Da, da, da, da
  Da, da, da, da, da
    (Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") {sample
  repeated in song}
    Yeah
  It's like rolling in a Bronco pumpin' them pumps
  U know what I'm sayin'?
  On Broadway or somethin', U know what I'm sayin'?
  Yo yo, straight up
  Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Hey yo, call the paddywagon, I've seen a black boy cash
  stackin'
  Smirk on my face screamin', "Fuck the Grand Dragon"
  4 the fast cash, we be thinkin' 2 slow
  Clownin' each others on the damn talk shows
  I don't wanna house but I gotta stick and rob
  I got a disease, it's called "Can't find a job"
  Smokin' on the herbs help me see a little better
  Lookin' 4 a job in this cold ass weather
    Watch out, I'm tryin' 2 get my shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
  Yeah - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
  It's been kinda lonely (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
  Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
    Hey yo, as soon as I come home, I'm stressed by my mama
  Questionin' my whereabouts like I'm the Unabomber
  Question mark, comma, freeze all the drama
  Intensive care flows 4 all U hos smacked with trauma
  As I sit back with my blunt and gin
  Grab a pen, write a song about a million black men
  Tryin' 2 blame all this violence on gangs
  What about those fools who kill 4 nothin' and hijack planes? (Let me
  hear U...)
    Get your shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
  Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
  Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
  Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
    Yo, I'm goin' 4 the gold like a olympic sprinter
  Fuck the bullshit, steaks 4 dinner this winter
  Yo, I've seen a murder scene that left a fool scarred
  Plus I saw a prisonyard way before a schoolyard
  Time's rough plus time's runnin' out
  My mom said if I trip one more time, I'm gettin' kicked out
  And I ain't tryin' 2 make excuses
  But lookin' 4 a job in the ghetto is fuckin' useless (Let me hear U
  sing)
    Get your shit 2gether, straight up (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
  Yeah, uh - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) (Let me hear U
  sing)
  Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
  Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
    Ask yourself your destination
  What the source of your inspiration be
  And U will find a spirit tryin' 2 get back 2 the mind
  How U was in your mama's belly
  Live and let live was the order of the day
  What U say?
  Loving one another is the only way!
    Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
  If U believe in one thing, if U believe in 2 things (Da, da, da, da, da,
  da, da)
  If U believe in anything then let me hear U sing "Da, da, da, da, da,
  da, da"
  Keep on believin' (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
  Lord
    (Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life")
  (Yeah y'all)
  (Come on)
  (Yeah y'all) {x2}
  (It's like "Bet Your Life")
  (Yeah y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") {x3}
  (Yeah)
