Artist: Gym Class Heroes Album: For the Kids Song: This Thing Called Life Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash [Travie McCoy] Yo; aiyyo I live by the sun and I'ma die by the sun Can't be livin by the gun, man I never even held one But does that, make me, less of a man? Cause I got a spray can and not a gun in my hand I got full clips of innocence, blaster gas Leave them speechless I'm sketchin pieces while the cats is killin my thesis It's hard to find peace of mind - but when you do, it's hard to keep Ignorance will take you out in your sleep It's just a little hard to swallow, nobody's a leader no more They all follow, they heads as hollow as my man Michael's drum be I know it's hard to believe, the casualties, they catch a disease They quick to try to preach it to my family but somethin's gotta give 'fore I bring my kinds into this world. we gotta rearrange the way we live We gotta rearrange the way we live [Chorus] This thing called life is made of many decisions The choices you make, determine, you and your livin There's a rocketship headed for truth, you better get it You find yourself, a waste of time tryin to fit in This thing called life comes to many conclusions You get one shot; you either, winnin or losin I had to break free, from my, state of confusion But it gave me the strength to see through hate's illusions [Interlude: repeat 2X] It's like that y'all, a-like that and yeah that A like that y'all, a-like that and yeah that A like that y'all, a-like that and yeah that A like that [Travie McCoy] Sometimes I push my mental, way beyond my boundaries and sometimes it's detrimental to my health Nowadays we can't be out for self we got to free one another Kill that racial blindfold so we can see one another Ignorant racist, leavin scar tissue on the faces of beautiful human beings - I see a new light This thing called life creep up from behind like a sign on your back Spark your mind with a rhyme and it's time to react Addicted to this rap shit like +Pookie+ to crack and won't stop writin 'til the mic is like a crack pipe Don't get the wrong idea; this is for the cats usin the third eye vision to try to find why we're here You need to get up, get out, you're goin the wrong rid-doute And I hope it don't take you too long to figure it out I said I hope it don't take you too long [Chorus] [Interlude: repeat 3X] "Now clap your hands and say yeah!" [Travie McCoy: repeat 4X] This is more than just music to us, this is life These cats ain't that amusin to us; we on a another level Pissin on they heads from above; we in the clouds watchin over the kids (watchin over) [Chorus]
