[Verse 1: Mannie Fresh]
I done teached and talked
Walked away and fought
Went from cussin and bustin
Hustle from day to dark
Turned nothin to somethin
Introduced to stunnin
In my life In my life
I done caused some hurt
And I done did some good
Said I can't even when I could
I was stopped and tested fingerprinted and arrested
In my life In my life
Just say no when I really meant yes
I'm gon smoke all night til it hurt my chest
Slim told me over the years that sh** gon tear up careers
In yo life In yo life
What'chu gon do when snakes come to yo crew
I'm a get on my knees and ask the Lord please
Separate good from fake and the love and the hate
In my life In my life
[B.G.]
I mean f** I done had a rough life you know what I'm sayin
B.G. lived that thug life
I done done it all in my life
I done done time
I done lived in group homes
I been on the third floor of hospitals
I mean it's just been a stuggle for me
But now I'm on top you know what I'm sayin
And it ain't to turnin back
And I take chances in whatever I do
Cuz if I don't take chances I don't see the life after all
[Verse 2: Mannie]
The night in the Rover
When the n***as came over
You went out like a soldier
And I still can't get over
What fake b**hes done done
Got me clutchin my gun
In this life In this life
I used to wonder why
All the good n***as die
Why some soldier gotta suffer
And mothers gotta cry
Why my daddie gotta lie
Cuz he don't even try to be
In my life In my life
Take care of your crib
Where you lay down and live
Forget and forgive cuz you done put it through some sh**
Had yo daughter and yo son
Been down since day one
In yo life In yo life
What the f** is wrong you don't understand this song
Tell yo momma you love her before she dead and gone
n***a that don't quit that's some real a** sh**
In this life In this life
[Juvenile]
Man I mean me Juvenile d** tore my family up
I'm from the projects so you know I just realized
What it means to be successful
Cuz I been through all kinds of sh** man bullsh**
And I live through Baby, Slim and the Lord to help me
And I came to them as a real n***a
And I said look dog I'm tired of livin like this man
[Verse 3: Baby]
I had pounds of coke
I had money to blow
I had a felony charge
I had to fight in the court
I had warrant reports
Shot up cars before
In my life My life
I got kids to feed
I got n***as to watch
I need a hundred mil
I need to get off the block
Wear soldier Rees
In the gamblin spot
In my life My life

I could bag it and move it
I could toat in the budget
Got money to prove it
I done flood the public
Hope Beatrice'll do it
In my life My life
Now my name is Baby
But the

Ain't a b**h that I know that can say that I love her
Gettin p**y from a boss b**h wearin a rubber

Let me bling and floss
Let me ride without the law always searchin my car
I just wanna chill f** b**hes and play

Goin to the people knowin that they made me and sh**
You just don't know what I go through
