lirik lagu lavaba & e. mallison - a game of life

and everywhere i go and everywhere i turn
the little things that i hear gets me concerned
heard talk about reagan raising tax
said it’ll trickle down but it never gets back
he said you need the money for the nuclear race
spent $23 billion and we’re still out of place
got 17 bombs and we just begun
when it boils down to war, all we need is one
scaring young men with the military draft
they start the trouble but we get in the aft

the world’s getting tough, so confusing at times
and it’s a game called life that’ll make you blow my mind

listen up fellas! this is what i see
people make a lot of money, doesn’t know what it mean
there’s guys up in harlem that the people all know
through some shady deal, got lots of dough
but they live to get high and too d-mn fly
gettin’ paid, gettin’ laid, just gettin’ by
don’t see opportunity in the soda stand
they p-ss it all the way to the cocaine man!
then comes a stranger not from this land
the only difference is he has a plan
he opens up a store and whaddya know
he just bought the apartment building right next door

the world’s getting tough, so confusing at times
and it’s a game called life that’ll make you blow your mind

i need some help, my future plan
not asking for a hand out, just a hand
had 12 years of school and with all i’ve learned
i’m so confused about the way i should turn
computers are the answer, that’s what they say
but everyone i know has chosen this way
took four years of college and what did i find?
was the smartest man on the unemployment line
standing on the corner with nothing to do
‘cept look through the big black, red and blue
it’s not that i want to but i have to survive
and beating the system’s the only way to stay alive
the only thing worse than doing the crime
is when i get caught, have to do the time
so i praise the lord, hasn’t forgotten about me
and i’ll keep on looking until i see

[instrumental break]

aw yeah
hey what’s up scotty, how you doin?
alright man
hi cat
say eric, you remember the old lady lived next to me?
what about her?
did you hear what happened?
what?
man it was terrible…went something like this

the lady right next door got robbed today
they took all her jewels and all of her pay
and somewhat in a terror they took her life
and now here she was, a policeman’s wife
you stand in the alley ’til you turned your back
when they catch you off guard they come and attack
and with each stupid act sets you back 10 years
and when i walk downtown it’s me that they fear
my daddy used to say be proud and look around
but it’s the brothers not the others that’s tearing us down
population growing, kids thinking that they’re knowing
smart to talk about that birth control
first thing we know and now she is showing
and they just found out that the water is cold
one night pleasure for nine months of pain
and one screaming child for the kids to name
hard times came no matter how they fought
but that’s the way it is, about life you’re taught
the world’s getting tough, so confusing at times
and it’s a game (a game!), a game (a game!), a game called life that’ll make you blow my mind
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
