This is a Recording 4 Living in a Fulltime ERA (L.I.F.E.) Lyrics

[00:03.02] (This is a recording)

[00:14.06] Living in everyday is something
[00:16.35] Something everyday like this is our livin'
[00:18.66] Giving something sheer for the crowd is our major
[00:21.06] Major to the crowd is to hear what we're givin'
[00:23.30] No time to rest, we got work in the studio
[00:25.74] Studio suppliers rest at no time
[00:27.83] Showtime is enough when the Soul is performing
[00:30.06] Performing is the Soul, y'all, and it's showtime
[00:32.64] Coping with dates in clubs, can't even lounge
[00:35.10] Lounge with the homeboys how we are copin'
[00:37.24] Scoping new material for Paul to plug high-pitched
[00:39.48] High-pitched what Paul plugs in and still scopin'
[00:41.98] Bearer of peaceful views to express peace
[00:44.38] Peaceful expressions why we are bearers
[00:46.40] What the Soul tries to project is when existing in rap
[00:49.96] You're living in a fulltime era

[00:51.98] (This is a recording)

[01:00.58] Puttin' in spin the rhyme, rappers fear so
[01:02.90] Fear so much of what Pos is puttin'
[01:05.14] Couldn't do better, the punks they don't try hard
[01:07.52] Try hard enough, they don't, so they couldn't
[01:09.90] No joke to what I do inside this field
[01:12.18] This field to me is foul, there's no joke
[01:14.48] So soak up the fact there's no part-time
[01:16.72] Part-time rappers at, so soak
[01:19.08] Taking in new ideals leads to new groups
[01:21.50] New groups to better the Soul, I'm takin'
[01:23.70] Wakin' from days and nights to do my best
[01:25.68] Your best gets us paid
[01:26.86] So I'll keep on payin'
[01:28.55] Wearer of a Plug logo to the dying
[01:30.78] Dying are rappers who think I'm no wearer
[01:33.10] What I'm trying to say is when dealing in rap
[01:35.76] You're living in a fulltime era

[01:38.37] (This is a recording)

[01:47.10] Love is to all, to all goes my love
[01:49.22] Dove comes to peace like stand comes to sit
[01:51.43] Stand for the court, 'cause standing is healthy
[01:53.86] Healthy in sense is mentally fit
[01:56.14] Pause 'cause the poets of a new style of speak
[01:58.47] Just here to do the same with no trick
[02:00.92] Grab the Plug Two's live wire, my brother
[02:03.00] And find that you've grabbed my pet boa constrict
[02:05.49] Ringo's the garbage I'm hearing
[02:07.58] Seek for the truth, my brother is tearing
[02:10.15] No time to back-step, 'cause if you back-step
[02:12.76] Look what you stepped in, you stepped in mess
[02:14.58] So look what's around you
[02:16.94] Don't worry for the Soul will find the truth (truth)
[02:19.62] About three years from now, you know why?
[02:22.64] 'Cause we're living in a fulltime era
