Put some spice back on the shelf
Two steps forward and one step back
Little one, I take your hand
And pull down my hat
Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
Clinging to the rhythm of a lyfe like stride
And watch it go
Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya
It can bring ya to the brink of
It could bring ya to the brink
Of what I learn to keep
And doors that open and shut
Peace, peace in, peace out
Into the seamless hope
There's something greater than I dare to know
Whitewashing down trodden people
Like elevator buttons go on and on
It could bring ya to the brink of lyfe
That's right, what's it all about? Huh?
Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya
(What does it mean?)
And wonder, how I’m gonna help ya be a man
They're displayed like a grand masquerade
It can bring ya to the brink of
Lyfe, it can shake ya, it can make ya
It could bring ya to the brink of
Lyfe, along the way, everyday
(What does it mean?)
Of an endless drive
Making us feel better, that we are brave
It could bring ya to the brink
Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya
Wisdom eluding me, wise guys using me
Like harmony, kindness and trust
Lyfe, it can shake ya, it could make ya
Cover my mouth, choke
But I’m learning to time myself
Along the way, everyday
Lyfe, it will shake ya, it can make ya
And how I’ll help ya understand
It could bring ya to the brink
The struggle, hard and deep
Like letters that fade into dust
It can bring ya to the brink of
Turn it easy over
(What does it mean?)
Without a cause
Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya
Lyfe, it will shake ya, it could make ya
Look at me, pull the thread on this sweater
It can bring ya to the brink of
Lyfe, along the way, everyday
