Contribution Lyrics

    [chorus]
    yo, either you a part of the problem
    or part of the solution
    what's your contribution to life
    so many people complain, always talk about change yo
    but what's your contribution to life
    either you with or ain't with it, if it ain't broke don't fix it
    yo what's your contribution to life
    either you give or you take, make moves and you wait yo
    but what's your contribution to life

    (your about to witness three of the most common
    tales of man, woman and human, the difference between the three
    is that there is not difference, just other outcomes
    listen and witness the common tales)

    aye yo my momma and a nigga for life
    love carousel, cuss yell and fight
    seven nights a week, no respect when they speak
    disrespect between the sheets, the ends don't meet
    no rice beans or meat
    my momma was the bread winner plus
    she had to cook his dinner
    my daddy was a full time sinner
    poppa was a stoner stay gone till November
    off of that, gawk?, that made ?emack
    like the devil done took his soul and ain't given it back
    remember that, when you play for the bless
    speedy victory for the poor and the press
    I cant stand the stress, its test and time press
    up against my momma and daddy chest, I try and rest
    with no stretch of the mind, I cant find no piece
    of mind within this family of mine, yo

    she got chips and you don't, that's bottom line
    that's just the way love goes, (hmmm) lets rewind
    you really ain't paid, you clockin minimum wage
    now basically you a slave, your wife studies for days
    no money for much, just movies and such
    the way your two hands clutch, you know its love not lust
    now she's sick of the bus, and using you as a crutch
    and on top of this stuff, she graduates in a month
    damn, her new job got her clocking the dough
    now she's buying new clothes, and taken you to the show
    you feeling like you the ho, not knowing which way to go
    and ultimately you know, you ain't feeling her so
    you need to get up, get out and get something
    your job ain't nothing, all these years you've just been frontin
    thats the way she played ya, the talked in rager went back
    to your days of...[chali 2na voices over marc 7even]

    [chali 2na]
    she always said I'm out husslin for food, kitchen indeed
    while this nigga spend his ends on booze, bitches and weed
    I thought that we'd agree, with two kids to feed
    that you would slow your own, but instead of switchin your seed
    you slapped me, you cant attack me thinkin I'm be happy
    in fact its a packing and we rapidly
    after we witness, no love between parents
    the father type that was once on the sence vanished
    supreme bamish the couples that match these
    producin generations of kids with latched keys
    her daughter learned from momma
    how to reject men, her sons attracts women
    that don't respect men, and then
    one parental provided can be the plan
    but no woman can truly teach a boy to be a man
    that's why I'm always telling these many pals of mine
    the most that you can spend on any child is time

    (look we don't have all the answers, we're victims also
    to the same situations, but man, plans and the lord plans
    and the lord is the best of planners,
    so what's your contribution to life)

    [chorus]
    what's your contribution to life
