This Is A Recording For Living In A Fulltime Era (life) Lyrics

(This is a recording) (Life)
POS: Living in everyday is
something
Something everyday like this is our livin'
DOVE: Giving
something sheer for the crowd is our major
Major to the crowd is to hear
what we're givin'
POS: No time to rest we got work in the studio
Studio
suppliers rest at no time
DOVE: Showtime is enough when the Soul is
performing
Performing is the Soul y'all, and it's showtime
POS: Coping
with dates in clubs, can't even lounge,
Lounge with the homeboys how we are
copin'
DOVE: Scoping new material for Paul to plug
high-pitched,
High-pitched what Paul plugs in and still scopin'
POS:
Bearer of peaceful views to express peace,
Peaceful expressions why we are
bearers
DOVE: What the Soul tries to project is when existing in
rap,
You're living in a fulltime era
(This is a recording!)
(This is a
recording) (Life)
POS:
Puttin' in spin the rhyme, rappers fear so
Fear
so much of what Pos is puttin'
Couldn't do better, the punks they don't try
hard
Try hard enough, they don't, so they couldn't
No joke to what I do
inside this field,
This field to me is filed, there's no joke
So soak up
the fact there's no part-time,
Part-time rappers at, so soak
Taking in
new ideals leads to new groups,
New groups to better the Soul, I'm
takin'
Wakin' from days and nights to do my best
DOVE: Your best gets us
paid
POS: So I'll keep on wakin'
Wearer of a Plug logo to the
dying,
Dying are rappers who think I'm no wearer
What I'm trying to say
is when dealing in rap,
You're living in a fulltime era
(This is a
recording!)
(This is a recording) (Life)
DOVE:
Love is to all, to all
goes my love
Dove comes to peace like stand comes to sit
Stand for the
court, 'cause standing is healthy
Healthy in sense is mentally fit
Pause
for the poets of a new style of speak
Just here to do the same with no
trick
Grab the Plug Two's live wire, my brother
And find that you've
grabbed my pet boa constrict
Ring goes the garbage I'm hearing
Seek for
the truth, my brother is tearing
No time to back-step, 'cause if you
back-step
Look what you stepped in, you stepped in mess
So look what's
around you
Don't worry for the Soul will find the truth
About three years
from now, you know why?
'Cause we're living in a fulltime era
(This is a
recording!)
