l.i.f.e. long – “outside”
[emcee(s): l.i.f.e. long]
[producer(s): dysh]
[verse 1: l.i.f.e. long]
we use windows to tell us the weather before
exposing ourselves to mother nature changing temperature
the air seems still, no wind, skies clear
sun ain’t out. waiting for it to appear
looking kind of cloudy. ten percent chance of rain
n-body packed an umbrella, dodged the pain
every day same—just a different climate cross-planes
riding cross-country, peeping scenes on am-
-trak trains. ‘bout to let my eyes explore new terrain
like traveling out-of-state, peeping the landscape while
staying on schedule to meet tour dates. when
you’re cold, the weather’s at its great, yet
seasons turn, mood swings, surroundings relate
to what we go through as we contemplate
sometimes, you got to get away, escape to vibe
if i’m not home, then you could find me outside
[hook: l.i.f.e. long]
out-
-side, feeling the breeze, absorbing the sunshine
like walking through prospect park in summertime. out-
-side, where all you got to do is vibe, let your
soul move free inside while outside. out-

[verse 2: l.i.f.e. long]
out-
-side, my favorite season’s summer, spring, then fall
summertime, new york hit the courts for b-ball
remember after-hours spots shut down behind brawls?
who need museum arts? catch me watching walls
overseas, it’s like ’8-5, keeping graff alive
thinking ‘bout hard times on streets to survive, slinging cds like
krills to pay bills. getting my grind on
no time to chill on the year ‘9-5, when cats
displayed sk!lls. on nights like this, cops
chased us out the ‘ville. hit the lower east, nuyorican
café to build. rock steady anniversary
held uptown. broadway before chelsea piers
used to roll with a crew of my peers. as
a youth outside, running barefoot—no cares—[?]
[?] light bugs lit up the atmosphere. i’d run, trying
to catch ‘em inside jars. now i’m grown, working
[?] constant struggle outside to sur-
-vive, wherever you are
[bridge 1: l.i.f.e. long]
give thanks to jah
i made it alive. every day, work, surprise
and set to survive. outside, [?]
that was petty crimes, going out for yours
going out for mine
[verse 3: l.i.f.e. long]
outside, shady in-
-dividuals, murderers, rapists, common criminals
everybody’s moving by just to get residuals. it’s
a rat race through new york’s maze. avoiding pressures
that’ll leave you stressed and crazed. cats walk with no
feelings in last days. hoods run the streets
thinking that crime pays. no hope to succeed
young soldiers, early graves, unnecessary street violence
catch us on front page, hear the sirens out-
-side. drama’s in the air [?]
[?] but some don’t care. they’d rather end their life
on meaningless cr-p. outside, early 80’s
government introduced us crack. outside, i’m an instant
target ‘cause i’m black. outside, move forth
without ever looking back. outside, my an-
-cestors [?] slaves. outside, still struggling
in the home of the brave
