Life Jacket - DJ Quik

Woe is me

I can’t get my bread up when it’s so easy

I can’t keep my head above the stormy seas

All I need, someone to look out for me

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Ain’t it so sweet, how I emerge

Making richy glitzy bourgeois people

Come party with us, kick it and splurge

So I’ma and keep me a life jacket on

Take the bitter with the sweet

And keep my hookers in the street

And keep oh yeah

I’m on my way up to glory with this one this time dammit

Because I heard there’s more there

This can only be done by us

Now beg this pardon for me

Turn it up one good time and get the money

Oh my God, I’m Quik like

Nah, the broads

Bitch, the shit I told you not to do today applies for every day, ho

Get it straight

Shit, did you fuck me?

You mean, you stayed home, bitch

Because your dog had puppies?

Yeah, after I get off ho, take that Long Beach out, then sunset

Come back home and get my neck wet

Woe is me

I can’t get my bread up when it’s so easy

I can’t keep my head above the stormy seas

All I need, someone to look out for me

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Toss me…(A life jacket)

I’m in a Chevy with the top dropped

I parked both Benzes, but neither’s in the shop

I’m on my third Rolex, but show me what’s next

And I’ll bet I’ll do get it, do it, done it — dag gum it, I’m a mess

And when I play this guitar, it’s goin' make my dick hard

Something like the Scarecrow, Michael Jackson, fuck the Wizard

I should have gone Gilliard, bipolar is Julliard

Either extreme, I’ll kill you motherfuckers on the schoolyard

Checks off, inbound — watch the Quiksta get down

I hate a hacker — hacky players need to go back, sit down

'Cause if you ain’t with the now, that makes you way back when

And you can keep all of that retro-dated action

Now get up on my time zone, quit workin' with limestones

Switch that shit for marble and granite

Produced Whitney and Janet

Oh.

you can’t — nobody else on this planet

It’s just me, I’m a plant

And I’m so dope, you can’t handle it

I’m rhymin', you ramblin'

I rhyme and you ramblin'

Woe is me

I can’t get my bread up when it’s so easy

I can’t keep my head above the stormy seas

All I need, someone to look out for me

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Toss me…(A life jacket)

Yeah, tryna burn somethin'

Buy a lot of books these days, tryna learn somethin'

Cars that ain’t got no miles, tou know my style

See me and be like 'wow', she so aroused

Had to let the windows down, you know the crown

The all black White Sox hat, it’s goin' down

Take a nigga shoppin' or somethin', don’t be frontin'

Told everybody we datin', no we wasn’t

We was just havin' some fun, then you tripped

Talkin' that relationship shit, then I dipped

Went to the studio, quick, Got with Quik

Told him 'let me get a 16', made a hit

The O.P.M.

money, legit, I keep countin'

Last week I made ten records off three ounces

I’ma need a house with a view and like three fountains

Just a little something for my niggas to keep bouncin'

Uh, 'cause we don’t dance much

I still sag and pull my pants up

Aye, y’all should start doin' stand up

You sold records, pull them scans up

Aye, said my niggas pull them vans up

Aye, now you niggas understand us

Yeah, DJ Quik hooked the jam up

Sound like he hooked the band up

Suga Free, I’m a fan, bruh

Aye, damn, this finna fuck the land up

Uh — 'cause it’ll never stop

Your style is like lemonade, it’ll never pop

Every time you on TV, I don’t never watch

I’m the one who created the game, I can never flop

Rest in Peace to Etta James, she’s in a better spot

This summer I’m making fur and wearing leather hot

Yeah, DJ Quik, you’re the greatest
