DOPE
- The Life Lyrics / with translationsIt's getting late and something is waiting in the city tonight
This place is crazy and it makes me wanna f*ck up my mind
I like the lights the trippy lights and all the pornographic stores
I light this thing as they complain about the junkies and the whores
When I was younge I dreamed I'd come here and I guess I did
Surivive the scum and I'd become someone but never did
These village slums I let become my life I guess I did
I'm just a bum pathetic scum thats just the way I live
This is the life
You want the life
NO
It's getting late and guess who's playing in the city tonight
This place is amazing and it makes me wanna f*cking get high
I love the way te buildings sway and all the garbage on the streets
The sounds of trains and sirens make lovely music while I sleep
I'm going farther than I ever thought far could be
By 21 I had a gun and ditched authority
At 22 I never knew the sights I would see
At 24 I made the score that killed that part of me
This is the life
You want the life
NO
This place is crazy and it makes me wanna f*ck up my mind
I like the lights the trippy lights and all the pornographic stores
I light this thing as they complain about the junkies and the whores
When I was younge I dreamed I'd come here and I guess I did
Surivive the scum and I'd become someone but never did
These village slums I let become my life I guess I did
I'm just a bum pathetic scum thats just the way I live
This is the life
You want the life
It's getting late and guess who's playing in the city tonight
This place is amazing and it makes me wanna f*cking get high
I love the way te buildings sway and all the garbage on the streets
The sounds of trains and sirens make lovely music while I sleep
I'm going farther than I ever thought far could be
By 21 I had a gun and ditched authority
At 22 I never knew the sights I would see
At 24 I made the score that killed that part of me
This is the life
You want the life
NO
