1
Young! For life
2
Once again it's the life, yessss
3
(I don't know why, I.. Get so high on)
4
It's intoxicatin man, y'all don't know why you do what you do
5
(Get so high on, get so high - high off the life)
6
[Verse One]
7
The allure of breakin the law
8
Is always too much for me to ever ignore
9
I gotta thing for them big body Benzes, it dulls my senses
10
In love with a V-Dub engine
11
Man I'm high off life, fuck it I'm wasted
12
Bey Venay kicks, or them Marvin Kaye wrists
13
My women friend get tennis bracelets
14
Trips to Venice, get they winters replaced with
15
The sun, it ain't even fun no more I'm jaded
16
Man, it's just a game, I just play it to play it
17
I put my feet in the footprints left to me
18
Without sayin a word, the ghetto's got a mental telepathy
19
Man my brother hustled so, naturally
20
Up next is me, but what perplexes me
21
shit I know how this movie ends, still I play
22
The starrin role in "Hovito's Way"
23
[Chorus:]
24
It's just life, I solemnly swear
25
To change my approach, stop shavin coke
26
Stay away from hoes, put down the toast
27
Cause I be doin the most.. Oh no!
28
But every time I felt that was that, it called me right back
29
It called me right back, man it called me right back - oh no!
30
[Verse Two]
31
I'm like a Russian mobster, drinkin distilled vodka
32
'Til I'm under the field with Hoffa, it's real
33
Peal the top up like a toupee
34
Mix the water, with the soda
35
Turn the pot up make a souflee
36
All of y'all can get it like group page in your 2-way
37
I'm livin proof that crime do pay
38
Say hooray to the bad guy, and all the broads
39
Puttin cars in they name for the stars of the game
40
Puttin 'caine in they bras and their tomorrows on the train
41
All in the name of love
42
Just to see that love locked in chains and the family came
43
Over the house to take back, everything that they claimed
44
Or even the worst pain is the distress
45
Learnin you're the mistress only after that love gets slain
46
And the anger and the sorrow mixed up leads to mistrust
47
Now it gets tough to ever love a-gain
48
But the allure of the game, keeps callin your name
49
To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain
50
To all the Christies in every cities and Tiffany Lanes
51
We all hustlers, in love with the same thang
52
[Chorus:]
53
[Verse Three]
54
I never felt more alive than ridin shotgun
55
In Cline's green 5 until the cops pulled guns
56
And I tried to smoke weed to give me the fix I need
57
What the game did to my pulse, with no results
58
And you can treat your nose and still won't come close
59
The game is a light bulb with eleventy-million volts
60
And I'm just a moth, addicted to the floss
61
And doors lift from the floor and the tops come off
62
By any means necessary, whatever the cost
63
Even if it means lives is lost..
64
And I can't explain why, I just love to get high
65
Drink life, smoke the blueberry sky, blink twice
66
I'm in the blueberry 5, you blink three times
67
I may not even be alive
68
How mean James Dean couldn't escape the allure
69
Dyin young, leavin a good lookin corpse
70
Of course
71
[Chorus:]
72
Once again it's the life
73
I said it's the life
74
Once again it's the life - oh no!
75
(I don't why I) why I (get so high on)
76
Get so (get so high on) uh-huh
77
(get so high - high off the life!)
78
Hahahahahahaha - woo!
