Born 2 Live - O.C.[00:00:00]
Like the dead end kids[00:00:36]
We used to play in the streets[00:00:37]
Never worryin about grief[00:00:39]
Football spelled relief[00:00:39]
Ronnie was the coach for us[00:00:40]
See he taught us to play[00:00:42]
Almost every single day OK[00:00:45]
Now on Evergreen was Larry[00:00:47]
And Mike and Lon[00:00:48]
My cousin Boo lived there too[00:00:49]
Just to name a few[00:00:50]
With Sha rone he's bad to the[00:00:52]
Bone Boo's little sidekick[00:00:54]
And a badass mouth he used[00:00:55]
To feist it on Harmon Street[00:00:57]
With Zach Leo and Ed[00:00:59]
Me Jody and Boop by June,[00:01:00]
Rocky and then comes[00:01:01]
Tommy and Cedric, Lamont and Greg,[00:01:03]
Unique in our own right[00:01:04]
At times we'd fight, but that's a-ight[00:01:06]
Still, not realizin we had love, it showed[00:01:07]
When we played, no phony charades against[00:01:10]
One another, now while I write this song[00:01:13]
It's like some are still alive and a couple are gone[00:01:15]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:01:19]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:01:21]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:01:23]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:01:26]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:01:29]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:01:31]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:01:34]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:01:36]
As kids, you're overlookin death[00:01:38]
It didn't seem important or serious,[00:01:41]
It just seems curious[00:01:43]
It was about, wakin to a bowl of cereal[00:01:43]
Cartoons on Saturday's, karate flicks, and like[00:01:45]
Ridin your skateboard, or bicycle[00:01:47]
And went as deep as Killa Joe[00:01:48]
On the corner drinkin Ripple[00:01:50]
Plus, Puerto Rican kids on the[00:01:52]
Block were cool[00:01:54]
We got along, we all knew right from wrong[00:01:55]
By far, we got a dose that life was hard[00:01:59]
A Spanish we were close with, was killed by a car[00:02:02]
Shocking, Alberto was hit, on the block and[00:02:05]
Death was spontaneous, his moms[00:02:07]
Was clockin him 'cross the street[00:02:08]
He just received an award[00:02:12]
For Little League baseball like an hour before, plus[00:02:13]
He didn't even get to see the summer set in[00:02:16]
Dyin all young at the age of seven[00:02:18]
It opened up my eyes small that the flesh was weak[00:02:21]
As a kid, thinkin sh*t like that was mad deep, peep it[00:02:23]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:02:27]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:02:29]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:02:31]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:02:34]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:02:36]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:02:39]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:02:42]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:02:44]
Now when somebody is gone, that's[00:02:46]
When you realize how close you was[00:02:48]
How close you are.. like a star[00:02:49]
Real deep it takes time to heal[00:02:51]
And still from time to time you wish you[00:02:53]
Could find the way to forgive[00:02:55]
And let him know you forgave[00:02:57]
But they can't feel six feet deep inside the grave[00:02:58]
What's left, but attend his wake, believin if it was you[00:03:01]
He'd do it for old time's sake, damn[00:03:04]
I'm disturbed, by the news when I was told I was sittin[00:03:06]
Knowin damn well Boo ain't bullshittin[00:03:09]
My life flashed like big bills of cash[00:03:10]
And good times we had, now it's all so sad[00:03:13]
One of my childhood pals hit the road[00:03:17]
When you take, to the streets,[00:03:21]
Then you die, by the code[00:03:22]
But in this case, who knows what went down[00:03:24]
Bottom line is wishin that he still was around[00:03:26]
Now he found a spot in my heart,[00:03:29]
Or should I say lobotomy[00:03:31]
Mike, know you're trapped inside of me[00:03:32]
And every other brother in Bushwick[00:03:34]
Who rushed to your side thick,[00:03:35]
All down with the click[00:03:38]
Yeah, God Bless he laid to rest[00:03:40]
Call him Mike Boogie, that's what[00:03:41]
Describes the ni**a best[00:03:43]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:03:44]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:03:47]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:03:49]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:03:52]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:03:55]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:03:57]
We're born to live, a life to die[00:04:00]
Life's so damn short and I wonder why[00:04:02]
We're born to live[00:04:05]
We're born to live[00:04:08]
We're born to live[00:04:11]
We're born to live[00:04:13]
Like that y'all[00:04:15]
