about

This single was born in the Backyard Entertainment Studios with Tunemaster, aka D-Jones, in Indianapolis, Indiana, later to be revamped. The poetry was written many moons ago, and made its way to a Tunemaster track, where it now lives. Later, Kosta Cross took the vocal stems and produced his dynamic dance version, only to be followed up by a rebooted version written and produced at Whoville Studios in Berkeley, CA in January 2016.

Though this song has finally found its way to your ears, the message is as fresh as every day, Life Ain't A Game.

lyrics

Life Ain’t A Game

Bartender: "Hey, wha'chu' want man?"

Atiim: "Oh, just give me one of those right there, man. An IPA. That's what I'm talking about. You only live once."


In this time that I’m living I’m giving all that I got,
I only live once.
“So do it baby boy, don’t stop”.
To reach the top, I have to persevere through struggles with strife.
Living my life.
Shake and blowing, now I’m rolling out dice.
I take a chance.
Never will I be fool proof.
I have to shatter these glass ceilings and burn the roof.
To test my wings,
I have to take a leap of faith, and understand that I might fall flat on my face.
(Whatever the odds)
As long as I’m doing my best, I stand a better chance at passing my own life’s test.
I invest all my best into my plotted out goals and swim against the current tired, but fired up fa show.
I can’t stop until I’m dead in my grave.
And I refuse to lose or bow down and be a slave.
stop until I’m dead in my grave.
And I refuse to lose or bow down and be a slave.

Chorus:
If anybody wanted to know,
about just how far you need to go....
Go all the way,
cause there might not be another day.
Life Ain't A Game
Life Ain't A Game
Life Ain't A Game

Patna jump off your high horse.
Get the ass off your shoulders and listen here.
No fears! No tears!
You got to get a plan, stand and stare in the face of death.
Even if this means your last breathe.
This test, you invest your best energy and time, don’t stress.
Everything’s for a reason, all the reasons serve a bigger flick.
For the benefit of a goal, in the night time when there’s no…
Sunshine on mine, 5N’Dime, Outsidahz, I’m a ridah.
In God I trust flap until I fly.
Dust to dust.
Do or die trying.
Aspiring to live high.
I just don’t mean smoking dosha and trying to get by,
But find a recipe and bake your own pie;
Take your own time.
The ground is really the sky.
Hurricane, when they touch we doin it live.
Survive through the everyday fight,
Now I hold on tight.
I would love to see the sunlight in my lifetime.

Chorus:
If anybody wanted to know,
about just how far you need to go....
Go all the way,
cause there might not be another day.
Life Ain't A Game
Life Ain't A Game
Life Ain't A Game

While I’m running in this rat race some call life,
I think about the many problems.
Am I doing it right?
I can’t stop to worry, I hurry up and pray.
I do unto others how I want to get done today.
I pace myself, and focus on the goals I set, and tune everything irrelevant out to get…
Closer to my destinations under pressure I chose, to never, no matter the weather, give it up and lose.
I set a pace in the face of despairs.
Say a prayer and leave it alone.
And get gone if I’m right or I’m wrong.
I keep doing till my wheels fall off.
And I got to be about my plotted out plans;
And comprehend that I’m only a man.
Then I stand!
“But how do you do what you do in a day?”
I don’t bullshit and I ain’t got time to play; shoot the breeze; call a heez; or romance the pain.
It’s plain and simple baby-boy,
Life ain’t a game!

You can do it how you want to.
Go'head do it how you need to.
