[Rome]

[DJ Premier]



So you gotta make the best of a bad situation, and hold your head







[Rome]



Knahmsayin?You gotta progress through the struggle man







[Chorus]



[Guru] In this life.. (ohhh, this life)



[DJ P] "You better wake up"



[Guru] In this life.. (talkin bout this life)



[DJ P] "R-R-Remember this"



[Guru] In this life.. (whoah-ohhh)



[DJ P] "S-S-Survival of the fittest" -> Nas



[Guru] In this life..



[DJ P] "I go all out" - "Y'knahmsayin?"







[Verse One: Guru]



From New York to Cali it remains the same



Bitch niggaz always wanna go against the grain



The strong will survive, the weak shall perish



Y'all need more courage, I keep y'all nourished



Get in line, I let you know right now



You need to slow right down or you get blown right now



From what I see it's systematic how we push to addicts



Demographics make the street life hell or drastic



In the hood we see oppressive genocide



Cause if it's on it's on, you know at least 10 men'll ride



But on the other side, corruption runs deep



I'm aware of the conspiricies, discussion is brief



They're building more prisons, spendin less on schools



On the block Smith & Wess-ons and Teflons rule



It's hard to escape it, certain laws are sacred



In this life my nigga, it's mad hard to make it







[Chorus]



[Guru] In this life..



[Dogg] Money is key



[Dogg] And everybody you see ain't what they claim to be



[Guru] In this life..



[Dogg] I try to do right



[Dogg] I live a treacherous life, I know I ain't right, mm



[Guru] In this life..



[Dogg] You got to keep on



[Dogg] You got to be strong, you got to hold on



[Guru] In this life, heh, I come in peace



[Guru] But still yo, I come from the streets







[Verse Two: Snoop Dogg]



This one's for my sons and my lil' daughter



Peace to JMJ and my nigga Headquarters



A +GangStarr+ with a gangster, on a mission



World +Premier+, limited edition



My mind keeps driftin cause I haven't had a spliff in



a long time, I'm doin fine, I feel teriffic



I bop up the street, C-walk to the beat



It's cold outdoors, so I got to keep some heat



I never know when a cutthroat gon' try to test me



Disrespect me, things could get messy



Yes he, shoot a good game, like James



I mean Jesse, watch out nigga, heavens to Betsies



The big drum beater



With a car full of heaters and some fly senoritas



In some Stacy's or some Chucks, cause I gotsta keep it G'd up



Run up on the Dogg man you bound to get beat up







[Chorus]



[Guru] In this life.. (ohhh, this life, I'm tryin to make it better)



[DJ P] "You better wake up"



[Guru] In this life.. (I won't have to struggle no mo', no I won't)



[DJ P] "R-R-Remember this"



[Guru] In this life.. (ohhh, this life, this life)



[DJ P] "S-S-Survival of the fittest" -> Nas



[Guru] In this life.. (tryin to make it better, yes I am)







[Outro: Uncle Reo]



Ooooohhh, talkin bout this life



WhoahhhOHHHHHHHHHH, this life, this life.. {*fades out*
