I was broke pocket full of lint now I'm on the bricks
Getting paid like no other dog now I'm stackin' chips
On the road like a trucker mane had to take some trips
Doing shows for my brothers but strapped with extra clips
Just in case any sucker would wanna run his lips
A female I don't trust her 'cause women like to trip
I stay all by my ghetty green hell with some time
Did some crime that was petty seem still gettin' mine
All this hatred I'm hearing though you I ain't fearing
Better try to be growing old mane with your children
Escalade what a nigga steering last days nearing
Trying to get it right with god only one who I'm fearing
Hopin' I'mma make it keep it real
Never knew I get the chances for a nigga to get paid
So I take it living like a player should
Wishin' that you could knowin' it's all to the good
Still down with the hood
This Life We Live
Life as we see it
See it's oh so beautiful
Oh it's so beautiful
Oh so beautiful
Oh it's so beautiful
This Life We Live
Life as we see it
See it's oh so beautiful
Oh it's so beautiful
Oh so beautiful
Oh it's so beautiful
Last year my cousin took a fall a sad song
Seem like we were just on the phone now he gone
People use to try to judge him sayin' he was wrong
But you can't try to judge a man you do you wrong
Smokin' out on a daily base I'm in the clouds
Drinkin' liquor fallin' on my face
Wondering how I survive all this foolishness up in the street
Ridin' dirty I ain't new to this
I'm packin' heat but the streets very hazardous
To a niggas health watch your step you ain't Lazarus
You'll meet your death
I'm the man from the North North side of the town
With the will to support me and keep 'em found
Stayin' down got your gold grills dro in the air
Barbecue on the grill sum cool for a player
When I ride through the streets h*es are plentiful
'Cause the life that we live so beautiful
This Life We Live
Life as we see it
See it's oh so beautiful
Oh it's so
Beautiful
Oh so beautiful
Oh it's so beautiful
This Life We Live
Life as we see it
See it's oh so beautiful
Oh it's so
Beautiful
Oh so beautiful
Oh it's so beautiful
Gotta take the good with the bad smile with the sad
Love what you got and remember what you had
Messin' with the ones who help me in the times
When I was flat broke didn't even have a dime
My family they was there my niggas they was there
The rest of ya'll left me for dead didn't care
I use to have dreams livin' large in this thang
And by the grace of god I'm still alive in this thang
I strive in this game to get all that I can
Never said I'm the man respect me as a man
To you ones think I owe you somethin' now that's a joke
Think you bad come and get you somethin' how low to d**e
Either treal either fake you can love you can hate
Either go and get your own or you can't sit and wait
On the next man to come up you can peep this
You can do what I do handle your business
This Life We Live
Life as we see it
See it's oh so beautiful
Oh it's so
Beautiful
Oh so beautiful
Oh it's so beautiful
This Life We Live
Life as we see it
See it's oh so beautiful
Oh it's so
Beautiful
Oh so beautiful
Oh it's so beautiful
