Life (feat. Beanie Sigel)

I came up with my man, same hood, same age

Withheld names to protect the guilty and

Your boy Free was filthy, same clothes, different day

Be the first to admit it, while **** claim to be

Willies, hey

He pulled up the first johnny I drove

He cruised off the first homi' I seen, follow the flow

Smoke a Timmy with this semi, made his chimney move

Nerves made his body shake, everybody froze

So young with a pump and a MAC

Still manage to make it the Masjid, the bad kids

On the block, with a bundle of crack, package of pills

Old heads will try to teach us Quran

He said Muhammed walk with a sword, I roll with a gat

This the same shit, different day, from times

Now my man booked ain't writing me back

So I figured, I'll try to reach 'em with rhymes, now listen to Mack

We thuggin' for life

Gonna take it, ow

And then enough

Ain't no mistakin'

But it's for life, it's my life

Not for the taking

To all my boys in the hood, the East coast' does boys back

From the land of them throw boys black

I keep my toast in the hood, gon' squeeze

Hope you throw yours back

Come to the streets to bring my homeboys back

Blew my mind out this piece, but I'm always back

I got shiek in my ear, like mac, fall away back

Shit, I'm tryna come way up

And make the path so Free can tear the runaway up

Uh, my life a bitch with a period on

But still I keep it real, dog, I'm hittin' it raw

And I don't know how to carry this bitch

Sometime I wanna marry this bitch

Sometimes I feel like quitting this whore

But I can't 'cause it feel like kids is involved

I've been on so fucking much, feel like my living was off

But in my lifetime I learned to live with regrets

Deal with the evils, know that one day I'ma sit with the boss

It's my life, ****

We thuggin' for life

Gonna take it, ow

And then enough

Ain't no mistakin'

But it's for life, it's my life

Not for the taking

It's not even close, we throw toast, sleep with ya gats

It's the worst of both hoods, holla at 'em Mack

Follow up exact with the Mac, in the v

Get back, if you happen to see, the Mack or Free, at where you be

I be where you at, I come where you live

The cat untuckin' the gat, manuever the sig..wit seg

The Mac untuckin' a pump, removin' they wig with ease

Hear the feds trynna ruin the bull Sieg'

Before they kill me like Cornbread, you be like Diallo

Before I'm stuck like Louima, I be up when you need it

And I'ma ride for you, lace up my sneakers, puffin' my reefer

Tuckin' my heater, duckin' your honor, uh

Tell 'em tricks they gonna die when I see 'em

Let 'em know my friend colt 45 tryna meet with they mama

But we keep drama, think, rhyme is the reason

And Freeway the reason that you tied up in pajamas, uh

We thuggin' for life

Gonna take it, ow

And then enough

Ain't no mistakin'

But it's for life, it's my life

Not for the taking
