1
It's always about money, It's always about money because...
2
That's just the way life goes, everybody wants to appear to be rich
3
Ain't nobody tryin to appear to be broke, you know
4
'Cause at the apperance of money, you know it's the deception
5
That everybody wants to put out there
6
That's the way they live their life
7
It's the life that we live, it's not by the rules
8
The lessons that we learn is not by school
9
Any boy, that wants to be man before his time
10
Is out his god damn mind, fiendin for the life
11
Full of pain full of strife, full of guns, full of knife
12
Full of good when your a nigga's girl, full of shit when you his wife
13
Full of dope fiend's dopin, full of crack fiend's smokin
14
Full of niggas who think the cops ain't watchin
15
Jokin full of Jesse Jackson hopin, we can be free
16
Full of niggas in the jailhouse that look like me
17
Full of pimps full of players, full of thugs full of macks
18
Full of hardcore rappers with a car full of gats
19
Full of fake ass niggas that rap
20
That will get exposed when they run into a real live scrap
21
Full of little green paper, with dead people on 'em
22
Got the graveyard full of flowers, with dead people on 'em
23
Full of them that don't like me 'til I figure how to stack around taxes
24
Full of loved ones that ain't comin back
25
Full of snitches full of rats, check the stats
26
We losin real bad in this game that we call the life
27
(Bumpy Knuckles)
28
L-L-L-Livin on the line-"Inspectah Deck"
29
(The Life!) E-Everything your hands could touch
30
(The Life!) Let-L-L-L-Let's all be professional-"C.L. Smooth"
31
(The Life!) You-You-You gotta respect the game
32
I sit and listen to the preachers talk about fair play
33
And that nigga knows the game don't play that way
34
This life is full of niggas that can't buy a tank full of glass
35
And sleep behind the buildin that's a bank full of cash
36
Temptation, they got sunshine
37
While niggas feel Bill Withers, "Ain't No Sunshine"
38
The life, for the niggas that got the funniest jokes
39
And the biggest diamond rings and the longest mink coats
40
And the best lookin houses, and they put 'em on cribs
41
And show the god damn feds where the fuck they live
42
Full of niggas with too many kids, they can't feed!
43
Full of niggas who went to college, and still can't read
44
Full of fake friends smilin in your face
45
Plottin on a safe, full of money while they keep it full of grace
46
Full of poorly runned government, that stole this land from the red man
47
Now we celebrate thanksgiving
48
Friends taken, fuck 40 acres and a mule
49
Gimme 40 million and I'm cool, then it's back to the motherland
50
Not to live but to buy diamonds, flawless
51
Shinin, not this fake shit that niggas wear rhymin
52
It's life full of niggas climbin, from the bottom to the top
53
Full of niggas fallin back to the bottom
54
Urbanized culture got 'em, check the stats
55
We losin real bad in this game that we call the life
56

57
Live-Live-Live-Live-Livin on the line-"Inspectah Deck"
58
(The Life!) E-Everything your hands could touch
59
(The Life!) Let's-Let's-Let's-Let's all be professional-"C.L. Smooth"
60
(The Life!) You-You-You gotta respect the game
61
The life! Struggle for survival, watch the game
62
That's why I'm glad pop left me this, glock to aim
63
Watch yourself now you can be reckless
64
And feel your whole body get snatched like, Marbury's necklace
65
I know we on the government check list
66
And soon they be droppin all the bombs and all our lives will be Flex less
67
This life is full of fake saints that won't start prayin
68
'Til they see this big room full weak nuns payin
69
What's the message I'm relayin?! It's all in your head
70
He say givin it to God, we say givin it to rev
71
This life is full of people who wouldn't give a fuck if I was dead
72
'Cause it means that they could come out from under they bed
73
Why they scared?! Life is full of dudes like me
74
Niggas rude like me, takin food like me
75
Full of jazz, full of soul, full of new, full of old
76
ASCAP full of publishin that people that done stole
77
Full of life love, but people won't share it
78
It's responsibility, and people won't bare it
79
It's the hardcore truth, but people can't wear it
80
That's why they all lose in this game that we call the life
81
