Salt-N-Pepa Live and Let Die song lyrics

I'm a sister with a grip on her life

I only live once so I gotta get right

The first time 'cause 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
