Times are rough in this world today
That's why (we!) are here to say
People snatching gold chains, not using their brains
Not only outside but also on the train
But yeah, even got people in this town
Will pick-pocket, sniff cocaine to be down
But then one day they're gonna get caught
That's the only way they gonna be taught
Not really don'tcha see, it's all in their heart
They even rob many people and they think it's smart
So they do it again because they're living in hell
Back, back they go in the same jail cell
It's life!
You got to think twice!
It's life!
You got to think twice!
Cash money is the talk of the town
That's why many people get shot down
Because it's hard being poor so they rob any store
Just to get a little money and much, much more
(It's life!) Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about
Now if the world keep continuin' I might bug out
Can't even leave your doors open like years back
Because you don't know who might come and attack
They might take your jewelry or your TV set
And pawn it in just to see how much they can get
Now if you thought like me you will be alright
Because one thing I do is keep my door tight
It's life!
You got to think twice!
It's life!
You got to think twice!
Girls get pregnant, guys that run away
Listen up very close because it happen everyday
Then you find out it wasn't worth screwing
You say to yourself "Damn, my life is ruined"
Cause times are rough when a baby is born
Especially when you find out that the father is gone
So you use your head and then you take him to court
And sue the young man for some child support
And if go through all of that it was never a care
Because you're the one who's gonna be on welfare
So whatever you do, young ladies think twice
Cause you're the one who's gonna pay the price
It's life!
You got to think twice!
It's life!
You got to think twice!
[Break]
When things go wrong, as they might well
When the roads they [?], seem all downhill
When the funds got low and the debts got high
You wanted to smile but you had to cry
Yeah, so many people has given up
When they could've now had the victory cup
But they learned too late when things came down
How close they came to the victory crown
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver lining in the cloud and that's no doubt
So stick to the battle when your heart is hit
It's when things go wrong you mustn't quit!
It's life!
You got to think twice!
It's life!
You got to think twice!
