Lyrics

[00:00.00] The Roots - Tip the Scale(feat. Dice Raw)
[00:00.15]
[00:14.73] Homicide or suicide
[00:16.58] Heads or tails
[00:18.34] Some think life is a living hell
[00:21.45] Some live life just living well
[00:24.43] I live life tryna tip the scale
[00:27.52] My way, my way
[00:34.09] My way, my way
[00:38.38]
[00:40.03] Yo, I’m always early
[00:41.75] I never take off cause I got a job
[00:44.83] Rob Peter to pay Paul
[00:46.55] Now I realize it’s the winner that takes all
[00:49.65] Do what I gotta do because I can’t take loss
[00:53.00] Picture me living life as if I’m some animal
[00:56.11] That consumes its own dreams like I’m a cannibal
[00:59.35] I won’t accept failure unless it’s mechanical
[01:02.62] But still the alcohol mixed with the botanical
[01:05.79] I guess I be referred to the owners manual full of loaners
[01:10.31] Full of all the homeless throwaways and the stoners
[01:13.29] Soldiers of the streets with 8th grade diplomas
[01:16.69] And the world awaiting their shoulders as a bonus
[01:19.62] Look, let he without sin live without sin
[01:21.82] Until then, I’ll be doing dirty jobs like swamp men
[01:27.04] Counting the faces of those that might have been
[01:30.37] It’s like living that life but I won’t live that life again
[01:32.60]
[01:33.21] Homicide or suicide
[01:34.58] Heads or tails
[01:36.31] Some think life is a living hell
[01:39.05] Some live life just living well
[01:42.08] I live life tryna tip the scale
[01:45.30] My way, my way
[01:51.67] My way, my way
[01:56.84]
[01:58.16] Lot of n*ggas go to prison
[02:00.05] How many come out Malcolm X?
[02:01.74] I know I'm not
[02:03.25] Sh*t, can't even talk about the rest
[02:05.07] Famous last words: "You under arrest"
[02:08.18] Will I get popped tonight? It's anybody's guess
[02:11.99] I guess a n*gga need to stay cunning
[02:14.37] I guess when the cops comin' need to start runnin'
[02:17.48] I won't make the same mistakes from my last run in
[02:21.21] You either done doing crime now or you done in
[02:24.87] I got a brother on the run and one in
[02:28.31] Wrote me a letter, he said when you comin'
[02:31.19] Sh*t man, I thought the goal's to stay out
[02:34.23] Back against the wall, then shoot your way out
[02:37.48] Gettin' money's a style that never plays out
[02:40.50] 'Til you end up boxin' your stash, money's paid out
[02:43.83] The scales of justice ain't equally weighed out
[02:46.81] Only two ways out, digging tunnels or digging graves out
[02:50.45]
[02:50.98] Homicide or suicide
[02:52.38] Heads or tails
[02:53.73] Some think life is a living hell
[02:56.89] Some live life just living well
[03:00.08] I live life tryna tip the scale
[03:03.31] My way, my way
[03:09.73] My way, my way
[03:20.91]
