lyrics This Is It/ This Is The Chance That You Get/ To Live Your Life Without Any Regrets/ So Live It/ This Is It/ This Is The Way It Begins/ The Way That It Ends/ Man I Aint Losin Chalk Up A Win/ This Is It/ This Is The Way That It Started/ For Dearly Departed/ For Mothers Brothers Sisters And Fathers/ This Is It/ This Is The Pain In My Stomach/ A Hungry Muthafuckin MC is Comin/ And I'm Runnin And I'm Runnin And I'm Runnin And I'm/ With a degree in my hand/ I'm being a man/ tryin to at least be all that I can/ Without joinin the Army/ I'm sorry but it's alarming/ the way we be bombin/ people dodgin bullets while farmin/ Never excusin terrorist threats or collateral deaths/ either way it's innocent people endin up dead/ I was sittin in the hospital where I didn't wanna be/ reflictin on the folks who got "the life" worser than me/ Certainly I'm still young, educated, alive/ what I'm missin most in my life?/ Man it might be some drive,/ determination, motivation, focus man and some goals/ The no-holds-barred approach to fightin trouble I know/ is the way go/ I'm from The 'Go, the city I mean/ I left to start anew, a new slate and this one was clean/ but I'm in the same traps, pitfalls, the same shit/ If I moved back to Chi-city would they say that I quit?/ And if they say that shit, who gives a fuck about what they say?/ It's MY LIFE, that's all I got, that's black and white with no gray/ Some people pray, some people damn, some people ask for a hand/ Some people's life got too much spice while other people's too bland/ This Is It/ This Is The Chance That You Get/ To Live Your Life Without Any Regrets/ So Live It/ This Is It/ This Is The Way It Begins/ The Way That It Ends/ Man I Aint Losin Chalk Up A Win/ This Is It/ This Is The Way That It Started/ For Dearly Departed/ For Mothers Brothers Sisters And Fathers/ This Is It/ This Is The Pain In My Stomach/ A Hungry Muthafuckin MC is Comin/ And I'm Runnin And I'm Runnin And I'm Runnin And I'm/ With a degree in

I’m tryin all these different bars out There’s plenty of em in this neighborhood and if ones any good - I’ll stay there Like day care for people gettin GREY hairs And beer guts No bar nuts A bar with booths and hooks and nooks and crannies No spot that uses jar cups That doesn’t put your card up And don’t look like a start up You know, Nothin fancy Unless it’s broken Nothin frozen The Type of spot where you gotta Buy somethin for the fuckin register open Scratchy mirrors and Squeaky stools Smokey voiced bartender who ain’t tryin to be cool But they are tho- I need that A spot to think at Stare at my drink at And treat my bartender like they are my shrink at - I spend my week up in this bar now I know the owner And the different bar tenders I smoke with other regulars and drink with all the vendors I’m 2 legit 2 quit Can’t nobody tell me shit I’m always runnin at the lips Bout how the presidents unfit We might play jeopardy Or write a movie Draw on a napkin Sittin by the taps is where I make the magic happen I get work at the bar And plus I flirt at the bar I’ve built a whole a career there I’m a drinkin superstar I bring my firsts dates here We go and sit in the back Since I downloaded these apps I don’t know how to act I be inebriated so faded But never show it I’m Drunker than my birthday And ole girl don’t even notice - I’m drunk as shit up in this bar now Talkin loud like an asshole Once I get this cash flow I’ll get it hoppin like a tadpole If I could play the banjo I’d pluck me out a sample Make the Dance floor hazardous People gettin trampled Juke box Lazarus Pix givin ghosts life Jameson Handle this whole fifth in one night But then I can’t plead the fifth I’m spilling my guts I can’t hold it down I’m throwing it up Like I signed with the Roc Or like they passed me the rock Two seconds left on the clock I’m takin the shot Take a walk round the block Throw up - and wash out my mouth Back to the bar- Another round What were we talkin about?
