Art Imitates Life Lyrics

[Verse 1: Black Thought]

Let's toast to paid mortgages, last to marriages

Tina Ferris's pay King to Paris

Living long, making my kids heirs and heiresses

The family crest, the legacy, the heritage

I'm out of Philly with an actress seeing [?]

And we don't need Theraflu, we need therapists

Them never ending pursuit of them dead presidents

Is the reason I got the band back together bitch

Yeah, it's me and [?], and his [?]

North side, bomb squad, Eric Vietnam

If you don't see it like I see it then you see it wrong

We October 3rd niggas like me and Kwe'

Life got me in a state on the interstate

And all I'm thinking bout is what's up on my dinner plate

Meanwhile I make your girls hyperventilate

Prolly cause I live the kind of life art imitate

[Hook: Talib Kweli]

That's my art in your eyes, my life in your hands

We living next door 'til the [?] again

Pardon me fam

But I'mma show you how it is

I'mma show you how we get in

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]

Welcome to God fourth mass like anonymous

Passport pimping like I'm going outta town to flip

The ass for a symbol with the cops hopping out of whips

Bath salt niggas with the zombies apocalypse

I'm blessed cause my afterlife is the studio

This rappers life is gangster's paradise like I'm Coolio

That's what a few believe like a doobie roll

We off of that Patrón, we sipping the Don Julio

You talking shit? we don't need the chatter

Opinions are like assholes, not everybody fecal matter

So they straining to push it out, put they foot in their mouth

That's when I'm letting the Brooklyn out when they pull it out

Better let it off cause you set it off

The music that's creating a movement like it's December 4th

Threw away the dark meat but they ate the white

Animated like it's kind of darklit it's my wicked life

It imitate my life

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Rah Digga]

Yeah, y'all keeping it 3hunnid, we keeping it 360

Coming full circle up [?] emcees with me

Tired of saying I'm the best, I won't waste another breath

Heard lyrics coming back, I say it never left

Y'all just catching up, so strong the come around

Ice-T gave ya cliff notes, I ain't gotta dumb it down

Cause I read the book, made the movie and I edit this

Aura I be living in, and set the precedence

And get the presidents, f..ck all the chit chat

Might hear the click clack, and I'mma diss back

Married to the game get the rights out Riff Raff

Nice being self employed, ain't gotta kiss ass

I ain't gotta swim fast, smack a ho with a love handle

Dare you to say you ain't a fan boo, roll a bamboo

Life imitating art imitating life, show you how the fam do

[Hook]
