That's How I'm Livin' (Edit) - Ice T[00:00:01]

I was born in new jersey I said it before[00:00:09]

But I guess nobody heard me[00:00:12]

My mother died young[00:00:14]

No sistas or brothas I was the only son[00:00:16]

When I was twelve my pops died too[00:00:19]

What a brotha was supposed to do[00:00:21]

They sent me out West[00:00:23]

To live with my aunt[00:00:25]

I guess they though it was the best[00:00:27]

But there was no love there[00:00:29]

Growin' with no moms[00:00:30]

I guess I was prepared to live in a vacuum[00:00:31]

The bedroom the kitchen the hall and the bathroom[00:00:35]

I didn't leave home much didn't like L A[00:00:37]

Didn't have no friends to trust[00:00:41]

Got busted to a school[00:00:42]

Blacks and whites I guess the shit was cool[00:00:44]

But in highschool I changed[00:00:47]

Didn't wanna bust didn't wanna play the game[00:00:48]

I walked to Crenshaw high shit was fly[00:00:51]

I hooked up with new cru[00:00:56]

Some brothas that knew what the f**k to do[00:00:58]

You might call it gang but we called it a set[00:01:01]

And it was our own thang[00:01:04]

The whole school was down[00:01:06]

And one way or another everybody f**ked around[00:01:07]

When the hardcore or not[00:01:10]

You wore the right color or your ass got shot[00:01:11]

That's how I'm livin'[00:01:15]

That's how I'm livin'[00:01:19]

I did three years in and made close friends[00:01:24]

Havin' no love my homies came my only[00:01:27]

I was glad: a family I never had[00:01:31]

But I grew up fast got a girl on 10th grade pregnant[00:01:33]

Needin' cash I had to change my style[00:01:37]

Switched from bangin' to hustlin'[00:01:39]

No more goin' buckwild[00:01:41]

Had to get a cashflow[00:01:43]

But my hustle was weak it was a no go[00:01:44]

I join the army four years in that shit[00:01:47]

Be all f**ked you can be[00:01:50]

Came back to the hood[00:01:52]

My homies had done good[00:01:53]

Had elevated their game[00:01:56]

About 100 gees a lick no mothaf**kin' shame[00:01:58]

Passed for the jewels[00:02:01]

Baby sledgehammers with the tools[00:02:03]

I speak on this with a hesitation[00:02:06]

Even though it passed the statue of limitation[00:02:07]

That's how I'm livin'[00:02:15]

That's how I'm livin'[00:02:19]

That's how I'm livin'[00:02:24]

I checked the bank[00:02:29]

Bought a porsche and gear earn high streetrank[00:02:31]

But as I grew my whole crew fell thru[00:02:32]

Cops had us on the books as innerstate crooks[00:02:38]

Murder robbery rape escape the whole damn nine[00:02:42]

You robbed a nigga blind[00:02:46]

I had too much juice I cut my boosters loose[00:02:47]

I was intread with the pimpgame[00:02:52]

Took on the ice-name[00:02:55]

But the pimpgame moved too slow[00:02:57]

Especially for a nigga who was hooked on quick dough[00:02:58]

In one nite late I was in a carwreck[00:03:02]

And I was lucky to escape[00:03:04]

Hospital for teen weeks in bed almost dead[00:03:06]

And when I got well I got caught in a cross[00:03:11]

And got locked in a jailcell[00:03:13]

That's how I'm livin'[00:03:15]

That's how I'm livin'[00:03:20]

They cut me loose[00:03:25]

And I had to change troops[00:03:27]

This time they didn't catch me[00:03:29]

Next time they'll strecth me[00:03:32]

Cause my time was gettin' short[00:03:34]

All my homies was in court[00:03:36]

Or locked in a hole this shit was gettin' old[00:03:39]

So I changed my life[00:03:43]

Putted down the gun and picked up the mic[00:03:45]

It took ten years to get from there to here[00:03:48]

But I still keep a gun cops got me on the run[00:03:52]

And they hate me more now[00:03:57]

Than they ever did before[00:04:00]

My homies came back from pen[00:04:02]

And we all worked together[00:04:03]

True friends but every once and while[00:04:05]

Some punk mistakes me as a junk[00:04:08]

And he gets in my face[00:04:11]

Wrong mothaf**kin' place[00:04:14]

And I ain't lyin' that's how you dyin'[00:04:16]
