  yo, either you a part of the problem
  or part of the solution
  what's your contribution to life
  so many people complain, always talk about change yo
  but what's your contribution to life
  either you with or ain't with it, if it ain't broke don't fix it
  yo what's your contribution to life
  either you give or you take, make moves and you wait yo
  but what's your contribution to life
    (your about to witness three of the most common
  tales of man, woman and human, the difference between the three
  is that there is not difference, just other outcomes
  listen and witness the common tales)
    aye yo my momma and a nigga for life
  love carousel, cuss yell and fight
  seven nights a week, no respect when they speak
  disrespect between the sheets, the ends don't meet
  no rice beans or meat
  my momma was the bread winner plus
  she had to cook his dinner
  my daddy was a full time sinner
  poppa was a stoner stay gone till November
  off of that, gawk?, that made ?emack
  like the devil done took his soul and ain't given it back
  remember that, when you play for the bless
  speedy victory for the poor and the press
  I cant stand the stress, its test and time press
  up against my momma and daddy chest, I try and rest
  with no stretch of the mind, I cant find no piece
  of mind within this family of mine, yo

  she got chips and you don't, that's bottom line
  that's just the way love goes, (hmmm) lets rewind
  you really ain't paid, you clockin minimum wage
  now basically you a slave, your wife studies for days
  no money for much, just movies and such
  the way your two hands clutch, you know its love not lust
  now she's sick of the bus, and using you as a crutch
  and on top of this stuff, she graduates in a month
  damn, her new job got her clocking the dough
  now she's buying new clothes, and taken you to the show
  you feeling like you the ho, not knowing which way to go
  and ultimately you know, you ain't feeling her so
  you need to get up, get out and get something
  your job ain't nothing, all these years you've just been frontin
  thats the way she played ya, the talked in rager went back
  to your days of...[chali 2na voices over marc 7even]

  she always said I'm out husslin for food, kitchen indeed
  while this nigga spend his ends on booze, bitches and weed
  I thought that we'd agree, with two kids to feed
  that you would slow your own, but instead of switchin your seed
  you slapped me, you cant attack me thinkin I'm be happy
  in fact its a packing and we rapidly
  after we witness, no love between parents
  the father type that was once on the sence vanished
  supreme bamish the couples that match these
  producin generations of kids with latched keys
  her daughter learned from momma
  how to reject men, her sons attracts women
  that don't respect men, and then
  one parental provided can be the plan
  but no woman can truly teach a boy to be a man
  that's why I'm always telling these many pals of mine
  the most that you can spend on any child is time
    (look we don't have all the answers, we're victims also
  to the same situations, but man, plans and the lord plans
  and the lord is the best of planners,
  so what's your contribution to life)

  what's your contribution to life
