letra de life o'crime - gabe caruso

[verse 1: gabe caruso]

i’m goin for broke and it looks like i got there
i reached out for my chips but it looks like they’re not there
sometimes the more that you stake becomes the more that you’re missin’
and now i can only afford to make poor decisions
i put it all on the line and lost all of my winnings
my ride, my bride, my pride and all my inhibitions
i lost everything but my bills still gotta get paid
and the first of the month is quickly coming my way
so what makes sense to you, taking out a loan?
to pay for my crib, groceries, gas, lights, and phone
or waiting til the dusk comes and donning a mask
and making three times the cash almost three times as fast?
what would you do if you were tossed in these flip flops
sit back and relax and spit raps and just splift off?
maybe you would, and maybe you could
but i gotta find a way to stake a claim in this hood
i’m using brains, game, and pain to make it rain in this hood
and slanging plain jane strains to dames that hang in this hood
i strain each day making payments to the brains in this hood
and change the game by raining amazing refrains in this hood
i never claimed to be good, i’m just spitting what i like
and rippin’ the mic open from mornin til the twilight
i’ve hidden the prime moment in the words of what i write
but this vision is given from within the prison of my life

[hook: gabe caruso]

in this life and time a life of crime is enticing
no jobs on the block so the crime rate is rising
when the city isn’t hiring and things are getting chilly
don’t expect to see guilt just because the judge says guilty
in this life and time a life of crime is enticing
no jobs on the block so the crime rate is rising
we gotta take care of ourselves so let me put it bluntly
if you can’t make your money, then take your money

[verse 2: thogrock]

position we’ve been given is perfect to be livin’ in
coming to grips with the whirlwind that we spinnin’ in
it’s just another minute but every day is strange
keep my head up when i’m fed up with these worldly ways
there’s just too many things i can never forget
wherever i get, i know it’s been one h-ll of a trip
inherited like hair that thins we sticking to what we do
and coming thru with another tune that be flowin’ like a fluid
and you know it’s crew up in it no need to be spellin’ it out
gettin it heard takin’ words out of irrelevant mouths
whatever the weather we ain’t gonna be taken under
like some other mother f-ckers that be hatin’ on their brothers
too many mother’s sons getting murdered by guns
and not a message can prevent nor a word from above
it’s just another dark day in the city of spite
sparkin’ that gauge will never bring it to light

[verse 3: gabe caruso]

being broke as a joke never seems to be funny in fact i’d say that’s when life is most serious
cause john doe when he’s broke, and john doe when he’s got money are two very very different people period
if you’ve never been broke i mean so broke that you’re hungry and you’ve waited on a check til you’re delirious
and the hunger in your stomach turns your state of mind to gutsy and your actions then in turn become mysterious
if you’ve been here then you felt the stress of the monthly bills replace your energy with weariness
and slowly your point of view that sees life as something bubbly will transform until it becomes something furious
then the people who’ve got money from the yuppy to the clumsy well they’re wallets will begin to make you curious
trickle down economics works the same for pickpockets only difference is that our hands get the dirtiest

[verse 4: thogrock]

concrete streets are gonna pave the way
to an early grave with no earn and pay
i swear i heard them say before they turned away
if it works today, then it’s worth the pain
now i’m f-cked up, roughed up, caught up in the gears
of another beast that keeps on claimin’ all of my years
and i’m f-ckin’ tired of brick walls and razor wires
put your trust in the liar and get thrust in the fire
the city’s got a whole ‘nother life of its own
a mechanical brain that makin’ and breakin’ your home
i swear i don’t know where the f-ck we go
but they keep us locked up in this age of stone
the stone age came and it claimed your own
i ain’t afraid to say they’ll never make me go
even if old age is the only face i know
i’ll still face the cold before i embrace the mold
