Quality of Life (Xplicit)

Lyrics

Kwite Def - "Quality of Life" [Emcee(s): Kwite Def (AKA Kamackeris)] [Producer(s): GM Web D (AKA X-Ray Da Mindbenda)] [Sample (Drums): Stanley Clarke - "Slow Dance"] [Verse 1: Kwite Def (AKA Kamackeris)] Yo, what's the Quality of life? I can't call it The things that turn a young shorty into an alcoholic Down the toilet. "Forgive me," what they're saying. Is it Real or a dream? Yo, it's lost all the self-esteem It's the same thing that make a dime piece go out For the blowout, I want to see jack, but The dough out. Yeah, she got a 9 to 5, but She gotta do what she gotta do to survive This shit is live. You know she got a kid Yeah, he got a father, but he up on a bid for some Bullshit, another making shorty buck- -wild. They nail up the king, sacrifice A child. Incarceration only solve problems for The rich. Nowadays, they want to hit the switch They call 'em out for protection and service I see 'em in the streets, yo, the situation's nervous You might find this impossible, but they'll Build up a jail, yet torch another hospital You got to work hard for your slop, but Would you do the same when you finally reach the top? [Interlude 1: Kwite Def (AKA Kamackeris)] And what it is [Hook: Kwite Def (AKA Kamackeris)] It's quality, quality, quality It's quality, quality, quality It's quality, quality, quality It's quality [Interlude 2: Kwite Def (AKA Kamackeris)] Rolling through life [Interlude 3: Sample] Study 'cause the first thing a black must have is respect for himself. Respect his body and his mind, quit taking the white man's poisons into his body, cigarettes, his dope, his liquor, his white woman if he's poor [Interlude 3: Kwite Def (AKA Kamackeris)] That's right, son, and we're all guilty [Verse 2: Kwite Def (AKA Kamackeris)] Times ain't changing, rivers keep flowing You know what I know, yo, you got to get growing Brothers all out for some mass appeal, but The war is on, son, it's all real. Ayyo He used to tap 40's, now he's sipping Cristal Motherfucker, what is this now? "Wipe him off The list now," like my cuz Dave say His quality of life is just the Martin-day slave way And you next in line for rotation Face incarceration or assimilation. Word To mother, emcees get on the mic and just brag about The papes they got, but they can all get bagged Off the rehab, they're toxified. It's dan- -gerous and unlawful where we occupy. I'm for- -tified and run through the tracks with my rebels, getting Higher than the trebles while we bounce through The levels on some "Quality of Life" type Shit. Yeah [Hook: Kwite Def (AKA Kamackeris)] It's quality, quality, quality It's quality, quality, quality It's quality, quality, quality It's quality
