[Intro]
Uhh, man this life we live (wooh)
West side baby, West side (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Yo I’ve been strong for a while but anyhow
I wonder how much stress God gon’ lend me next
Cause n***as stress me out here looking petty now
All because they mad, they gon’ be scraping pennies now
f** it, tell my little Ma, “bring the Remy out”
All the Henny out, but please don’t feel me now
Aw sh**, I forgot, she ain’t with me now
It seems like they always leave at the right time
The ones that always seem to keep me from my right mind
I guess I got to write my problems down
Cause in my lifetime, ain’t no one in my eyesight that I can trust with my lifeline
A honest man walking this Earth is like Sci-Fi
The real truth is this is where the crime lies
If you got beef with one dude, you got beef with five guys
Ain’t no going thru no drive-thru, but they gon’ hit that drive by, bye, bye
[Hook]
One minute you got a friend til the end then they try to steal yo motherf**ing ends (man, this life we in)
First you all she need in this life of sin then she try to f** your friends (man, this life we live)
I been affected by both friends and kin, but f** it, I guess we all sin (man, this life we in)
So roll that weed and pour up that gin poor and this to how the story begins (man, this life we live)
[Verse 2]
If you really not a gangsta, don’t say that
Cause real a** gangstas don’t play that
There’s a reason why the place that I stay that had ghetto birds making they nests above where we laid at
A place that we remain slaves that
Got off the ships and came back
I guess we want the chains back
Cause it’s easy to get your chain snatched
They want that, they take that
Real bad boys take that, take that
This real life, you can’t fake that
Either get into it with guys who been institutionalized
Or get into school and grind
And then find, you going to school to get fined
Or maybe you can get signed
Now everybody say that you they n***a, but they only real interest is to get a loss percentaged
That album flopped and you finished
I guess what they mean is, if you got money than it’s a friendship
[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I first learned n***as wasn’t something since I was a youngin’
From someone I call my cousin, I was like eight or something
Back when I was on my Pokemon card sh**
I finally got this holographic Charizard, the cosmic
Cousin came thru, I told him the news, but I lost it
Well at least, I thought this, we both looked for it
Checked the whole room, under the bed, the closet
Damn, still ain’t got it, went back to the closet like five minutes later
And guess what popped in, that card was just not there I’m so positive this lil n***a took my sh** just to try to help me find it
Na, not him, no, never not kin
sh**, we wasn’t really blood, but na, we not crips
I’m saying that we wasn’t cousins, and now I guess we really aren’t friends
This is where it all ends
This sh** ain’t right, god damn
