[Nas]
2
To my niggaz.. huh..
3
We all we got..
4
Let's hold it down though, y'know?
5
However it's gon' go down
6
This what we gotta deal with, y'know?
7
Yo..
8
[Chorus: Nas]
9
It's the life we chose, where friends become foes
10
And the dough'll get you killed quicker than you know
11
This is the life we chose, bring fake snakes and hoes
12
And the only way out, is death or goin broke
13
This the life we chose, ain't too many happy endings
14
That's why there ain't too many happy niggaz in it
15
And I'll admit it, this life is fucked up but yo..
16
(but yo..) this life is the only life I know [echoes]
17
[Nas]
18
Uhh, uhh, uhh
19
Gold bathtubs, makin love to my Queen
20
Get my back rubbed, Chardonnay, rollin up green
21
Statues, marble floors, rare paintings on my wall
22
My lifestyle's like the Forbes Magazine
23
Closets, full of rockets and submachines
24
Take this nigga out the projects, and his thug team
25
Yo we cruise past street lights, I'll rides
26
Mr. Child both coasts with the most loud toast
27
Calicos roast y'all folks, keep y'all dyin
28
Cause it's hard to fuck around when we dealin with science
29
My enemies got money, so y'all should watch how I play it
30
They never know we enemies until they hear me say it
31
Til they kid's on the phone sayin, "Please daddy pay it"
32
Til they brain's on the floor, mixed on the pavement
33
High-class elegance, you respect or you hiss
34
You go against you'd rather piss on an electrical fence
35
It's strategic, how these niggaz want you to think
36
You'd be surprised, who'd be the one to put you to sleep
37
Why you stink? Yo these streets don't allow you to blink
38
You get showered by lead, comin out with your mink
39
Bow ties and tuxedos, bust Eagles
40
Dump drugs and acid, then they rush with the Rico
41
It's hard fuckin with niggaz you hope you can trust
42
You a fool if your main bitch is easy to fuck
43
And you've got money - is these hoes greedy or what?
44
Shit is devious, ex-friends wantin you stuck
45
[Chorus]
46
[Nas]
47
Uhh, what's love when you don't give your man enough dough?
48
He wanna stick you
49
What's love, you got beef?
50
Nobody rollin wit you
51
What's love, you locked up, and your family don't care
52
Is love a four-letter word, that deceives the air?
53
What's real, when you know your man's girl is a hoe
54
And you don't even let him know, cause you fucked her befo'
55
What's real, when you talk behind a man's back
56
Then you see him and give him dap, now explain that?
57
What's trust, when they seperate your case
58
When you at your court date, your co-de', can't look in your face
59
What's trust, when you keep your wife away from your man?
60
And he never crossed you, but you claimin he's fam'?
61
What's trust, when you get bust, your niggaz don't retaliate?
62
They blaze purple haze with em the next day?
63
God forbid one of my niggaz get hit, I'ma go haywire
64
Won't hesitate, I'ma spray fire
65
But everybody's different, you won't know how you react
66
Til you in that position, and that's an actual fact
67
The hearts of men change as time goes on, who's wrong?
68
You was hungry when you stuck Duke, he came back to buck you
69
Who's wrong? Foul all your life, now you 90
70
On your deathbed you regret bein grimy
71
What's lust, a bust nut? What's a thug?
72
A ghetto child raised around drugs, til he's old enough to bust slugs?
73
Then what's jail, to rehabilitate, or to make a nigga worse
74
When he come home to catch another case?
75
Life's about decisions, you choose it, you gotta live it
76
You did it, heaven or hell or prison
77
Who knows when your clock'll stop tickin, get your weight up
78
Save up before it's over neighbor, I told ya
79
You gettin older player, look at those who gave up
80
[Chorus]
