Rapper Big Pooh - The Life lyrics

[Rapper Big Pooh] Uh, y'know, I'm looking back right I'm looking over my life and sh** I used to do some crazy sh** man I used to do some wild sh** yo I used to think crazy and sh** y'know? Hah, yeah Aiyyo, I've been even-kilt{?} all of my life From a very young age learnt wrong from right Never weighed in my decision when I took that bike Chain popped, got caught, couldn't make that flight I done shaved too many steps, got tripped by sight Spent one too many minutes with the cops that night I preferred a cold cell to the hell my mama raised I did it for the thrill cause not every crime pays Ten years old, I was going through a phase My uncle said chill 'fore you wind up in the cage I smirked, cause a little finger printing ain't hurt A few weeks pa**ed, I was back in them streets A devious child, I appeared so sweet A straight-A student every parent wanna meet But looking back now, all I do is smile Little boy became a man, see I landed on my feet My life [Hook: Mushinah] Life is moving by so fast And we can never guess what's next And I understand it at last At laaaaaaast [Rapper Big Pooh] By the age of fourteen I straightened a little bit It's high school time and I'm off the new sh** We moved out of town and I found me a new clique A few chill n***as I can be cool wit Went to school with the intentions of being on the end Found myself out smoking weed, drinking gin Wild Irish Rose, Mad Dog 20/20 Scheming up ways I can come into some money The age of sixteen started playing with the words Round the same time Ronnie playing with the birds He offered me a job, I ain't really had a nerve Selling narcotics from me wanting the curve Dove into music, gambled away money Through my man Mike, met this new little honey Funny, all I can do now is smile Tryna become a man but I'm still largest child My life [Hook: Mushinah] [Rapper Big Pooh] So now I'm eighteen, me and my mom beefing Talking bout arguing over sh** for no reason Part-time job with a part-time scam Sliding through school but pa**ing I am No life plans, I just wanna be grown Out my mama house, living life on my own Coming to the crib when she leaving out for work Sleeping through the day, waking up getting burnt I know I knew better but I still told lies Mama still loved her little boy, no ties "Son you need to straighten up before your demise" Saw the truth in them words when I stared in her eyes That was no surprise when she looking at her child Fully-grown man, no more out acting wild All I do is smile looking back at my past A young'n no more, it's my life at last My life [Hook: Mushinah] [Mushinah: X2] It's my liiiife, my liiiife My liiiife, my liiiiiiiife
