Chorus:



The greatest thing in this world is life

And life is full of pain struggle and strife

Decisions and moves you make gotta be precise

Step careful son watch how you roll your dice



The greatest thing in this world is life

And life is full of pain struggle and strife

Decisions and moves you make gotta be precise

Thinkin that you the man and you might see ice

and that ain't nice



(it's like that and uh

it's like that and uh)



Verse One: Pharoahe Monch



Never exceeding my recommended dosage

When it comes to licking, selecting, chicken

It's never what it seems when you're picking

Cause you can't tell from the eyes

Especially now they seperate the legs from the wings and thighs

ain't no surprise in it

You get it, with, cellophane wrapped tight over the meat

they be like disguising it

I'm sort of sticking to my old ways (true)

Keeping my order score the chicken dark nowadays

Even believing in retrieving in my own chicks

It's, no need to be rude (shit)

I let the butcher chop it up and key food

And hit her with the keys if she's On Bended Knee like Boyz II Men

I tell her I don't want to catch some vanilla poisoning

I'm poised and when... it's the opportune time

before I stuff my face

Kneel my head over my plate, then I say my grace

Pray up above

Slip on my rubber glove and dine

Polish off the meal and enjoy some wine

Relax recline

Yeah



Chorus



Verse Two: Prince Poetry



Aiyyo most def, you know I love, gettin it on

(but not without the stretch)

Don't need to be making that three letter catch (cool)

Careful who I choose to make ooohs

Better believe me love (we living in the paradise of fools)



Yo Pharoahe (right?) Remember I met Yvette in Dallas, Tex

(That cool queen long blonde chick with mad connects? No quest)

Oh yes, she hooked hooked us to the game cuz strange shit

was going down in town

There was a pretty dear packin pound cakes

a cocoa butter babe with papes jewels a black Ac

and mad niggaz was liking that

Players tricking on that chicken and slippin

and never to go far; cause Shante had the scar

Now everybody knew why motherfuckers started droppin

But nobody knew Shante's ex-husband, was needle poppin

And on the other side of town, medical records was lost

Blood samples was crossed and doctor's mix-ups was found

Yvette said, "The six o'clock news covered the scam"

Three families blew the fuze

It was a psycho doctor at hand and insanity rules

Only two to lay five on that man, and he's singin the blues

He sings the blues, he sings the blues



We're living in the world of frus... tration plus

the lies lust gluttony and mistrust

Situations we discuss about world domination reflect...

...guns money greed and sex it all connects like a puzzle

In the game of life, in the game, in the game of life

In the game, in the game of life



The greatest thing in this world is life

And life is full of pain struggle and strife

Decisions



The greatest thing in this world is life

And life is full of pain struggle and strife

Decisions
