Live & Let Die — текст песни (Salt `n` Pepa)

I`m a sister with a grip on her life
I only live once so I gotta get right
The first time cuz there won`t be a second
I`m not in the mood to preach about the wrong of the world
It can`t be changed by three girls
On the trio tip, we`re not a proof of that trip
Excuses, that`s the truth when the proof compellin`
I ain`t tellin` or sellin` out to the pop life
I like the spotlight
Gimme a mic and a beat so I can speak words of wisdom
I may be young, feed some, fall down, and filled up, I`m gonna build up
Knowledge is food for thought so let`s eat up
Whatever goes up, comes down, you see nothin` lasts forever
Not even MCs, you, he, she, and even I should live and let live
Or live and let die

Live and let die

You`re wastin` time tryin` to change the mind
Of those who`s souls are full of holes
I do unto others as I wish them to do unto me
Life ain`t nothin` but death without money
My way of thinkin` is one-track
My method of convincin` combat
Success is a mission, it`s there for anyone who wants to do better
You know where I`m comin` from
Survival of the fittest, and I`ll admit it`s vicious
I testify as a witness
Let me say this first for what it`s worth
It`s true that the meek shall inherit the earth
But that don`t mean you gotta be weak or soft
Even on the mic you can`t take no shorts
I only help those who want to help themselves if no one else
As a youngster they taught me to live and let live
And that`s what I always did, word to miz
But there`s a change in the world that I live in
So don`t be surprised if I live and let die

Live and let die
Live and let die

That`s the eighth time that baser almost O.D.`d, man
Live and let die
Yo, Finster, baby, went up for homicide
Live and let die
He`s out there skeezin` with no jimmy hat
Live and let die
K-bone was shortin` the fuzz and got dumped
Live and let die
