This Life

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

Nigga stop, hold on, before you jump and just listen

Take a second to stradle the fence

Let me tell you about what you been missing

Ain't a damn thang, when (or why?) you thinking the grass is greener

Like a nigga just lost his first love, singing "have you seen her? "

Tossin high beams, chasing pipe dreams, looking for shit that really ain't there

I mean [? ] is what you make it my nigga you betta just stay on your sqaure

Down here, militant theives, pimps and pussies is on the prowl

If they find you out of your element, they'll pick you out of the crowd

Thang to do is face the music, take a stand for yo postition

Nigga get up, better stand up, man up in yo position

Never had no mercy for them niggas that's not applying they self

And shit ain't perfect so you got to make it work for yourself

You catch them coward niggas running ducking looking for help

But the realist niggas in the game play the cards they was dealt

Me myself I got some issues I ain't dealing with yours

Everybody got they own drama, rich or they poor

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

Nigga they gave me the 25 with the L, I'm in my jail cell

It feel like a movie I'm getting so woozy from this hell smell

Bailed and breathed in hells air

My first day here

I had to get down with a nigga that thought I was some kinda faggot

I had to show him no hoes stay here

Now to be dieing is my main fear

Why did I have to kill that man? I shouldve never let my anger give

Now my state of awareness keeps me wishing I was thinkin

Should have reason I didn't really mean to stop the boy from breathin

I was awake last night, real late last night

Cause I heard some nigga screamin gettin reaped last night

I did the crime, but I wad'nt thinkin about me doing the time

These 6 by 9s, is about to make me lose my mind

Trapped in these closed walls

Ain't had no conversation with my family on the outside cause they won't except my phone calls

After a couple of years of sheddin tears, my heart is stone hard, believe I'm ready for war and on gaurd

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

I've been shot, grew up without my pops

In the hood round block seen niggas shot

Got rid of them thangs, tryin to chase them nots

Cause I had to have it, little niggas that's lookin for where my stash at

Watchin my back, puttin up ready for niggas that wanna check that

And I can't keep it kind, if you puttin in work and your dreams is just like mine

Wake up in cold sweats, regrets about what I thought was lies

I can see me not doing that, but I did it, we live it, the hood shows you no slack (no slack)

And believe it, there is no (no) no coming back

Make money think your on that

Just ridin through the hood, you might have to push your way back

Get the money man, the buddah fuck ye up, they say they get home man

But damn I gotta watch my people

You be high, cause one us lady (lady), not just him, but damn everybody he ran with

They all be getting money man (money man)

Right here, damn see how life is

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice

You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice
