Life's a Bitch (feat. AZ & Olu Dara)

Ayo, wassup? Wassup? Let's keep it real, son

Count this money, you know what I'm sayin'?

Yeah, yeah

Ayo, put the Grants over there in the safe, you know what I'm sayin'

'Cause we spendin' these Jacksons

The Washingtons go to wifey, you know how that go

I'm sayin' that's what this is all about, right?

Clothes, bankrolls and hoes, you know what I'm sayin'?

Yo, then what, man, what?

Visualizing the realism of life in actuality

Fuck who's the baddest, a person's status depends on salary

And my mentality is money-orientated

I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it

'Cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as Five Percenters

But something must have got in us 'cause all of us turned to sinners

Now some resting in peace, and some are sitting in San Quentin

Others such as myself are trying to carry on tradition

Keeping this Schweppervescent street ghetto essence inside us

'Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us

Even though we know, somehow, we all gotta go

But as long as we leaving thieving

We'll be leaving with some kind of dough, so

Until that day we expire and turn to vapors

Me and my capers will be somewhere else stackin' plenty papers

Keeping it real, packing steel, getting high

'Cause life's a bitch and then you die

Life's a bitch and then you die

That's why we get high

'Cause you never know when you're gonna go

Life's a bitch and then you die

That's why we puff lye

'Cause you never know when you're gonna go

Life's a bitch and then you die

That's why we get high

'Cause you never know when you're gonna go

Life's a bitch and then you die

That's why we puff lye

I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessing

The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and

My physical frame is celebrated 'cause I made it

One quarter through life, some Godly-like thing created

Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some

Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I pus from

My skull 'cause it's pain in my brain vein, money maintain

Don't go against the grain, simple and plain

When I was young at this, I used to do my thing hard

Robbing foreigners, take their wallets, their jewels, and rip their green cards

Dipped to the projects flashing my quick cash, and

Got my first piece of ass smoking blunts with hash

Now it's all about cash in abundance

**** I used to run with is rich or doing years in the hundreds

I switched my motto, instead of saying, "Fuck tomorrow"

That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto

Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks

I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back

Time is Illmatic, keep static like wool fabric

Pack a 4-matic to crack your whole cabbage

Life's a bitch and then you die

That's why we get high

'Cause you never know when you're gonna go

Life's a bitch and then you die

That's why we puff lye

'Cause you never know when you're gonna go

Life's a bitch and then you die

That's why we get high

'Cause you never know when you're gonna go

Life's a bitch and then you die

That's why we puff lye

'Cause you never know when you're gonna go

Life's a bitch and then you die
