Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yo, I grew up like the regular thug, sold drugs
Wasn't proud about it, but this is what I gotta do
I copped the Jordans and Filas too
Yo, I love the Bo Jackson's, the orange and blue
Used to snatch Lee patches, now I wear Cartier glasses
Thinkin' that the Earth's axis
Revolves around my whip, and how the fuck I feel
Yo, I played ball for Vince, yo, I handled the pair
[Verse 2]
Then it dawned on me, came strong on me
I belonged with these **** thuggin' with me
So I switched crews, started rollin' with the older dudes
Drinkin' brews, did what they say to pay dues
My hands dirty, trying to keep little me up
And got jerked, the first time I tried to re-up
People my age tried to say slow my speed up
'Cause I smoked bogies, staked on weed up
[Verse 3]
I love my life
Love my life, yo
Sold drugs, my life
Did it all in my time
Lived my whole life
Live it up
I sacrificed
Sacrificed twice
This game we play
Play for keeps
I live and pray
Control the streets
I feel the same
Yo, just live your life, baby, live your life, baby, yo, yo, yo
[Verse 4]
These is the days of sparklin', I used to roll with Rob Profit
Troy Outlaw, Freddie Bedrock, and Joe Wood
Runnin' in Timbo's, chant don't ask, shine shoes
Section two, part of Iraq I grew up at
Had to learn how to slapbox instead of a gat
I never knew rap, all I knew was crack
Yo, there's rules to this game and people to blame
When you see another little brother doing the same
[Verse 5]
As you used to, growing up like you
Playing skully with his heat out, cellular phone
Getting little drug money but got the world sewn
I recall, 'cause T-Bone died, yo, I cried
It's hard to get tarred up with God jewel part two
Smiley got shot up too
Hey, yo, you realize that you miss a ****
When you realize that you never gon' see him again
[Verse 6]
I love my life
Love my life now
Sold drugs, my life
Did it all in my time
Lived my whole life
Live it up
I sacrificed
Sacrificed twice
This game we play
Play for keeps
I live and pray
Control the streets
I feel the same
Yo, just live your life, baby, live your life, baby
Live it up
[Verse 7]
Hey, yo, it's totally up to the team, to me
So don't make a move if you don't ask me
I'm casually know, halfly blown
In Miami cause now Uncle Wise came home
Jungle, copped me a Role', copped them one too
You keep it real with a person, keep it real with you
Use confidence, thugged out aim for dominance
Nostradam' in this, he sluts wrists just like Glomerus
[Verse 8]
Not me though, grenade iced out from Tito
Puerto Rico, we live life now cause we know
The other side of the fence stay friendly
It's just war in there, done, ain't no Henny
I can't live that, deja vu, I did that
I gained stats, rumblin' cats over Kit Kats
Now I spit raps, park my Benz where the chicks at
A just live with a big stack
[Verse 9]
I love my life
Sold drugs, my life
Lived my whole life
I sacrificed
This game we play
I live and pray
I feel the same
[Verse 10]
I love my life
Sold drugs, my life
Lived my whole life
I sacrificed
This game we play
I live and pray
I feel the same
[Verse 11]
I love my life
Sold drugs, my life
Lived my whole life
I sacrificed
This game we play
I live and pray
I feel the same, this game we play
[Verse 12]
I love my life
Sold drugs, my life
Lived my whole life
I sacrificed
