GZA - Life Is A Movie Lyrics
[RZA]
I got scientist killas that'll jam your cell phone
Send a text message, kill you off with a ringtone
High pitched noise, on your brain, it's heavy
Autopsy report, that he jumped off a train
Then cut into the general's income like state tax
One call, to seal the deal with feel
Doctor on the payroll, cost a quarter mill
[GZA]
The mailman's late with the check
I'm in the flood with a bunch of bills that's about up to my neck
Plus my rent's not paid and the light's about to go off
Car got stolen by a thief who likes to show off
I can't even get a job, giving out flyers
The fridge is theirs, Mother Hubbard's cupboard
I'm so down and out, I can only go upward
[RZA]
I form rhymes in alphabet soups
From the rhythm of the spoon, I transform the loop
From the steam of the bowl, I'm making special effects
Add a dash of spice, only God can detect
Had a word, to make a bear return to his cub
A word that make a girl come home from the club
A word that make a heven return back to God
And the word that help Dorothy get home from Oz
Thirty frames per second, these films we be perfecting
Scenes of light put through all projection
Electricity, perfectivity
Audio and visually, physically and mentally
[GZA]
I got a smile that'll make the mirror crack
And I seem to stay under clouds that's pitch black
So when it rains, it pours, and when it pours, I'm soaked
I contracted lung cancer from third hand smoke
And uh, I'm like the frog that's dying to be a prince
The boy who cried wolf and no one was convinced
The man who hit lotto and lost his ticket
In a rainstorm, and struck by lightning trying to get it
[Hook: Irfane Khan-Acito]
And sometimes I feel like my life's a movie
I don't like to film, I don't like to film
And sometimes I feel like my life's a movie
I don't like to film, I don't like to film
Play it all back, play it all back
[GZA]
Lights, camera, action, let the tape roll
Some scripts get ripped, canned or even sold
Directors vision, producers decision
And raised the budget, because the chase had collisions
Stunt double risks his life just for the thrill
DP checks the gate before the scene gets sealed
Gaffer slapped with a slate for being late
Craft service got nervous and dropped a hundred plates
Leading actor banging an extra in the trailer
Screaming, hitting high notes like Mahalia
Box office hit and a Blockbuster smash
Two hundred mil' budget and still recouped the cash
[Hook]

GZA Life Is A Movie Comments
Still a good song even though it's sampled by Gary Numan. I'm a huge fan of GZA and Gary Numan.
Invincible muzik
For some reason (besides the lyrics as usual) this is one of my favorite songs by him & rza... it's just so different. Like MF Doom different. Jay Z & Nas were making songs like this later in their careers.
The drum track, bass line, chorus and keys are taken from the 1979 Gary Numan song Films. Gary is the master.
this is why wu is 4ver cuz of songs like this straight fire muzik.
$200 bucks on a budget and we still scoop the cash -Gza
I'm a handyman with a pair of broken pliers 👐🏿

Actually, it's sampled from the Gary Numan song "Films" from 1979.
and the song 'Films' is so haunting
Sampled from the P BROTHERS digital b-boy.
