Live and Learn (12" Remix)
Introducing ladies and gentlemen
(Yoh, Public) kick a little secret
The only G Public
(Joe) the only G Public (brothers and sisters) Public
(Joe) The only G Public Joe Public
(Oh, yeah)
(Yeah) live and learn
Live and learn (yeah)
Live and learn
(Oh, yeah) live and learn
(Oh-oh) live and learn
Live and learn (oh-oh)
Live and learn
Live and learn
Get this one for the public
(Uh-ah, ah-ah, uh)
Go, go, go, go
(Uh-ah, ah-ah, uh)
Brother and sisters
(Uh-ah, ah-ah, uh)
Go, go, go, go
(Uh-ah, ah-ah, uh)
They say it with a live and learn
Th-th-they say it with a live and learn
Tell 'em what it is
Here's a little story about life
Everybody that lives surely dies
A lot of people ask the questions why (why, why, yeah)
Some people have to go through so much more
Before they really learn about life's score
The subject is not to be ignored (oh, yeah, kick it to 'em, Joe)
I don't wanna be the one
To tell you how it's gotta be
Livin' is the only way (ah-ah)
You're ever really gonna see
You've got to live and learn (everybody over there)
You've got to live and learn (go, go)
Before your bridges is burn
You've got to live and learn (go, go)
Ah, yeah
Y'all, check it
Kick this one for the Public
Now break it down (down)
There's so much wrong and negativity
Enough for the whole world to see
I know there's still a possibility
(Ah) you raise a little kid, he turns out bold
It may be from the way you treat him cold
I guess that's how the story's told (tell 'em what it is)
I don't wanna be the one
To tell you how it's gotta be (ah-ah)
Livin' is the only way (ah-ah)
You're ever really gonna see
You've got to live and learn
You've got to live and learn (go, go)
Before your bridges burn (brothers and sisters)
You've got to live and learn (go, go)
You've got to live and learn (check this out)
(I don't wanna be the one)
You've got to live and learn
(To tell you how it's gotta be, go, go)
Before your bridges burn
(Livin' is the only way)
You've got to live and learn
(That you're ever gonna see)
This is from the J, the O, and the E
Word to the up, word to the up
This is from the J, the O, and the E
Word to the up, word to the up
Th-th-this is from the J
This is from the J, the O, and the E
(Large, large) if large is how ya livin'
Why you're livin' large, are you takin' what is given?
To you, in the form of true experience
'Cause if you're not your whole life could be spent
Doin' time for a crime you say you didn't even do
The only fool that you're foolin' is the fool that is you
Didn't even turn around to check and see if your bridge is burnin'
I guess it's true what they say that without livin' there's no learnin' (bitch yeah)
And this is from the J, the O, and the E
Mary, Mary, Mary, it's quite contrary
Yo', how did you earn your dough?
You didn't finish (go) school, you ain't got no job
But to the human eye it's pretty simple
You're always talkin' about what you want is respect
But never thinkin' about the little boy you neglect
Spendin' his formative years in a livin' hell
Not realizin' one day he'd end up in jail
Now on the other hand
There's Dan my man
Who planned a scam and I'll be damned
It was the ultimate flim flam
He was sayin' that it was easy as pie
But little did Dan know he was about to die
You've got to live and learn (ah-ah)
Before your bridges burn (ah-ah)
You've got to live and learn
I don't wanna be the one (ah-ah)
To tell you how it's gotta be (go, go)
Livin' is the only way (ah-ah)
That you're ever really gonna see
You've got to live and learn
(I don't wanna be the one)
You've got to live and learn
(To tell you how it's gotta be, go, go)
Before your bridges burn
(Livin' is the only way, ah-ah)
You've got to live and learn
(That you're ever gonna see, go, go)
You've got to live and learn
(I don't wanna be the one)
You've got to live and learn
(To tell you how it's gotta be, go, go)
Before your bridges burn
(Livin' is the only way)
You've got to live
