A cold bus drivin', a wack homie jivin'
The possie is groovin', and my rhymes are thrivin'
The funk's so dope and I'm sittin high chair
Salty freak boy with the bottle of nair
He's holdin' high and we're all so fly
I stopped at cosmos to col' get a french fry
The salty dog taste penetrated my pallate
I hammered the sucker's face with my little red mallot
Tree of life
It gives us shade
Tree of life
We've got it made
Tree of life
I'd better run fast
Tree of life
I'm late for class
We're coolin' on the street drinkin' minute made
Jer's on the job, he's waiting to get paid
Cap muflo just rhymin, dope with the air
Cheatin' in Monopoly, the game's unfair
Tree of life, like a big snowfall
Just like the SWKT but not as tall
Sittin in its shade col' grubbin the hut
Rupe's eatin too much, he's gettin a gut
I look at the time, it's ten past two
So I'm late again, it's nothin' new
Strut in smooth and everyone's starin
I don't notice nothin' 'cause my walkman is blarin'
