The Roots - Tip the Scale[00:00:00]
Homicide or suicide[00:00:14]
Heads or tails[00:00:16]
Some think life is a living hell[00:00:17]
Some live life just living well[00:00:21]
I live life tryna tip the scale[00:00:24]
My way my way[00:00:27]
My way my way[00:00:34]
Yo I’m always early[00:00:39]
I never take off cause I got a job[00:00:41]
Rob Peter to pay Paul[00:00:44]
Now I realize it’s the winner that takes all[00:00:46]
Do what I gotta do because I can’t take loss[00:00:49]
Picture me living life as if I’m some animal[00:00:52]
That consumes its own dreams like I’m a cannibal[00:00:55]
I won’t accept failure unless it’s mechanical[00:00:59]
But still the alcohol mixed with the botanical[00:01:02]
I guess I be referred to the owners manual full of loaners[00:01:05]
Full of all the homeless throwaways and the stoners[00:01:09]
Soldiers of the streets with 8th grade diplomas[00:01:12]
And the world awaiting their shoulders as a bonus[00:01:16]
Look let he without sin live without sin[00:01:19]
Until then I’ll be doing dirty jobs like swamp men[00:01:22]
Counting the faces of those that might have been[00:01:26]
It’s like living that life but I won’t live that life again[00:01:29]
Homicide or suicide[00:01:33]
Heads or tails[00:01:34]
Some think life is a living hell[00:01:36]
Some live life just living well[00:01:39]
I live life tryna tip the scale[00:01:41]
My way my way[00:01:45]
My way my way[00:01:51]
Lot of n*ggas go to prison[00:01:58]
How many come out Malcolm X [00:01:59]
I know I'm not[00:02:01]
Sh*t can't even talk about the rest[00:02:02]
Famous last words: "You under arrest"[00:02:04]
Will I get popped tonight It's anybody's guess[00:02:07]
I guess a n*gga need to stay cunning[00:02:11]
I guess when the cops comin' need to start runnin'[00:02:14]
I won't make the same mistakes from my last run in[00:02:17]
You either done doing crime now or you done in[00:02:21]
I got a brother on the run and one in[00:02:24]
Wrote me a letter he said when you comin'[00:02:28]
Sh*t man I thought the goal's to stay out[00:02:30]
Back against the wall then shoot your way out[00:02:34]
Gettin' money's a style that never plays out[00:02:37]
'Til you end up boxin' your stash money's paid out[00:02:40]
The scales of justice ain't equally weighed out[00:02:43]
Only two ways out digging tunnels or digging graves out[00:02:46]
Homicide or suicide[00:02:50]
Heads or tails[00:02:51]
Some think life is a living hell[00:02:53]
Some live life just living well[00:02:56]
I live life tryna tip the scale[00:02:59]
My way my way[00:03:03]
My way my way[00:03:09]
