Yeaint Bout That Life Lyrics from Bless Da Flow LP
Chorus:
Yeaint bout that life: repeat/
Yeaint bout it, yeaint trying to be about that life/
Yeaint tryin to be about that when ya soul fly/
Hardbody, but that judgment make that soul cry/
Yeaint bout that life: repeat/
Yeaint bout it, I aint trying to be about that life/
I aint tryin to be about that when my soul fly/
Hardbody, but that judgment make that soul cry/
Verse1:
Maserati's/
Jars of chronic/
lodi dodi/
like to party/
caught a body/
caught him in the lobby/
of course his gun with polished/
two in his knogen his body went flying'/
its rocks in his pocket, rocks in his socks, and its rocks on his wrist/
its a chick on his arm, its a chick in the car, and the chick at the crib/
he's thinking he harmless, probably because of the vest/
but its another dimension of war for ya soul, so be warned before you lose your breath/
these made man keep thinking that they untouchable/
just cause they survived the gunfire from a slug or two/
but it's going to be bad business when that shovel crew/
dumps you in the box because the Father's had enough of you/
you don't want to see His mercy fade/
they life seem good, right now aint no cloudy days/
but people good and bad are blessed by his precious rain/
I'm just saying, seek His face/
before he gives you a real reason to curse His name/
Verse 2:
They life look flashy, the camera's flashing, media watching em/
they hood rich, good looking chicks be all up on them/
they got 99 problems/
y'all jealous of all 'em/
all they care about is ballin'/
they whole agenda's fallen/
yeah the riches of the life look good/
but they are not efficient, they are gone burn like wood/
and everybody want to keep it hood, keep a burner on they waist, like I wish you would/
the truth is if all you want is power and dollars/
if that's all your life is about then/
your life is mighty godless/
its time that we find that righteous, timeless, prudent King/
I stay on my Shalom, that Martin, Calvin, Luther, King/
they taunt n stunt, n flaunt they stuff they man that's so childish cuz/
Yeaint bout it, I'm like alright so now what/
what's the point of being "bout it" while I'm living/
when everything that's in it is rooted by greed and sinnin' huh/
the truth is that you can't chase God and money/
and if you love one, then you gone hate the other buddy/
Bridge:
I know they life look good yeah/
Ya want it, ya want it, ya think ya should/ :repeat
But just cause that thing shine, that don't make it gold/
Yeah yeah them things might shine, but that don't make em gold/
And everything thats gold, aint gone bring ya shine/
Naw i aint bout no gold, cause that don't bring no shine
