L.i.f.e. Lyrics


Once again standin' here cryin out
Energy gone my insides dyin' out
Wishin' you was dead or somewhere lyin' out
Every time you open ya mouth lies flyin' out
Remember when we first met you wit' ya crew
Me wit' my girls doin' what we usually do
You wit' ya game comin' at me askin' my name
Knew it was love first sight you said it the same
Talked on the phone the whole night vibe feelin' so right
Every step pointin' to love the future so bright
Till this girl in my class told me she was pregnant
And that you was the dad
How she wasn't jealous of me or nothin' I had
How you cheated on her several times and treated her bad
And as she was tellin' me that my whole world collapsed
Feelin' like a fool still in love wit' you
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice

Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
What tricks you gon' play now
Nothin' you could say 'cause everything is clear now
I can see where I made my mistakes
Stayin' home a good girlfriend gimmie a break
I'd be home alone callin' you catchin' the shakes
Every minute till you call back adrealine raced
Left me hangin' on my birthday when I stayed at ya place
You came home the next morning
I just stared in ya face
Knew where you was actin' dumb it tore me apart
Took it out on your things put the key to your car
Felt like you had a knife all this pain in my heart
Deep down though still wishin' we could restart
For a second I was on top swore I had the cream
Rude awakeing nothin' come to sleepers but a dream
It's sinkin' in never really loved me and it seemed
What was I thinking I was only in my teens
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
Nowadays when I see you I don't feel bad
Got a real love in my life you be a real dad
For once in ya life try doin' somethin' right
By now you should be ready to slow it down
'Cause you know what go 'round come back 'round
Even though it hurt to let you go I had to roll
A demon in disguise you was tryna take my soul
Couldn't make a move you was tryna take control
In a way I could only balme myself naive
I made the choice to be wit' you and no one else indeed
A picture in a broken frame upon the shelf indeed
Had to take a lil' time to know myself
Every now and then and then I start to reminisce wantin'
Ya kiss
Even though I know it's dangerous
Every now and then I start to reminisce
For real even though I know it's so dangerous
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life
What a chick gotta do to get some love?
What I gotta do to say enough is enough?
What's the point of bein' wit somebody, that only bring
Ya down
Goin 'round and 'round
Mommy always told me 'bout life Life never plays to be
Nice
Tragedy's all in my life
Love is what destroyed my life, life

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
A native of upstate New York, Sarai may have been weaned on MTV in the 1980s, but by the 1990s she had turned to rap and hip-hop as her life's soundtrack. A fascination with words meant that Sarai wrote poetry from an early age, but it was only when she was a teenager that she first rhymed to a beat while gossiping with her girlfriends.

After a chance meeting with producer L.J. Sutton (a.k.a. Chocolate Starr) in Atlanta, Sarai was on her way to the big leagues. Sarai's potential and sex appeal led to her getting snapped up by Epic Records, making her the first white female rapper to have a major recording contract.

Sarai Howard was born in 1981, and grew up in Kingston, New York, a working-class city in upstate Ulster County. Sarai, along with her older brother Michael, was raised by her mother Teresa in a single-parent household. The family moved repeatedly, and Sarai attended many different local schools and held down dozens of part-time jobs.

Teresa's musical interests included The Police and Fleetwood Mac, and for a while, Sarai's taste in tunes mirrored her mother's. "I'm a straight MTV baby," Sarai later explained.

But it was Sarai's brother, more a fan of genre pioneers Public Enemy, Run-D.M.C. and NWA, who first introduced her to rap and hip-hop. Soon Sarai was into Jay-Z, Tupac and Notorious BIG. Meanwhile, by the time Sarai was in high school, she was acting in plays, singing in the choir, and writing poetry.

When Sarai was 15, she improvised a joke rhyme about some of the other girls in their town while hanging out with her friends. Sarai's rapping continued as a hobby for a few years after that, as she was finishing high school and making plans to attend a community college in Kingston.

At 17, when Sarai and one of her friends were vacationing in Atlanta, Sarai was discovered. Sarai's friend struck up a conversation with some men at a gas station; when they said they worked at a nearby recording studio, Sarai impressed them with her flow, and was taken to meet producer L.J. Sutton, a.k.a. Chocolate Starr.

Before long, Sarai was traveling to Atlanta regularly for meetings and demo recordings.

In 2000, she moved south permanently to chase her dream of being a rapper. After two more years of laying the groundwork, Sarai landed a deal with Epic Records, becoming the first white female rapper to be represented by a major label.

In 2003, Sarai released her debut album, The Original, featuring the singles "Pack Ya Bags" and "Ladies." Radio DJs quickly took to calling her "Feminem," referring to the trailblazing Eminem. "I don't like it," commented Sarai at the time, "but I like him."

Although "Pack Ya Bags" and "Ladies" had some chart success, critics and fans were lukewarm about Sarai's talent. She couldn't quite shake her reputation as a novelty act -- a white girl in an industry dominated by black men.

More recently, Sarai has tried her hand at acting, taking a role in National Lampoon's Pledge This!.
