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've got in us cause all of us turned to sinners
Now some are restin' in pieces, some are sittin' in San Quentin
Others such as myself are tryin' to carry on tradition
Keepin' this rough, tough ghetto street essence inside us
Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us
Even though we know somehow we gll gotta go
But as long we leavin', thievin' we'll be leavin' with some kinda of
dough
So until the day we expire and turn to vapors, me and my capers
Will be somewhere stacking, plenty papers
Keepin' it real, packin' steel, gettin' high
Cause life's a bitch and then you die
CHORUS
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
Cause you never know when you gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we puff fly
Cause you never know when you gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
Cause you never know when you gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we puff fly
I woke up early on my born day, I'm 20 it's a blessing
The essence of adolescence leaves my body now I'm fresh in
My physical frame is celebrating cause I made it
One quarter through life some Godly like thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some
Load up the mike and bust one, cuss while I pus from
My skull causin' pain in my brain, vein money maintain
Don't go against the grain simple and plain
When I was young like this I used to do my thing hard
Robbing foreigners - take the wallet, the jewels and rip their green cards
Dip to the projects flashing my quick cash and
Got my first piece of ass smokin' blunts with hash
Now it's all about cash in abundance
Niggas I used to run with is rich or doing years in the hundreds
I switch my motto instead of saying fuck tomorrow
That buck that bought a bottle could of struck the lotto
CHORUS
