Life Is What You Make It Lyrics

Life Is What You Make It lyrics

[Nas] 

 Yo ill will, ruff ryders 

 what what, sraight like that 

 

 You a killer or a hustler, dealer or customer 

 Gangsta or buster, youngster or old nigga 

 A weed head, a coke sniffer 

 You rich or a broke nigga 

 Know you all relate to this shit that i wrote niggas 

 Lots of my mans trapped up in a max 

 Penatentary, sending me letters i answer back 

 That eventually, we all be bentley'ed out 

 Throwing campaigns, fuck it I'm running for White House 

 My niggas control Senate, pipe seats jeeps tinted 

 Mad Lewinsky chicks, some kinky shit 

 Did dirt now I knew it would come back one day 

 So I'm on point, scrap, prepare for gunplay 

 Stared at one face, thought it was beef he looked familiar 

 Ready to blast ,nigga gave me daps said I feel ya 

 Can't believe how my life changed 

 From the hood, the first time in my life I can say i did the right thing 

 

 Chorus: 4x 

 Life is what you make it nigga, I'ma make it 

 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it(uh) 

 

 [DMX] 

 uh, uh, uh, uh, uh 

 Everyday shit, around the way shit got me stressed (what) 

 So i keep on the vest in case a nigga wanna test (uh) 

 I got no time for games cause I'm all grown up 

 You wanna joke nigga? laugh when you get blown up (come on) 

 See how funny it is when your kids aint got no father 

 Cause you played it sweet now you floating in the harbor (for real) 

 Shit is hectic so respect it for your health (what) 

 Didn't think it was right, you should've checked it yourself (come on) 

 Life is too short to get caught up in some dumb shit 

 Wake up one day, 40 years old on some bumb shit 

 Time flew by, you was too fly to see the light 

 Everyday it's getting darker then comes the night 

 Now what? (what) realize that you ain't got shit (uh) 

 Not long ago you was the man on some hot shit 

 So just peep the flow yo, cause you already in this 

 Make sure your shit is right kid and handle your business (uh huh) 

 

 Chorus 

 

 [Nas] 

 Make history before you go 

 Fuck the misery, you po we gettin doe 

 Except the ?dollars? other reasons why I'm living yo (why?) 

 Time is viable 

 Low and behold the young, black, and powerful 

 Got to eat yo, everyday my daughters feet grow 

 You wack and cheap with the doe, my heat could blow 

 Payin doctors when I'm born, a preacher when I'm buried 

 That's why cash is needed for my kids to inherit 

 Gotta pay just for living, tax life is a b'ness (business) 

 If you catch a bad deal, watch your life deminish 

 Deals made by God and the Devil, and we in it 

 Pawns in the game, can't complain or say shit 

 Just strap up and hold on, hope for the best 

 prepare for the worse, no fears no nothing on earth 

 No tears if I'm dumped in a hearse, I won't be the first 

 Nor the last nigga, let's get this cash nigga 

 

 Chorus
