Life We Chose

It's the life we chose, where friends become foes

And the dough'll get you killed quicker than you know

This is the life we chose, bring fake snakes and hoes

And the only way out is death or going broke

This the life we chose, ain't too many happy endings

That's why there ain't too many happy **** in it

And I'll admit it, this life is fucked up but yo

This life is the only life I know

Gold bathtubs, making love to my queen

Get my back rubbed, Chardonnay, rolling up green

Statues, marble floors, rare paintings on my wall

My lifestyle's like the Forbes magazine

Closets full of rockets and sub-machines

Take this **** out the projects and his thug team

Yo, we cruise past street lights, ill rides

Mr. Chow, both coasts with the most loud toast

Calicos roast y'all folks, keep y'all dying

'Cause its hard to fuck around when we dealin' with science

My enemies got money, so y'all should watch how I play it

They never know we enemies until they hear me say it

Till they kids on the phone sayin' "Please, daddy, pay it"

Till they brains on the floor, mixed on the pavement

High-class elegance, you respect or you hiss

You go against, you'd rather piss on an electrical fence

It's strategic how these **** want you to think

You'd be surprised who'd be the one to put you to sleep

Why you stink? Yo, these streets don't allow you to blink

You get showered by lead, coming out with your mink

Bow ties and tuxedos, bust eagles

Dump drugs and acid, then they rush with the RICO

It's hard fuckin' with **** you hope you can trust

You a fool if your main bitch is easy to fuck

And you've got money, is these hoes greedy or what?

Shit is devious, ex-friends wanting you stuck

It's the life we chose, where friends become foes

And the dough'll get you killed quicker than you know

This is the life we chose, bring fake snakes and hoes

And the only way out is death or going broke

This the life we chose, ain't too many happy endings

That's why there ain't too many happy **** in it

And I'll admit it, this life is fucked up but yo

This life is the only life I know

What's love when you don't give your man enough dough?

He wanna stick you

What's love, you got beef?

Nobody rollin' with you

What's love?

You locked up and your family don't care

Is love a four letter word that deceives the ear?

Whats real when you know your man's girl is a ho

And you don't even let him know 'cause you fucked her before

What's real when you talk behind a mans back

Then you see him dap, now explain that?

What's trust when they separate your case

When you're at your court date, your co-de can't look you in your face

What's trust when you keep your wife away from your man

And he never crossed you but you claiming he's fam?

What's trust when you get bust, your **** don't retaliate?

They blaze purple haze with 'em the next day

God forbid, one of my **** get hit, I'ma go haywire

Won't hesitate, I'ma spray fire

But everybody's different, you won't know how you react

Till you in that position and that's an actual fact

The hearts of men change as time goes on, who's wrong?

You was hungry when you stuck Duke, he came back to buck you

Who's wrong? Foul all your life, now you 90

On your death bed, you regret being grimy

What's lust, a bust nut?

What's a thug?

A ghetto child raised around drugs till he's old enough to bust slugs?

Then what's jail?

To rehabilitate or to make a **** worse

When he come home to catch another case?

Life's about decisions, you choose it, you gotta live it

You did it, Heaven or Hell or prison

Who knows when your clock'll stop ticking, get your weight up

Save up before it's over, neighbor, I told ya

You gettin' older, player, look at those who gave up

It's the life we chose, where friends become foes

And the dough'll get you killed quicker than you know

This is the life we chose, bring fake snakes and hoes

And the only way out is death or going broke

This the life we chose, ain't too many happy endings

That's why there ain't too many happy **** in it

And I'll admit it, this life is fucked up but yo

This life is the only life I know
