Lyrics for Song: Da, Da, Da
Lyrics for Album: Emancipation [1996]
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life")
{sample repeated in song}
Yeah
It's like rolling in a Bronco pumpin' them pumps
You know what I'm sayin'?
On Broadway or somethin', you know what I'm sayin'?
Yo yo, straight up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey yo, call the paddywagon, I've seen a black boy cash stackin'
Smirk on my face screamin', "Fuck the Grand Dragon"
For the fast cash, we be thinkin' too slow
Clownin' each others on the damn talk shows
I don't wanna house but I gotta stick and rob
I got a disease, it's called "Can't find a job"
Smokin' on the herbs help me see a little better
Lookin' for a job in this cold ass weather
Watch out, I'm tryin' to get my shit together (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Yeah - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin')
It's been kinda lonely (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin')
Hey yo, as soon as I come home, I'm stressed by my mama
Questionin' my whereabouts like I'm the Unabomber
Question mark, comma, freeze all the drama
Intensive care flows for all you hos smacked with trauma
As I sit back with my blunt and gin
Grab a pen, write a song about a million black men
Tryin' to blame all this violence on gangs
What about those fools who kill for nothin' and hijack planes?
(Let me hear you...)
Get your shit together (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin')
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
(Gotta keep it goin', gotta keep it goin')
Yo, I'm goin' for the gold like a olympic sprinter
Fuck the bullshit, steaks for dinner this winter
Yo, I've seen a murder scene that left a fool scarred
Plus I saw a prisonyard way before a schoolyard
Time's rough plus time's runnin' out
My mom said if I trip one more time, I'm gettin' kicked out
And I ain't tryin' to make excuses
But lookin' for a job in the ghetto is fuckin' useless (Let me hear you sing)
Get your shit together, straight up (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Yeah, uh - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
(Let me hear you sing)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
Ask yourself your destination
What the source of your inspiration be
And you will find a spirit tryin' to get back to the mind
How you was in your mama's belly
Live and let live was the order of the day
What you say?
Loving one another is the only way!
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
If you believe in one thing, if you believe in two things
(Da, da, da, da, da, da, da)
If you believe in anything then let me hear you sing
"Da, da, da, da, da, da, da"
Keep on believin' (Da, da, da, da, da, da)
Lord
(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life")
(Yeah y'all)
(Come on)
(Yeah y'all) {x2}
(It's like "Bet Your Life")
(Yeah y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") {x3}
(Yeah)
