Da, Da, Da Lyrics

Da, da, da, da 
Da, da, da, da, da 

(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") {sample 
repeated in song} 

Yeah 
It's like rolling in a Bronco pumpin' them pumps 
U know what I'm sayin'? 
On Broadway or somethin', U know what I'm sayin'? 
Yo yo, straight up 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

             Hey yo, call the paddywagon, I've seen a black boy cash 
stackin' 
                 Smirk on my face screamin', "Fuck the Grand Dragon" 
                       4 the fast cash, we be thinkin' 2 slow 
                    Clownin' each others on the damn talk shows 
I don't wanna house but I gotta stick and rob 
I got a disease, it's called "Can't find a job" 
Smokin' on the herbs help me see a little better 
Lookin' 4 a job in this cold ass weather 

Watch out, I'm tryin' 2 get my shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 
Yeah - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 
It's been kinda lonely (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Hey yo, as soon as I come home, I'm stressed by my mama 
Questionin' my whereabouts like I'm the Unabomber 
Question mark, comma, freeze all the drama 
Intensive care flows 4 all U hos smacked with trauma 
As I sit back with my blunt and gin 
Grab a pen, write a song about a million black men 
Tryin' 2 blame all this violence on gangs 
What about those fools who kill 4 nothin' and hijack planes? (Let me 
hear U...) 

Get your shit 2gether (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Yo, I'm goin' 4 the gold like a olympic sprinter 
Fuck the bullshit, steaks 4 dinner this winter 
Yo, I've seen a murder scene that left a fool scarred 
Plus I saw a prisonyard way before a schoolyard 
Time's rough plus time's runnin' out 
My mom said if I trip one more time, I'm gettin' kicked out 
And I ain't tryin' 2 make excuses 
But lookin' 4 a job in the ghetto is fuckin' useless (Let me hear U 
sing) 

Get your shit 2gether, straight up (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 
Yeah, uh - da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) (Let me hear U 
sing) 
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da, da) 
Da, da, da, da (Da, da, da, da, da, da) 

Ask yourself your destination 
What the source of your inspiration be 
And U will find a spirit tryin' 2 get back 2 the mind 
How U was in your mama's belly 
Live and let live was the order of the day 
What U say? 
Loving one another is the only way! 

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da 
If U believe in one thing, if U believe in 2 things (Da, da, da, da, da, 
da, da) 
If U believe in anything then let me hear U sing "Da, da, da, da, da, 
da, da" 
Keep on believin' (Da, da, da, da, da, da) 
Lord 

(Yeah y'all, it's like that y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") 
(Yeah y'all) 
(Come on) 
(Yeah y'all) {x2} 
(It's like "Bet Your Life") 
(Yeah y'all, it's like "Bet Your Life") {x3} 
(Yeah)
