Art Imitates Life Lyrics - Gravitas - Talib Kweli

Let's toast to paid mortgages, lasting marriages 

Tina Farris's pay King to Paris 

Living long, making my kids heirs and heiresses 

The family crest, the legacy, the heritage 

I'm out of Philly where the ecstasy and syrup is 

And we don't need Theraflu, we need therapists 

Them never-ending pursuit of them dead presidents 

Is the reason I got the band back together, bitch 

Yeah, it's me and [???], and his [???] 

North side, bomb squad, Eric Vietnam 

If you don't see it like I see it then you see it wrong 

We October 3rd niggas like me and Kwe' 

Life got me in a state on the interstate 

And all I'm thinking bout is what's up on my dinner plate 

Meanwhile I make your girls hyperventilate 

Prolly cause I live the kind of life art imitate

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

That's my art in your eyes, my life in your hands 

We living next door to the Aquilius again 

Pardon me fam 

But I'mma show you how it is 

I'mma show you how we get in 

Rocking the Guy Fawkes mask like Anonymous 

Passport pimping like I'm going outta town to flip 

The ass for a symbol with the cops hopping out of whips 

Bath salt niggas with the zombies apocalypse 

I'm blessed cause my afterlife is the studio 

This rappers life is gangster's paradise like I'm Coolio 

That's what a few believe like a doobie roll 

We off of that Patrón, we sipping the Don Julio 

You talking shit? we don't need the chatter 

Opinions are like assholes, not everybody fecal matter 

So they straining to push it out, put they foot in their mouth 

That's when I'm letting the Brooklyn out when they pull it out 

Better let it off cause you set it off 

The music that's creating a movement like it's December 4th 

Threw away the dark meat but they ate the white 

Animated like it's kind of darklit it's my wicked life 

It imitate my life 

Photos 

Yeah, y'all keeping it 3hunnid, we keeping it 360 

Coming full circle echelon don emcees with me 

Tired of saying I'm the best, I won't waste another breath 

Heard lyrics coming back, I say it never left 

Y'all just catching up, so slow to come around 

Ice-T gave ya cliff notes, I ain't gotta dumb it down 

Cause I read the book, made the movie and I edit this 

All while I be living it, and set the precedence 

And get the presidents, fuck all the chit chat 

Might hear the click clack, and I'mma diss back 

Married to the game get the rice out Riff Raff 

Nice being self employed, ain't gotta kiss ass 

I ain't gotta slim fast, smack a ho with a love handle 

Dare you to say you ain't a fan boo, roll a bamboo 

Life imitating art imitating life, show you how the fam do
