To my niggaz[00:00:02]
Huh[00:00:03]
We all we got[00:00:05]
Let's hold it down though y'know[00:00:08]
However it's gon' go down[00:00:11]
This what we gotta deal with y'know[00:00:14]
Yo[00:00:17]
It's the life we chose where friends become foes[00:00:18]
And the dough'll get you killed quicker than you know[00:00:21]
This is the life we chose bring fake snakes and h*es[00:00:23]
And the only way out is death or goin broke[00:00:26]
This the life we chose ain't too many happy endings[00:00:28]
That's why there ain't too many happy niggaz in it[00:00:31]
And I'll admit it this life is f**ked up but yo[00:00:33]
Uhh uhh uhh[00:00:39]
Gold bathtubs makin love to my Queen[00:00:41]
Get my back rubbed Chardonnay rollin up green[00:00:44]
Statues marble floors rare paintings on my wall[00:00:46]
My lifestyle's like the Forbes Magazine[00:00:49]
Closets full of rockets and submachines[00:00:51]
Take this nigga out the projects and his thug team[00:00:54]
Yo we cruise past street lights ill rides[00:00:56]
Mr Child both coasts with the most loud toast[00:00:59]
Calicos roast y'all folks keep y'all dyin[00:01:01]
Cause it's hard to f**k around when we dealin with science[00:01:04]
My enemies got money so y'all should watch how I play it[00:01:06]
They never know we enemies until they hear me say it[00:01:09]
'Til they kid's on the phone sayin Please daddy pay it[00:01:11]
'Til they brain's on the floor mixed on the pavement[00:01:14]
High-class elegance you respect or you hiss[00:01:17]
You go against you'd rather piss on an electrical fence[00:01:19]
It's strategic how these niggaz want you to think[00:01:21]
You'd be surprised who'd be the one to put you to sleep[00:01:24]
Why you stink Yo these streets don't allow you to blink[00:01:26]
You get showered by lead comin out with your mink[00:01:29]
Bow ties and tuxedos bust Eagles[00:01:32]
Dump d**gs and acid then they rush with the Rico[00:01:34]
It's hard f**kin with niggaz you hope you can trust[00:01:37]
You a fool if your main b***h is easy to f**k[00:01:39]
And you've got money -is these h*es greedy or what[00:01:42]
S**t is devious ex-friends wantin you stuck[00:01:57]
Uhh what's love when you don't give your man enough dough[00:02:08]
He wanna stick you[00:02:11]
What's love you got beef[00:02:12]
Nobody rollin wit you[00:02:13]
What's love you locked up and your family don't care[00:02:14]
Is love a four-letter word that deceives the air[00:02:17]
What's real when you know your man's girl is a h*e[00:02:19]
And you don't even let him know cause you f**ked her befo'[00:02:22]
What's real when you talk behind a man's back[00:02:25]
Then you see him and give him dap now explain that[00:02:27]
What's trust when they seperate your case[00:02:30]
When you at your court date your co-de' can't look in your face[00:02:32]
What's trust when you keep your wife away from your man[00:02:35]
And he never crossed you but you claimin he's fam'[00:02:37]
What's trust when you get bust your niggaz don't retaliate[00:02:40]
They blaze purple haze with em the next day[00:02:43]
God forbid one of my niggaz get hit I'ma go haywire[00:02:45]
Won't hesitate I'ma spray fire[00:02:48]
But everybody's different you won't know how you react[00:02:50]
'Til you in that position and that's an actual fact[00:02:52]
The hearts of men change as time goes on who's wrong[00:02:55]
You was hungry when you stuck Duke he came back to buck you[00:02:57]
Who's wrong Foul all your life now you 90[00:03:00]
On your deathbed you regret bein grimy[00:03:03]
What's lust a bust nut What's a thug[00:03:05]
A ghetto child raised around d**gs 'til he's old enough to bust slugs[00:03:07]
Then what's jail to rehabilitate or to make a nigga worse[00:03:10]
When he come home to catch another case[00:03:13]
Life's about decisions you choose it you gotta live it[00:03:15]
You did it heaven or hell or prison[00:03:18]
Who knows when your clock'll stop tickin get your weight up[00:03:20]
Save up before it's over neighbor I told ya[00:03:23]
You gettin older player look at those who gave up[00:03:25]
