A Day In The Life lyrics

(Ray Tyson)

Postal border was makin` me mad

So I get up in my cruiser, broke out of the pad

Rolled to the West Side to check out my boys

Twenty brothers in the park, all bringin` the noise

Stepped out the car, Levi`s saggin`

Gold around my neck with my limb-walk laggin`

Walked up on my boys with the old E chillin`

The box with the big beats and my boys started illin`

A hoop game started so I jump in

Had the hoods` toughest team so I just had to win

Diz to the outside, 2Pac up the center

A ten minute game and we were the winners

The boys started smackin`, talkin` that slack and

till he see my posse and the suckers started backin`

Tried to say we cheat, because he got beat

Another lightweight sucker that can handle defeat

People wonder why I choose to live the hype

It`s not to understand, it`s just a day in the life

Kick it - it`s just a day in the life



(2Pac)

Finally I`m on vacation and school is through

So here I am, on Monday mornin` with nothin` to do

Tried to get outta my bed, but I can`t move

Ya see I`m stuck to my matress like crazy glue

So there I lay, for half the day just thinkin`

Got up to brush my teeth cause my breath started stinkin`

But I was all alone so it wasn`t no thing

Got up to take a shower and heard the phone ring

Picked it up, the salutations, little bit frustrations

Who could be disturbin` me on my vacation?

Speakin` on the phone in an aggravatin` tone

Now I know what Michael meant by leave me alone

So I`m askin` who is it? and the answer shocks me

It was the voice of my homeboy Roc-T

Him and Dizzy had been waitin` for me

Had a show at three and now I`m late as can be

Said I have to take a shower, I`ll go ahead and take it

If I leave within the hour, I still might make it

I`m rollin` in a sweatsuit, wasn`t tryin` to get cute

Hopped on to the stage and said: "Sorry that I kept you"

I started rappin`, girls started clappin`

Couldn`t wait to finish so I could start mackin`

Jumped off stage, picked up the girl for the night

Huh, that`s how I`m livin`, a day in the life, come on

A day in the life



(Ray Tyson)

Stretch white limo hits the colessium

A crowd full of people sayin: "I can`t wait to see him"

Who is in the limo, who are they talkin` about?

Strictly Dope in the house, hear to turn the party out

We get out the car and can barely stand

Cause everywhere I look are screamin` fans

Girls on my tip but I really don`t sweat `em

They`ll tear my new clothes if your bodygurad`ll let `em

Hit backstage with two minutes to spare

Just enough time to grip a breath of fresh air

We hear the introduction, the audience is loud

I stepped out on the stage and then I moved the crowd

Winners all over, we tried to leave the scene

but there`s a whole crowd of people at the limousine

Pen and paper in my face, I couldn`t be mean

So I was signin` autographs at the age of seventeen

People wonder why I choose to live the hype

It`s not hard to understand, it`s just a day in the life

Kick it - it`s a day in the life



Kick it, kick it, kick it



(2Pac)

Coolin` with my posse at the neighborhood disco

Talkin` to a cutie as I`m sippin` on my cisco

Askin` me to dance but I keep on sayin` "No"

Hate to dance fast, I only like to do it slow

Dizzy`s on the dance floor, funky, funky motion

Girl keeps on sweatin` me with sexual kind of totions

Roc is signin` autographs makin` girlies dizzy

Crowd sweatin` Strictly Dope cause we`re gettin` busy

Suckers wanna battle us, we move in silence

Strictly Dope is positive, we`re tryin` to stop the violence

Started feel tipsy, I`m lookin` for the door

The Cisco had me dizzy, I stumbled to the floor

And more I try to sit up, the less I seem to get up

My stomach starts to turn and my head feels wit` up

The room begins to spin, I pass out for the night

Just another way of livin` a day in the life, kick it



(Ray Tyson & 2Pac)

Knew I was a genius, soon as you seen this

Avoid hoe`s value, don`t have to redeem this

Teenage terror, no room for error

A girl start dissin`, and I SCARE HER!!

Risin` like inflation on your favorite station

Rap is my forte and my recreation

Girls wanna kiss me, suckers wanna diss me

My mother didn`t want me to be, but I`ma emcee

The ladies desire, emcees admire

That`s why many hate me and call me liar

Hoods of the hype-tip, girls on the ill-trip

I`m through rockin` this whack, so that`s it

I am the high type, my style is so right

It`s not hard to understand, it`s just a day in the life
