and disabled veterans[00:01:36]

Glass-eyed and peddling[00:01:38]

Drunk and just meddling[00:01:40]

So you conclude it's their fault[00:01:41]

They like the street they must like the asphalt[00:01:43]

But that is man woman and children[00:01:45]

The system has stalled shelter's home[00:01:48]

That's not what I call it[00:01:50]

I call it bad health[00:01:52]

Some say help themselves[00:01:53]

Yo if you you gots it[00:01:54]

Everyone hundred people a dollar in change[00:01:57]

Everyone hundred people a dollar in change[00:02:03]

This ain't living[00:02:08]

This ain't living[00:02:11]

This ain't living[00:02:14]

This ain't living[00:02:16]

This ain't living[00:02:18]

You know it's rough had enough for holding a[00:02:41]

Cup full of spare change[00:02:43]

The doctor diagnosed me as a[00:02:44]

Dome full of bad brains[00:02:46]

So toe to toe with employers[00:02:47]

Cause they're telling me no[00:02:49]

Hooked on prescription drugs[00:02:50]

So I stay broke I'd run away[00:02:52]

But you can't run away from[00:02:54]

Yourself or your health so[00:02:56]

I deal with the cards that I'm dealt[00:02:57]

Tweet a leet leet[00:02:58]

This morning bird sounding sweet[00:03:00]

Though I sleep on the streets[00:03:01]

I have a feeling I'm free[00:03:03]

From society's hand picked hypocrisy[00:03:05]

Mercy mercy don't give a damn for me[00:03:07]

Mercy mercy now what am I going to eat[00:03:11]

Peek through the windows of the restaurant[00:03:13]

People eating caviar fifth bucks on lunch[00:03:15]

A hand-me-down meal[00:03:18]

Full of god knows what[00:03:19]

Put it away in my gut[00:03:20]

Quick and then I wonder[00:03:22]

Why I'm sick brick for brick[00:03:24]

I know the city like my hand print[00:03:26]

Just a pit in the gutter[00:03:27]

Of a skid-row ditch[00:03:29]

But I'll survive the pain[00:03:31]

Let me know I'm alive[00:03:32]

But I still feel that I still feel[00:03:34]

This ain't living[00:03:37]

This ain't living[00:03:41]

This ain't living[00:03:44]

This ain't living[00:03:46]

Check my beat dig they rhythm[00:04:22]

Me belly full but me hungry so I fill it[00:04:25]

Once I start gaining taxes start taking[00:04:28]

Cause the governments perfected funk faking[00:04:31]

Breaking me down striking me down[00:04:34]

What goes around comes around but[00:04:37]

I keep rising seeing through the lies and[00:04:38]

The surprise comes when I see myself[00:04:41]

The music I felt[00:04:43]

I'm on[00:04:45]

This ain't living[00:04:46]

This ain't living[00:04:47]

This ain't living[00:04:50]

This ain't living[00:04:51]

This ain't living[00:04:54]

This ain't living[00:04:56]
