Life Is a Trip

No where to run, no place to hide,
Gotta hang on tight, gotta take this ride.
Living high, feeling low, doing my best
With no place to go.

Life Is a Trip

Ask that man standing on the hill,
Lost his job, can't pay his bills.
Been there, done that, I ain't got no money
It's time to pass the hat.

Life Is a Trip

See that woman walking the streets,
Wearing skintight jeans and a low cut top.
Jus looking for a man, any man
To stop...stop...stop.

Life Is a Trip

See that girl with the long blond curls,
She had her first baby at the age of twelve.
Now, she's on her own she couldn't wait to be
Grown...grown...grown

Life Is a Trip

That young man couldn't pay his bail,
Without a doubt he's going to jail.
No work to be found so he steals,
Deals and kills...kills...kills.

Life Is a Trip

There's hunger in America,
There's homelessness too.
How did this happen, what can we do?
It could be me, it could be you.

Sill trip, trip, trippin

Trying to live the American dream,
In the same neighborhood, on the same team.
The drug dealer, crack addict, gang banger
And you.

Life Is a Trip

No role models living in the home,
Children having children and they're on their own.
Life in the system is just a game,
Having a baby's daddy is their claim to fame.

Life Is a Trip

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer
You're in the middle but you're fewer and fewer.
Still trying to live the American dream
But, deep within you jus wanna scream.

Life Is a Trip

No one to talk too, no one to understand.
You're doing your best, doing all you can.
Got no place to run, no place to hide
Living is hell, but you don't want to die.

Life Is a Trip

Wake up every morning,
Thank God, you're alive.
At the end of the day,
Thank God you survived.

On and on it goes, another day another dollar
In your footsteps the children will follow
Tomorrows another day, gotta do it again.
Thinking to yourself this time l must win.
