The Life Lyrics

The Life lyrics

It's a new day in the rap game!
Nobody sells records but Shyne
Po!

[Verse 1]
My life had it's ups and downs, but I don't regret
nothin'
I had the whole tri-state high, nigga I ain't frontin'
at Fifteen
I sold my first bag of dope
used to stick Dominicans, burner under the
coat
gettin' like 15 grams, a half a Ki
at Fifteen man, a nigga just glad
to be
gettin' some shorts, me and my Man from a Hundred and Fifth
he knew
some Dominican niggas that wanted a clique
to hold 'em down, shoot niggas in
the head
throw 'em out windows if they were late with the bread
basically
I'm enforcin'
around heavy coke, when nobody's lookin' I'd be dippin' in the
portion
they wasn't missin' it
so I got my hustle on the side, flippin'
it
sellin' like 500 bottles and Nicks, started minor
but I always knew
I'd turn a big apple into cider.

Niggas...niggas just ain't built like
me...
stand up niggas...since 15
I been servin' fiends and loadin'
magazines...
takin' shots..burnin' blocks..
this ain't no fuckin'
rap.

[Verse 2]
Everything was everything 'till my Man got
pinched
he had a shoot-out with the cops in front of the precinct
other
than that, I went from enforcer to movin' product, straight white
powder
now, gettin' it
the hardest nigga in the street
my first car was a 190
Benz with Louie Vaton seats
buyin' out the bar at the rooftop
I had a few
spots
one called the jukebox
where I was gettin' like 50 a brick
2 or 3
bricks a day, makin' mothafuckas sick
my Cousin Ron a crook from the Brook
was torchin'
any niggas whisperin' or talkin' 'bout extortion
shit was
goin' right and only one better
when I got my Italian connect, hittin' me
with pure Heroin
moved to 116th, started seein' real dinero then
empire
buildin', the shit was takin' flight
had my bitches cuttin' up like 10 Ki's
a night
mixin' lactose, Bonita, and Quenii
I was the first Black nigga
with mafia ties
leased my soul to the Devil with the option to
buy.

Yo..bangin' for real..
niggas is thinkin' rap, I'm thinkin'
laundromat..
we washin' this money...
you think this shit is about
rhymes...
you'll find yourself under the fuckin' ground...you know?..
we
get low when the Feds is in town..
this is justice..
we playin' the pop
charts and still lettin' them things pop off...

[Verse 3]
At 21 I was
a legend, had the game transformed
controllin' manufacturin' and distribution
of Heron
throughout the tri-state, high stakes
I spent Hundreds of Thou's
out of paper bags
you couldn't name a car I ain't have
every minute new
tags
Seven series to the Five-Sixty drop nigga
I was givin' away blocks
nigga
fast cars, fast money, slow deaths
this things of ours
had me
doin' a hundred miles an hour
through the City evadin' the Feds
started
this shit called the counsel and we all made a pledge
not to fuck each
others bitches
or touch each others riches
on top or broke
never break
this oath
every nigga in the counsel was a boss
we used to put coke on our
dick and make bitches suck it off
it was alright 'till I got
caught
charged with an Eight-Forty-Eight
behind Marion steel
gates
niggas started shittin', actin' bizarre
drivin' my cars, fuckin' my
broads, breakin' the laws
same niggas I took care of and got money wit' was
on some funny shit
if I was different I'd snitch
what would you do if you
got Millions with niggas and they had no love
for ya?
couldn't pay for ya
lawyer
I figured shit, why sit in a cell to rot?
I'll be out in Ten,
start over again
throw those boys in the pot, but I couldn't do it
you
couldn't understand it of you ain't been through it
there's rules to this
shit and I couldn't break 'em
death before dishonor 'till I meet Satan...I
know he's waitin'.

God forgive me...you've never seen a nigga like me in
your life...
I'm what these lil' niggas rap about...
thats me they talkin'
'bout in they rhymes...
I did that time...I flipped that
dime...
shoot-outs, jet planes, cocaine and automobiles...
The
Life...love it.
