Ups & Downs (AOL Sessions) Songtext
von Snoop Dogg

You know, sometimes in life
You have to go through some ups and go through some downs
I learned that from my grandfather
And I just wanna say right now that
In life, I′m goin' through some ups and some downs
And I appreciate those who are prayin′ for me through my hard times
And when you go through your ups and downs
I want you to play this record right here (yeah)
It go like this, oh-oh

There will be (yeah) ups and downs, smiles and frowns
Share with me, fairy tales are make-believe
There will be ups and downs, smiles and frowns
Share with me, fairy tales are make-believe
There will be ups and downs, smiles and frowns
Share with me, fairy tales are make-believe


What up, motherfuckers? This is Snoop Dogg
I'm tryin' to figure out how the fuck I′ma do y′all
I'm hangin′ with my homie from the turf, that's young Q-Ball
Givin′ me the word on the streets, here's the scoop, y′all
Peep the niggas from Tha Eastsidaz are split up (they split up)
And one of 'em tried to fuck your shit up (fuck your shit up)
Nah, cuh, don't believe that (don′t believe that), that′s my nigga for life
I'm out with the bullshit (shit), I′m in with the real shit
I'm at the church doing work, spittin′ game from the pulpit
Now that's the business, and God as my witness
LBC, 213, hell yeah, we in this
It′s so relentless (it's so relentless) and all my dogs up against the life sentence (ah, ah)
I love y'all like I love no bitch and that′s real shit
But on some Crip shit, my nigga, dig this, this (c′mon)

There will be ups and downs, smiles and frowns
Share with me, fairy tales are make-believe
There will be (yeah, yeah) ups and downs, smiles and frowns
Share with me, fairy tales are make-believe


I used to have a lot of broads that I don't fool with
I used to have a lot of homeboys I ain′t cool with
A lot of people that a nigga went to school with
They happy as hell to see the big dog doin' it
But wouldn′t none of them believe it though (believe it though)
That I would be bigger than Kurtis Blow (Kurtis Blow)
I guess he was right, these are the breaks (breaks)
Despite my mistakes and aches, I'm getting cake
Just to realize your fate through faith (fate through faith)
See ′cause we all gon' get that day (go get that day)
Just to see if our life was straight
And see if we'll be able to walk through the pearly gates (yeah, yeah-yeah)
Just to see the man upstairs
On some real talk, loco, I′m tired of bein′ stuck here
Now, if I could, I would just fly to the moon
Y'all probably think I′m trippin' off these mushrooms, I know

There will be ups and downs, smiles and frowns
Share with me, fairy tales are make-believe
There will be ups and downs, smiles and frowns
Share with me, fairy tales are make-believe
There will be (there will be) ups and downs, smiles and frowns
Share with me (Share with me), fairy tales are make-believe
There will be (be) ups and downs, smiles and frowns
Share with me (yeah), fairy tales are make-believe (lemme talk to ′em real quick)

You know, sometimes in life
You do have to go through some ups and downs
You know, I'ma sit and talk to my grandfather one time
And he always would tell me
(He said) He said, "Sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad
You got to take the bad with the good
In order to do good, you got to do bad"
And I never understood what he was sayin′
But now, as I go through my hood in my bed, I understand what he was sayin'
Errything is errything
