Live The Life

Lyrics

[Intro] Uh, yeah This is a J. Sands expedition Take you on a little journey From Pittsburgh, D.C., all the way to Paris You know how we do baby pa Yeah, yeah, yeah If you know the life, then you livin' the life You know what I'm saying 'cause all my niggas out there getting money Doing what they gotta do to get it That's how we gonna get with it Check it [Verse 1] In my area code, so many stories will occur Cats will run up in a blur, snatch your jewels and fur Then haul ass down the curb, past the cats selling herb Holding fort in the hotel, with the do not disturb Sign posted, I seen this loot and how we grossed it And how we roasted, those two kids by Saint Joseph's Everybody's paranoid, strapped to heavy [?] Even the beats, be focused when they're posted 'cause every since they beat down, [?] up on Locust Without motive, there's been death threats explosive Between blacks, Asians, and Caucasians 'cause they all praising the mighty dollar White collar to blue These life stories are true Especially when you, are living in the four one two That's why I shot the [?] one through, to set the record straight How you get first class dreams, but only paying second rate? [Chorus] So if you livin' life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife Yo if you livin life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife Yo if you livin life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife Yo if you livin life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife, baby [Verse 2] Ayy yo front window shatters, screams. It don't matter 'cause no one cares, unless it's theirs because who'd rather Get their self caught up, the mama business I was brought up And master the environment, or else become a product of it 'cause times are slum, budget. Who want to lug it? When it's easier to push it, stash it in the bushes When the beats is lurking, and plan A's no longer working You better have plan B, or else it might be curtains 'cause these days ain't for certain, Armageddon got us doin' it But I wonder at our pace, and our course can we avoid it? Collision from livin', the dead are risen in hell's prison A vision deep as religion, I give decisions wisdom When you make 'em limits, go as far as we can take 'em But for now let's just keep it, at assalamualaikum 'cause that's all I can afford, green backs be gettin' taxed But now I'm on the paper chase, there's not time to relax [Chorus] So if you livin' life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife Yo if you livin life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife Yo if you livin life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife Yo if you livin life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife, baby [Verse 3] Ayy yo cash, money, loot, skrilla, and greenbacks For all of the above, many men get taxed Plus the leather in the slacks, if Pittsburgh is where ya at Man them shorties got gats, to blow your body off the map See my fam from way back, sippin' cheap wine on the haystack From Mississippi to Alabama, with country grammar So my New Orleans queens, one thing now my fall When your mind says no, but your body doesn't halt Mister cold powers, critical for the hours Of chaos have me wide, open just like the day was Nineteen seventy two, precise September 16th When I started life now I walk on the humble, with all these [?] And [?], looking for a piece of the extravagant But they ain't havin' it, what you makin'? they grabin' it Don't matter if they shootin' it, or stabbin' it Uh [Chorus] So if you livin' life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife Yo if you livin life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife Yo if you livin life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife Yo if you livin life, then you know the life 'cause if you livin' life, you know this shit is trife, baby [Outro] Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, so fresh Come on
