De La Soul Lyrics

Album: 3 Feet High And Rising

This Is A Recording For Living In A Fulltime Era (L.I.F.E.) Lyrics

(This is a recording) (Life) 

POS: Living in everyday is something, 

Something everyday like this is our livin' 

DOVE: Giving something sheer for the crowd is our major, 

Major to the crowd is to hear what we're givin' 

POS: No time to rest, we got work in the studio 

Studio suppliers rest at no time 

DOVE: Showtime is enough when the Soul is performing, 

Performing is the Soul y'all, and it's showtime 

POS: Coping with dates in clubs, can't even lounge, 

Lounge with the homeboys how we are copin' 

DOVE: Scoping new material for Paul to plug high-pitched, 

High-pitched what Paul plugs in and still scopin' 

POS: Bearer of peaceful views to express peace, 

Peaceful expressions why we are bearers 

DOVE: What the Soul tries to project is when existing in rap, 

You're living in a fulltime era 

(This is a recording!) 

(This is a recording) (Life) 

POS: 

Puttin' in spin the rhyme, rappers fear so 

Fear so much of what Pos is puttin' 

Couldn't do better, the punks they don't try hard 

Try hard enough, they don't, so they couldn't 

No joke to what I do inside this field, 

This field to me is filed, there's no joke 

So soak up the fact there's no part-time, 

Part-time rappers at, so soak 

Taking in new ideals leads to new groups, 

New groups to better the Soul, I'm takin' 

Wakin' from days and nights to do my best 

DOVE: Your best gets us paid 

POS: So I'll keep on wakin' 

Wearer of a Plug logo to the dying, 

Dying are rappers who think I'm no wearer 

What I'm trying to say is when dealing in rap, 

You're living in a fulltime era 

(This is a recording!) 

(This is a recording) (Life) 

DOVE: 

Love is to all, to all goes my love 

Dove comes to peace like stand comes to sit 

Stand for the court, 'cause standing is healthy 

Healthy in sense is mentally fit 

Pause for the poets of a new style of speak 

Just here to do the same with no trick 

Grab the Plug Two's live wire, my brother 

And find that you've grabbed my pet boa constrict 

Ring goes the garbage I'm hearing 

Seek for the truth, my brother is tearing 

No time to back-step, 'cause if you back-step 

Look what you stepped in, you stepped in mess 

So look what's around you 

Don't worry for the Soul will find the truth 

About three years from now, you know why? 

'Cause we're living in a fulltime era 

(This is a recording!)
