[Chorus] Oh It's life or d**h in my town And I'm standin' on deadly ground I just want to live my life All by myself Life is full of debt And life is full of cnflict I'm just tired of seein' all my homies out here dyin' quick Society today is all twisted Gave my homie 20 years for shop lifttin' Now that's bad because LaWan got 3 for murder Politics in the court house ain't the same since the murder. That's why constantly I watch all my enemies 'Cause d**h is a disease to all my TRU g'z The can't shake it They can't seem to break the cycle That's why I'm protected by the gat and St. Micheal Ralph Sten said money runs the country Make ya do some strange things when it's right in front ya I done see mothers turn on they own kids Money make brothers turn on one another. Even make each other split the other's wig Animosity Least of all tops is ta watch ya back Life or d**h 'Cause ya never know if ya breathed ya last breath. [Chorus: x2] I'm already dead
So can't nobody k** me I done suffered to long to let another man fear me My pain brings anger to a total stranger Ain't no limit to my hall when I'm constantly in danger I just want to be surrounded by somebody that luv me But reallity is sendin' me those hatas undercover I don't know who to trust but my family and friends Takin' chances on your life when you let a stranger in Nowadays rappers dying So I take it as a message I lived to see another year so I count my blessings Tell Em' I'ma changed man, but they don't hear me On my knees beggin' god can you please forgive me Let the past be the past I'm investin' in the future Watch the ones that swallow most ya And the ones that'll do ya My advice to the world Maintain your sanity I know your faced with life or d**h everyday but overlook the evil Thoughts 'Cause there's gotta be another way Life or d**h? See me? I trust nobody Money is the rule to all evil Better watch yourself boo
