Lyfe

Lyfe, it can shake ya, it could make ya It can bring ya to the brink of Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya It could bring ya to the brink But I? m learning to time myself Turn it easy over Put some spice back on the shelf Like elevator buttons go on and on And doors that open and shut Without a cause There's something greater than I dare to know Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater And watch it go (What does it mean?) Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya It can bring ya to the brink of Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya It could bring ya to the brink The struggle, hard and deep Of what I learn to keep Along the way, everyday Little one, I take your hand And wonder, how I? m gonna help ya be a man And how I? ll help ya understand (What does it mean?) Lyfe, it can shake ya, it could make ya It can bring ya to the brink of Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya It could bring ya to the brink of lyfe Two steps forward and one step back Cover my mouth, choke And pull down my hat Into the seamless hope Of an endless drive Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride Whitewashing down trodden people They're displayed like a grand masquerade Making us feel better, that we are brave Like letters that fade into dust Like harmony, kindness and trust Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me Peace, peace in, peace out That's right, what's it all about? Huh? (What does it mean?) Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya It can bring ya to the brink of Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya It could bring ya to the brink of Lyfe, it will shake ya, it can make ya It can bring ya to the brink of Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya It could bring ya to the brink Lyfe, along the way, everyday Lyfe, along the way, everyday (What does it mean?)
