"Art Imitates Life" Lyrics
[Intro: Black Thought]
ugh, pardon me, ugh
ugh, know what it is, ugh
yeah, yeah, ugh
[Verse 1: Black Thought]
lets toast to paid mortgages, last to marriages
Tina Ferris’s pay King to Paris
living long my nigga, my kids heirs and heiresses
the family crest, the legacy the heritage
I’m out of Philly with an actress seeing s…
we dont need theraflu, we need therapists
them never endin pursuit of them dead presidents
is the reason I got the band back together bitch
yeah its me spawn and his gene tron
north south bomb squad eric Vietnam
if you dont 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 thinkin bout is whats up on my dinner plate
meanwhile I make your girl hyperventilate
prolly cause I live the kind of life art imitate
[Hook x2: Talib Kweli]
Thats my art in your eyes,
thats my life in your hands
we living next door to the aquilus again
pardon me fam
but I’ma show you how it is
I’ma show you how we get in
[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
welcome to God fourth mass like anonymous
passport pimpin like im going outta town to flip
the ass for symbol with the cops hopping out of whips
bats all niggas with zombies the apocalypse
I’m blessed because my afterlife is the studio
this rappers life is gangster paradise like I’m Coolio
thats what a few believe like a doobie roll
off of that patron we sippin the Don Julio
you talkin shit? we dont need the chatter
opinions are like assholes not everybody finkle matter
still they straining to push it out
put they foot in their mouth
that’s when I’m lettin the Brooklyn out when they pulled it out
better let it off cause you set it off
the music thats creating a movement like its December 4th
threw away the dark meat but they ate the right
animated likes its can of darklit its my wicked life
end up take my life
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Rah Digga]
Yeah, ya’ll keeping it three hunnid
we keepin it 360
coming full circle up solong dom the emcees wit me
tired of saying I’m the best, I wont waste another breathe
heard lyrics coming back, I say it never left
ya’ll just catching up, so strong the come around
Ice-T gave ya cliff notes
I aint 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, fuck all the chit chat
might hear the click clack
and Im gon diss back
married to the game get the rights out Riff Raff
nice being self employed, aint gotta kiss ass
I aint gotta swim fast, smack a hoe with a love am
dare yout to say you aint a fan boo
fuck bamboo, life imitate art
imitating life, show you how the fam do
[Hook]
