The Way We Live lyrics

Noreaga] *DeBarge sings in background* 

  

 Y'know what I mean? This for the woman, y'know what'm sayin?  Coming up, just


 trying to get a nut. Y'all really understand what we doing. Ya know? Y'all 

 understand that we hurting y'all, y'all come attatched.  It's all good.  This


 one for y'all, y'know what I mean? Yo, ya know?  Its crazy.  We all together.


  

 [Noreaga] 

  

 I used to cut pies, in front of my girl, now I apologized 

 The reason why: (My fault) she seen the red in my eyes 

 When I was cuttin it, feelin like the archives 

 Choppin it down, thinkin I'm, choosing my prize 

 Never hit the street with out my heat, boo, told me not to  

 Said, "Paps, we know the jake 'ill try to knock you" 

 You do your thing, boo, I'll still be there, don't mean to knock you 

 I know its hard fuckin with a thug nigga like me 

 Thinkin would I get locked?  

 Come home tonight or not? 

 Black Princess, kiss you when I see you 

 White women suntan and try to be you 

 The ?Mellanin? in your skin, make it all see-through 

 Sometimes he hurt y'all, not understanding what we doing 

 Sweatin at the foul line like Pat Ewing 

 Yo from all the brothers 

 I dedicate to the mothers 

 My mother, grandmother of the Earth 

 If it wasn't for women, then it wouldn't be birth 

 What, its all real 

  

 Chorus [Chico DeBarge] 

  

 We're just some thug people (That's what we are) 

 That's what we are, trying hard to change the way we live 

 (Change the way we live) 

 But we can't take back, cause thats what we are 

 Trying hard to change the way life we live 

  

 [Noreaga] 

  

 Yo, yo, aiyyo, you got chronic? You got yours, I got mines 

 Lets get real high, light it all at the same time 

 Stop holdin, (hold it up) babe its your turn to roll it 

 I used to spend time outside with my dime 

 She be, rocking my chain, thinkin she shine 

 Straight beautiful, yo, I'm really glad that she mine 

 Kiss you on the forehead, cause yo, boo  

 This one for you 

 The stupid shit I did in the past, I didn't mean it 

 You know a nigga skinny, cause a nigga 'nemic 

 But when you cook, the way that it smell, the way that it look 

 Cause chef, plus you look good, that's off the hook 

 You go to school to 

 Sit back, or respect dude 

 Work you part-time, spendin your time around mine 

 I'm lovin you, thats why I wrote this rhyme 

 Flying in to Bell Harbor, when we need to shop 

 It's Cartier, Gucci, Gaultier, shit won't stop! 

  

 Chorus 

  

 [Noreaga] 

  

 Yo, its all good, I'm likin that two-hundred ?stand me? 

 It even flipped, when I was down in Miami 

 Called me on my cell phone, Jones like I'm still home 

 Tell me what your wearing girl, or what you look at pillin girl 

 Step into my life now, share my world 

 Thats what I like about you, you got faith in me 

 Be shining by yourself, with little lace with me 

 The only thing I love more, gotta be the kids 

 You got the real hair, while other chicks rock wigs 

 I can remember back then, quite distinctively 

 When you friends kept saying not to get with me 

 But you couldn't help it, I know the both of us felt it 

 The both us melt it, the both of us dealt with 

 The rumors and the lies, your eyes on dies 

 Is enough for a brother to cut off ties 

 To any other chick I used to mess with 

 Keepin it real, cause you the real one, that I wanna step with 

  

 Chorus - in background 

  

 This song right here, is dedicated to all of y'all, y'know what I mean? Cause,


 we know how we are, we know how we make y'all feel sometimes. Knowing that we


 ain't doing it purposely.  We're just being the person that we are. Hanging


 with the fellas, gettin jealous, y'know what I mean?You know what it is.  This


 one's for y'all. 

 Word up.  I want y'all to tell all y'all girlfriends about this one 

  

 Chorus
