So I found this beat tape I made (my guess is back in '01) in my parents' basement today out in West Hempstead, NY.

I sold one beat on here to Mos Def which was used for his song... Ahhh, just do you homework.

Jay-Z recorded a song to one of the other beats on here as well but I never heard it (still to this day).

"That's Life" lyrics:

[Verse]
Yeah
They told me don’t make a promise you can’t keep
All the drugs in your system you can't sleep
How many times you had to buy Plan B
For a girl you’ll never bring back home to meet your family? Man
Man I swear this what I dream about
Ever since my mom told me that she need me out
Always smoking weed, causing trouble never clean the house
But I paid her back for everything, I guess we even now
Nothing better than some head after a long day
That’s the only thing that ever keep mine on straight
And she asked “why the long face?”
How I spend 350 dollars on this entree
I drown my sorrow in that bottle
Today is full of regret
Find forever in tomorrow
Man up What’s the problem?
Everything is Jazz and I’m Stockton

[Chorus]
Yea
I know it seem a little bit strange sometimes
Yea Yea
Everybody live a little everybody die
Yea Yea
But that’s life
What ya gonna do?
That’s Life
Baby I would spend it all with you

[Verse]
Yea
And I’m headed to the
Other side where the grass is always greener
And yo bitch is down to ride
But the ass is always meaner
See my cash got deeper and my morals disappeared
Never thought i’d be a asshole
This my last show
Can I please get a standing ovation?
100 naked bitches in my dressing room waiting
We lost a lot of blood for this fucked up nation
But me, I’m gettin high making love in that spaceship
So what are the basics?
Tell me yo problems
You losing yo job or even worse you don’t got one
So hard to stay sober when you feeling fucked over so much
Always coming up short
You're like the roach to a blunt, Yea
And I can never sleep at night
Fuck paying bills I need a brand new lease on life
Why does doing wrong always feel so right?
Well I guess fuck it that’s life

[Chorus]
Yea
I know it seem a little bit strange sometimes
Yea Yea
Everybody live a little everybody die
Yea Yea
But that’s life
What ya gonna do?
That’s Life
Baby I would spend it all with you

[Bridge lyrics (Sia)]
Wish I could take all your pain
But when the toxin is fame
The drugs they don't fill the hole 
nah, connections the game
I wish you'd picked up the phone
Knew that I'd be your home 
Knew that you weren't alone 
Knew that you weren't alone

[Chorus (Sia)]
I saw you act a little bit strange sometimes, you'd say
Everybody lives and everybody dies,  one day
Well that's right, watcha gonna do
I wish, you coulda spent it on the truth yeah 

Some days we gonna live some days we gonna die
Some days we gonna live some days we gonna die

I would have carried you
